Jerinx has opposed the land reclamation in Benoa Bay, Bali since 2014 [1] because of its social impact. [2] On 10 July 2018, Jerinx demanded President of Indonesia Joko Widodo to fulfil his promise back in 2015 to follow up on the Benoa Bay reclamation issue. [3]
On 11 November 2018, Jerinx criticised dangdut singer Via Vallen in an Instagram post for covering the 2013 SID song "Sunset di Tanah Anarki" without permission. Vallen was said to have removed the meaning of the song. "VV [Via Vallen] should have learned to be a human, not just able to take. All this time singing SDTA [Sunset di Tanah Anarki] thousands of times, do our song's lyrics have no meaning for her? After being successful, what can you do to appreciate the work that brought you to a better place? With millions of followers, at least contribute to the movement against forgetting, or the straightening of '65 history, the struggle of Kendeng, etc., there are so many things that VV can do without having to spend money," Jerinx said. [4] Vallen apologised in her Instagram, saying that she did not mean to ruin the song by singing it in a dangdut koplo arrangement. [5] Jerinx later accepted the apology, but still stands by the previous comments. [4]

Digital Audio Tape is a signal recording and playback medium developed by Sony and introduced in 1987. In appearance it is similar to a Compact Cassette, using 3.81 mm / 0.15" magnetic tape enclosed in a protective shell, but is roughly half the size at 73 mm × 54 mm × 10.5 mm. The recording is digital rather than analog. DAT can record at sampling rates equal to, as well as higher and lower than a CD at 16 bits quantization. If a comparable digital source is copied without returning to the analogue domain, then the DAT will produce an exact clone, unlike other digital media such as Digital Compact Cassette or non-Hi-MD MiniDisc, both of which use a lossy data reduction system.
