Commission I of Indonesia’s House of Representatives (DPR) says it supports the PT Telkomsel appeal in the bankruptcy ruling that was brought about by the PT Prima Jaya Informatika case. The support was expressed in a hearing which was organized by authorities in the capital yesterday.
A member of Commision I of the DPR from the PDI-P Party Faction, Maruarar Sirait, asked the government to maintain Telkomsel as assets that are vital to the state. A Demokrat Party Faction member, Roy Suryo, showed the same support for Telkomsel, saying to Harian Seputar Indonesia that the case is strange and unreasonable, causing the nation’s biggest telco to be declared bankrupt over a relatively small amount of disputed money. Roy questioned:
Who are the people behind this PT Prima? Who is not eligible under the MoU between Telkomsel and PT Prima?
In contrast, the Golkar Party Faction’s, Enggartiasto Lukita, said to Kompas.com that Telkomsel’s board of directors was being arrogant by thinking that this was a small case. PDI-P Party Faction’s Evita Nursanty also shared the same opinion, and said she suspected Telkomsel assigned junior staff and a team of lawyers to the case who were not skilled enough to deal with a lawsuit – causing the company to lose in court and be hit with the “bankrupt” ruling.
President director of Telkomsel, Alex J Sinaga, asked Commission I to give attention and support to Telkomsel to get justice according to the law. Alex explained that the support is needed in order to carry out Telkomsel’s strategic role as a major telco in the nation.
