Reject the stigma that OJK lives 'paid for' by the financial industryMehendra had revealed that he rejected the notion that OJK had been able to operate because it received financial support from financial industry players.

According to Mahendra, OJK works according to the applicable laws. He also explained that these regulations are binding and must be obeyed appropriately.
"Everything is mandated by law. We as citizens or legal entities must obey. And that doesn't mean we owe it to those who pay the dues, it's not like that.
