Mass Returns to Demo at BSI Office, Police Emphasizes that the Demand for Assistance Funds is Unfounded

JAKARTA - A number of masses have again held a demonstration in front of the Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) office at the Alam Sutra By Tower Building, Jalan Gatot Subroto, South Jakarta, on Monday, December 15, 2025 afternoon. Their demands are still the same as the previous action, namely asking for the disbursement of assistance funds which they claim have not been received.

Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Budi Hermanto, confirmed the action. However, he emphasized that the mass demands related to the disbursement of the assistance funds had no basis.

"It is true that there is a mass that came to BSI to demand something that actually never existed in the conditions at BSI. This has been clarified and conveyed by BSI to the media," he said when confirmed by VOI, Monday, December 15, 2025.

Even so, the Metro Jaya Police will still carry out security to maintain a conducive situation during the action. Budi appealed to the participants of the action to comply with the rules and regulations in force.

"We will continue to provide security services at the BSI location. We appeal to the masses to comply with the rules because the BSI location is on the side of the road which is a busy road and there are still many other road users that we must respect," he concluded.

Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) revealed that information regarding the disbursement of government grant funds worth Rp. 10 trillion in return for Rp. 10 million to Rp. 15 million per person is not true. The hoax news triggered the arrival of hundreds of people to the BSI office, Alam Sutra by Tower, Gatot Subroto, South Jakarta, Monday, December 8, 2025.

BSI Corporate Secretary, Wisnu Sunandar, said that people who came because of an invitation from certain parties who claimed that the government placed the Balance of Budget (SAL) fund of Rp. 10 trillion at BSI to be distributed to residents

"People who come because of the invitation to get funds per person are still 10 million rupiah as government assistance," he said.
