Whilst it is generally not required for foreigners with a stay permit to carry their passport or KITAS/P, I would strongly suggest they carry their ID card and a copy of their KITAS/P at all times.
The SKTT or KTP OA is generally considered enough proof of legal status but the photocopy won't hurt to have handy.
I used to carry my KITAS and KITAP at all times along with my local ID, but always in a hidden wallet so as to avoid loss.
Not having the local ID was always considered to e a minor offence but being nabbed without it could mean a night in a cell, a small fine, then going to get one anyway.
