"We don't have the Medan City Government or I am the mayor, the deputy mayor ordered something like that, I asked yesterday, I said no. How come the agencies also ask for such a request," he said.

According to Bobby Nasution, Medan City Government has never distributed aid or received assistance from CSR. However, the implementation process is not like what is stated in the letter belonging to one of the outstanding offices

"The community or companies that want to provide CSR are clear, we have also received no CSR like that. So it's not allowed. I was warned yesterday," he said.
