JAKARTA - Today's memory, three years ago, February 26, 2023, the Minister of Finance (Menkeu), Sri Mulyani asked the motorcycle club gede (moge) of the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP), Belasting Rijder to be disbanded. The presence of the moge club was considered to have violated the principles of decency and speed.

Previously, the case of showing off luxury vehicles of DJP employees often made a fuss. The narrative was brought up by the Director General of Taxes, Suryo Utomo, who showed off driving with a moge club, Belasting Rijder. A motorcycle club formed by DJP employees.

The persecution carried out by Mario Dandy Utomo to David Ozora Latumahina shocked the whole of Indonesia. Instead of the son of the third-ranking official of the Directorate General of Taxes, Rafael Alun Trisambodo, he was known to be cruel, the case actually opened a new problem.

Mario is known to often show off his parents' collection of luxury vehicles. The impact is that many have questioned the origin of the money to buy luxury vehicles. Mario's parents are also considered to have committed corruption.

This condition is because with the status of a level III official it is impossible to buy many luxury vehicles. DJP also gets attention from here and there. Uniquely, the entire DJP does not even study. The leader of DJP himself, Suryo Utomo was caught showing off driving with a moge club, Belasting Rijder.

A motorcycle club formed by DJP employees. The name of the motorcycle club uses Dutch. Belasting which means tax and Rijder which means rider. The presence of the motorcycle club is increasingly damaging the name of the Director General of Taxes.

The public considers that the entire DJP is nothing more than hedonistic and corrupt employees. This condition is because many people are suspicious of the ownership of moge among tax officials. The price of moge is not cheap. Moreover, the presence of the moge club is considered disruptive in the midst of Indonesia's economic recovery. The problem then reached the ears of the Minister of Finance, Sri Mulyani.

"Even if the moge is obtained and purchased with halal money and official salary, driving and showing off moge for tax officials or employees and the Ministry of Finance and Economy has violated the principles of decency and public speed," said Sri as quoted by VOI, February 26, 2023.

Sri was angry. He saw firsthand how the portrait of DJP employees with Suryo Utomo riding a moge that spread on various social media and mass media. Sri also ordered the dissolution of the Belasting Rijder moge club on February 26, 2023.

Sri considers the presence of Belasting Rijder to have violated the principles of decency and speed. This condition is because the presence of moge in the life of a DJP official can create a negative perception. Moreover, lately DJP has been under the spotlight due to the children of DJP employees who show off luxury vehicles and hurt others.

"Asking that the Blasting Rijder DJP club be dissolved. The hobby and lifestyle of riding moge has created a negative perception of society and raised suspicions about the source of wealth of DJP employees," Sri said in his official statement via Instagram @smindrawati, February 26, 2023.
