Not significant, the formation of the dividend of PT Migas Bekasi City is smaller than the advance scandal of Rp. 9.3 billion – the latest viral of Indonesia

VIRALTERKINI.ID, BEKASI – The Bekasi City Community Forum (Formation) responded to the claim of return of dividends made by PT Migas Bekasi City in the amount of Rp 3.7 billion over the past three years. The formation assumed that the return of dividend of Rp 3.7 billion was not proportional to the irregularities of the down payment payment scheme issued by the company amounting to Rp 9.3 billion.

“The claim of the dividend returns of Rp 3.7 billion (Rp 2.3 billion in 2025) was not comparable to the irregularities of the operational advance payment scheme and legal consulting services worth Rp 9.3 billion. Moreover, both of them were unclear for what operations and legal services!

According to Syarif, the value of the dividend is far smaller than the financial value of the management of PT Migas Bekasi City. Therefore, for him, the return of the dividend should not need to be exaggerated. PT Migas Bekasi City should actually be able to be open and transparent in delivering the accountability of the management scheme of the company’s advances that reached Rp 9.3 billion.

“The focus is not to return the dividend. The focus is precisely in the management of the company’s operational down payment payment schemes and legal services of Rp 9.3 billion. The value of the dividend is much smaller. Very not comparable,” he explained.

Syarif also urged the West Java Province Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP West Java) to conduct an investigative audit of the irregularities in the return of dividends which only amounted to Rp 3.7 billion and an advance payment scheme of Rp 9.3 billion. According to him, BPKP West Java has a legal responsibility to reveal allegations of irregularities or fraud in the financial management of PT Migas Bekasi City.

“The polemic of the financial management of PT Migas Bekasi City must be ended. One way to urge BPKP West Java to conduct an investigative audit of BPKP West Java’s finances. Later after being audited (BPKP), it will be discovered whether or not there is a potential for corruption in the company,” he said.

The formation also demanded that PT Migas Bekasi City announce the company’s financial statements openly and responsibly. Including showing evidence of a dividend return transaction valued at Rp 3.7 billion and at the same time explaining the use of operational advance costs of Rp 5.37 billion and advances for legal consulting services worth Rp 3.96 billion.

“So the end must indeed be proven the claim of the return of dividend worth Rp 3.7 billion. In addition, the board of directors of PT Migas Bekasi City must also explain and be responsible for the irregularities of operational advance payments and legal services which in total amounted to Rp 9.3 billion,” he said.
