The enactment of living law can potentially create legal uncertainty and abuse of power by the government. Law enforcement against living law is also difficult to implement, because it is tied to the four indicators. Therefore, the living law provision better not be placed as part of general principles in the Indonesian Penal Code Bill. Keywords: Code Bill: Legality principle; Living law.
