Even Though It's Difficult, Wika Salim Tries To Sincerely Take Manggung Money Allegedly Taken Away By Management Personnel

JAKARTA - Dangdut singer Wika Salim tries to be sincere in dealing with the alleged embezzlement of money by his management of his gig money.

Wika said that this is a test and also a reminder for him from God so that it can be better in the future.

"Actually, if I am the one who is said to be sincere, I have to try to be sincere because yes, it's back again what happened to all of them for God willing," said Wika Salim in the Tendean area, South Jakarta, Wednesday, December 11.

"Maybe this is also a test for me, or not this is also a reminder for me to be told what things like this are going to do," he continued.

When asked about the possibility of money not being able to return, Wika admitted that he could only try to be sincere but the legal process would continue.

"Yes, if the possibility is bitter, it turns out that everything can't go back or what if you say sincere, you have to be sincere, but there is another solution that must be done, so you must be able to accept the consequences for all the actions you have done," said Wika Salim.

Previously, Wika Salim and his attorney, Sandy Arifin, were present at the Polda Metro Jaya to consult regarding alleged embezzlement of money.

"So our client, Neng Wika, suffered a sizeable loss related to cooperation contracts for singing, work outside the city and in the city, it is suspected that there is, maybe in our management we are still curious," said Sandy Arifin at Polda Metro Jaya, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, December 4.

Sandy Arifin said he was investigating the number of management personnel suspected of embezzlement.

"I don't know if it's one or two people, but or if there's cooperation in the management of Neng Wika, I'm also deepening with Neng Wika," said Sandy Arifin.

On the same occasion, Wika said that as a result of this incident, many parties suffered losses.

"Yes, what is certain is that (the amount of money) is not small because the time period is also not short and it's also not just mine. So there are some of my workers too, my crew and I also have embezzled funds like that," he said.
