JAKARTA - Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid spoke about the examination of an employee of the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi) who is suspected of being involved in an online gambling syndicate.

According to him, all ASN in the Komdigi environment have signed a special integrity pact related to the war on online gambling.

Thus, Meutya will be firm and will no longer play games in the issue of all criminal offenses, especially online gambling in order to provide protection to the people so that they are safe in the digital space, in accordance with President Prabowo Subianto's direction.

"I have ordered all ranks under Komdigi to cooperate with law enforcement officials," said the Minister of Trade in an official statement.

He also appreciated the efforts of the National Police for the rapid and precise arrests and legal actions of those involved in online gambling syndicates indiscriminately.

"Law enforcement will be carried out in a firm and indiscriminate manner against anyone involved, including and especially if it is an official within our ministry," he said further.

This fact will also not eliminate the commitment of the Ministry of Communication and Industry in eradicating online gambling, especially to protect all Indonesian people.

"The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs is committed to fully supporting the direction of the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Mr. Prabowo Subianto in eradicating all forms of illegal activities, including online gambling, which harms the community and damages the values of our nation," said Meutya.
