JAKARTA - President Director of PT Timah Tbk Ahmad Dani Virsal was questioned by a number of questions by members of Commission VI DPR RI in a Hearing Meeting that discussed the company's performance in 2023, Tuesday, April 2.

In the meeting, Commission VI assessed that the answers and presentations submitted were not well prepared by the President Director, who had only served for 6 months.

Member of Commission VI from the PDI-P faction, Darmadi Durianto, even assessed that Ahmad Dani Virsal was seen in a state of stress and weakness so that he did not respond to questions raised by members of the DPR during the meeting.

"I understand actually because you are only 6 months old, but the type of presentation and the answer as you describe indicates that you are not ready to come. Because the various questions asked are clear that you are not ready. I understand the psychology of you leading PT Timah after being hit by a big case. You look stressed now, you don't have the spirit of not having the power to come here, "said Darmadi.

Darmadi even advised Ahmad Dani to take some vitamins and even get a vitamin shot from Abdi Waluyo Hospital.

"You have to take a lot of vitamins, the vitamin injection at Abdi Waluyo is close to vitamins, just put it in, sir, so cheer up. Freedom!" added Darmadi.

He also highlighted the company's 'destroyed' financial performance due to a loss of IDR 450 billion in 2023. Darmadi also asked Ahmad Dani Vuirsal to better understand the company's finances even though he does not have a job background in the financial sector.

"Until it cannot be explained that prices have dropped, EBITDA correlations with others. You can't explain because you're not a financial person but you have to understand that you can't talk," he added.

Haris Turino from the PDI-P faction also gave a statement. He even assessed that during his presentation, the President Director of PT Timah did not have a sense of crisis in the midst of various problems experienced by PT Timah.

"When I received the presentation material, there was no small sense of crisis even though several directors were in detention," said Haris.

According to him, during today's presentation, the President Director of PT Timah not only explained the decline in income and existing problems but also the strategy carried out by the company. In this presentation, the President Director only described two strategies.

"Saa is very surprised that in the midst of a situation like this the strategic progress is only 2. The first is non-t tin development, namely the chemical tin solver and solder powder as well as the optimization of Zirkon which is a tin followed mineral. How much is the contribution from this new product to PT Timah? Is there no other program, sir, that is more significant?" said Haris.

Deputy Chairman of Commission VI of the House of Representatives, Martin Manurung, even proposed holding a working committee (panja) to oversee the PT Timah case.

"There are several materials related to the details of the PT Timah case that will be investigated at the time of the Panja. Therefore, please provide the necessary deepening to become a new RDP and then there will be a Panja Meeting," concluded Martin.
