Episode Description

This episode covers vital regulatory developments affecting cybersecurity, financial deposit insurance (penjaminan), etomidate substance control, public health initiatives, and tuberculosis elimination efforts across ASEAN countries.

Major highlights include Indonesia's National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM) authorizing measles vaccines for adults, prioritizing healthcare workers and high-risk groups to strengthen immunization coverage. Additionally, Indonesia launches an extensive free health check program targeting 130 million people to accelerate tuberculosis early detection and treatment.

In the financial sector, Indonesia's Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) manages the liquidation and deposit insurance payments following the revocation of PT BPR Sungai Rumbai's business license. Depositors must comply with LPS’s verification processes to claim their deposits within stipulated timelines.

Singapore has stepped up enforcement by charging an individual for alleged trafficking of etomidate vaporiser pods amid new regulations classifying etomidate as a Specified Psychoactive Substance. Furthermore, leading firms in Singapore have committed to enhancing cybersecurity and data protection practices through voluntary undertakings.
