“There is no obligation, it is voluntary. Your name is also a donation, thankful, it is also fine,” said Ariyes when he was contacted on Wednesday (05/13/2020).

According to Ariyes, requests for Lebanese THR donations to the community and the company are common things that the Youth of Pancasila usually do every year.

Furthermore, regarding the inclusion of his name as Chairman of the MPC PP, as well as the names of important officials such as the Chief of the East Bekasi Sub-District, the Chief of Police of East Bekasi and East Bekasi Danramil, Ariyes admitted without his knowledge.

He also rebuked members who included the names of various parties without permission.

“I already reprimanded him. That is just a copy for me, there is no letter. That is why I told the members who are facing the Sector Police (apologies),” said Ariyes.

He said that the THR contribution requested by members of the mass organization was not just for personal members.

However, he stated that the funds would be used for social assistance this Ramadhan month.
