JAKARTA - The policyholder (Pempol) AJB Bumiputera 1912 who is a member of the Indonesian Bumiputera Family Association (PKBI) expressed new concerns as well as hopes for developments that occurred in the case of the loss of company funds amounting to Rp165 billion.
Information that revealed the alleged falsification of documents by former workers' union AJB Bumiputera 1912 that caused the disbursement of the large funds has again raised the attention of the police chief on the importance of thoroughly and transparent investigation of this case.
The Rp165 billion disbursed by former workers does not belong to their personal property. It belongs to the policyholders. We will not remain silent. We want justice to be upheld," said PKBI Police Chief Ahmad Suriadi to reporters, Friday, April 25.
The news of the alleged false information of the PB 2023 document by the former AJB Bumiputera 1912 Workers Union which resulted in the loss of Rp. 165 billion, shocked the police chief. Ahmad said that the money could actually be used to pay for the rights of the local government. His party appreciated AJB Bumiputera 1912's management who seriously traced the case. Not only that, support was also given to law enforcement officials, especially the Central Jakarta Metro Police.
"We give our appreciation to AJB BP 1912 management who are still struggling to investigate this case. This process must be supported by all parties, including law enforcement officials," said Ahmad.
We are grateful that the management is still struggling with the lost money. Not a few, a lot. The figure is IDR 165 billion. How much do we policyholders get paid for the policy with that money? If this is true, we really support all the perpetrators to be severely punished and also the Rp165 billion they (ex-employee) have to return, "added Ahmad.
Ahmad revealed that his party had sent an official letter to the Central Jakarta District Court. This is regarding the execution of PB 2023 which is suspected of using false information from the former trade union. However, his party considers the Central Jakarta District Court's response to the official letter to it to be very disappointing. The Central Jakarta District Court said it had given a warning, but showed no seriousness in protecting the rights of the police government.
"This is our moment asking whether the Central Jakarta District Court does not know that AJB BP 1912 is mainly paying maturing policies. How is it possible for employees who receive salaries every month and even get bonuses at that time have the right to disburse Rp165 billion from the Company? The Central Jakarta District Court only sees the side of employees, not looking at the interests of policy owners. Where is that justice? Even in the Central Jakarta District Court room, we don't even see it, "said Ahmad.
Ahmad said document falsification in the process of disbursing company funds could be categorized as a form of serious crime. If it is done, according to Ahmad, the perpetrator must be punished severely, and the funds must be fully returned to the company.
"We call on the legal apparatus, including the police and the prosecutor's office, not to hesitate to investigate this case to its roots. We are not fighting for one or two people. This is a matter of collective justice of thousands of families throughout Indonesia. We just want our rights to be returned. The spirit continues, Bumiputera. We continue to support you, "said Ahmad.
Closing his statement, Ahmad conveyed three aspirations from the police chief regarding the alleged case of document falsification by the former AJB Bumiputera trade union 1912.
First, demanding an open and fair legal process against the parties involved, especially former trade unions. Second, support the management of AJB BP 1912 to restore the company. Third, hope that law enforcement officials make policyholder interests a top priority, and ask for the attention of OJK and the government to participate in saving AJB Bumiputera 1912.
Previously, the Central Jakarta Police were expected to immediately thoroughly investigate the alleged criminal act of giving false information in the authentic deed as referred to in Article 266 of the Criminal Code. This case emerged after a report by AJB Bumiputera management attorney 1912, Faisal Habibie regarding the alleged manipulation of documents in a request for execution at the Central Jakarta District Court which allegedly involved a union, among others on behalf of Rizky Yudha Pratama.
This case also raises concerns over the fate of other policyholders. This is because the funds that should have been used to pay obligations to policyholders have been restrained due to the execution process which was questioned for legality.

Faisal Habibie from the reporting party believes law enforcement officers work objectively and professionally in investigating this alleged violation. According to Faisal, the application for execution of the 2023 PB Deed submitted by representatives of the AJB Bumiputera Commercial, Bank, Services and Insurance Workers Union (SP NIBA) was deemed not in accordance with the provisions of the deed.
He revealed that of the approximately 1,300 workers who applied for execution, only 267 were legally entitled to receive benefits in the form of a life-responsibility certificate which could only be disbursed if the recipient workers had died.
"However, in the process, this claim was submitted earlier and granted by the court. This caused disruption of the company's obligation to pay claims to other policyholders that should be prioritized," said Faisal.
Meanwhile, Rizky Yudha Pratama confirmed that he had been summoned by Central Jakarta Police investigators to provide information on April 8, 2025. "It's true that I was summoned, and indeed I was reported by Faisal Habibie," said Rizky.
