JAKARTA - The push for economist from Gadjah Mada University (UGM) Sasmito Hadinegoro for President Prabowo Subianto to save state money from the BLBI scandal by taking over 51 percent of BCA's shares has drawn criticism. Member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the PKB faction, Tommy Kurniawan, assessed that this statement was not appropriate in the midst of increasing national investment performance.
Tommy, who sits on Commission XI of the DPR, said that the realization of investment in the first quarter of 2025 actually recorded positive results. "The realization of investment reached Rp465.2 trillion, growing 15.9 percent compared to the previous period. The investment climate is good in the midst of global uncertainty. So there should be no statements that cause public noise, let alone banking matters," said Tommy in a written statement received on Sunday, August 17.
He reminded that old issues such as BLBI should not be linked to private banks such as BCA. According to him, the government already has a solution mechanism with shareholders. Such statements actually pose a risk of disturbing the public, customers, and investors. We need stability, not noise," continued the PKB politician who is familiarly called Tomkur.

Tommy emphasized that the move to maintain investor confidence is much more important than throwing discourses that could trigger market speculation. "Investment is growing, the economy is in a maintained condition. Don't bother with opinions that have no clear purpose and purpose," he said.
