Martin said that although BSI is the largest Islamic bank, the withdrawal of tens of trillions of funds by PP Muhammadiyah needs to be known.

Even though BSI Bank Syariah is the largest, if Muhammadiyah withdraws the funds, what is the reason why they (BSI) must be investigated. We also don't know. Later at the meeting we will explore with BSI," he explained.
