Hello,
The hatch is an inspection panel for part of the engine and should be secured with 4 catches, to use tape is very poor practice. There is actually no problem to the aircraft to fly without the panel, it is just streamlining and reduces drag. The danger would be when it came off, it could fly back and hit the tail doing some further damage.
If this aircraft was operated by Adam Air there are already some serious concerns about their safety practices. You should pass these photographs onto the Indonesian DGAC for them to investigate. Also you may like to put them on this link

Dear Sir,
I flew with one of Indonesian airline. And when i saw to right engine through a window, I saw a strange hole on the top of the engine. Do you know what this hole/section made for? I don't understand, why they didn't close the hole/hatch but only used some bloody tapes and all the tapes lost during take off? Is it safe?
Thanks for your future reply
