Hard! Gun Romli Plays ACT As 'Religion Is Just A Mask'

JAKARTA - PSI politician Guntur Romli alias Gun Romli responded strongly to the news of the high salary of Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) officials. The news broke after the hashtags #AksiCepatTilep and #janganBelyaACT trended on social media.

The hashtag became a trend after Tempo magazine exposed the alleged misappropriation of humanitarian funds by ACT.

According to Gun Romli, those who donate to ACT are tempted by religious promises but the accountability for the donation money is questioned. He also made a mockery of ACT as 'Religion is just a mask'.

"Religion is just a mask (ACT). Those who donate are given religious promises," wrote Gun Romli on his Twitter account, @GunRomli, Monday, July 4.

Gun Romli wonders how high-ranking philanthropic organizations get such big salaries. Even ACT officials received luxury cars like the Alphard when they held prestigious positions in the organization.

"Those who manage enrich themselves with worldly and luxurious facilities," said Gun Romli.

Previously, ACT was suspected of misappropriating public funds based on an investigation report by Tempo Magazine. The amount of salary is one of the headlines that makes people question the credibility of the philanthropic organization

The report states that the salary of the Chairman of the ACT Board of Trustees is said to have received a salary of around Rp. 250 million. Meanwhile, lower officials such as the Senior Vice President received around Rp. 150 million, the Vice President Rp. 80 million, the executive director Rp. 50 million, and the director Rp. 30 million per month.
