Task Force Says Many BLBI Obligors Live In Singapore

JAKARTA - The daily chairman of the Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance Task Force (BLBI) Rionald Silaban said the majority of BLBI obligors residing abroad reside in Singapore.

"Therefore, we coordinate a lot with the Singapore Embassy on this matter," said Rionald Silaban at a press conference on Ex-BLBI Asset Control, quoted by Antara, Friday, August 27.

However, he emphasized that the summons of BLBI obligors residing abroad would be a follow-up step to the current collection process.

It is planned that the summons of BLBI obligors who live abroad will be guided by the Deputy Attorney General for Civil and State Administration (JAMDATUN), who has now begun to advise the Task Force Team on the handling of obligors outside the territory of Indonesia.

Currently, the BLBI Task Force, said Rionald, will focus first on domestic obligors, because there are still many obligors who need to fulfill the team's call.

"The summons continues and basically we in the Task Force form several teams and each team holds or controls several obligors and debtors," he said.

He revealed that at least the summoning of obligors is now in several stages, namely there are several obligors who have just begun to be summoned, have been summoned, and some are still in agreement talks to submit proposals.
