He explained that Lim Kiong Hin was convicted of a criminal act of corruption in the misuse of credit facilities provided by BNI Pontianak Branch without the approval of BNI Pontianak Branch officials.

Where the convict should have used the credit he obtained from BNI Pontianak Branch to increase sales targets, but the working capital credit facility obtained by the convict was used for personal interests, thus contrary to applicable regulations, resulting in a loss to the state of Rp. 16.4 billion.

For his actions, the Pontianak District Court based on Decision Number: 543/PID.B/2006/PN.PTK dated August 20, 2007, the convict was declared "The prosecution of the convict cannot be accepted or acquitted" by the Pontianak High Court.
