Not Only Religion, Tengku Zul Highlights Rp7 Trillion Loss Of Waskita Karya: The Wrong Not FPI Yes!

JAKARTA - Various national issues did not escape the comments of former Wasekjen MUI Tengku Zulkarnain. From his twitter account @ustadtengkuzul, he actively voiced criticism, giving feedback to compare one case with another.

Not only about religion that is attached to the daily life of Tengku Zul as a speaker. Political problems to the economy 'dilibas' with the agility of his thumb on the touch screen of the mobile phone.

Most recently, Tengku Zul commented on waskita Karya's loss which touched rp7 trillion. "Many get tasks from pak @jokowi Waskita Karya even lost 7 trillion, with a debt burden of 90 trillion plus interest of 4.7 trillion. Now it is sued for bankruptcy by vendors," tengku Zul was quoted as saying by VOI, Monday, April 12.

His comments were also accompanied by an online media article titled 'Waskita Boss Talks About Mountainous Debt and Loss of Rp7 Trillion.' In the last comment, Tengku Zul then insinuated that the government has recently been busy with the problem of radicalism until FPI.

"Who's in charge? Certainly not the FPI or anyone accused of radicalization. Isn't it?"" he quipped.

In the article mentioned, President Director of bumn karya issuer, PT Waskita Karya Tbk (WSKT), Destiawan Soewardjono talked about the condition of the company that is being constrained by high debt interest burden.

In addition, in 2020, the company recorded a loss of Rp 7.28 trillion, the opposite of the previous year's profit of Rp 872 billion.

This condition is increasingly weighed down by liabilities of Rp 89.01 trillion and debt interest expense of Rp 4.7 trillion. In fact, the company's efforts to reduce interest expense have been made, among others by divesting 5 toll roads managed by Waskita, but investors delayed the purchase plan due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

"As a result of this pandemic in 2020 there should be 5 segments that we divest but we failed because investors delayed," he said in a webinar, Thursday, April 8, quoted by Detik Finance via CNBC, Monday, April 12.
