JAKARTA - The Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) has officially revoked the permit for the Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) Foundation. Withdrawal of twekai permits is suspected of violating regulations by the foundation.

The young Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) figure Nadirsyah Hosen alias Gus Nadir reminded the public and state institutions to temporarily suspend the collaboration involving the ACT Foundation.

"It's been revoked guys….Please stop all cooperation and donation programs through ACT until the operating license is restored," he said via his Twitter account @na_dirs on Wednesday, July 6th.

Gus Nadir hopes that law enforcement officers will move quickly to secure ACT Foundation assets in the form of movable and immovable objects. Including confiscation of the foundation's account funds.

"So that there is no transfer of assets and funds in the account, please the government also move to secure it," he said.

He also asked the government and the apparatus in controlling the assets and accounts of the ACT Foundation to cooperate with the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) in its implementation.

"Invite the Central MUI so that it won't be fried here and there," he said.

The revocation of the ACT Foundation's license is stated in the Decree of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 133/HUK/2022 dated July 5, 2022 regarding the revocation of the permit to collect donations to the Aksi Cepat Tanggap Foundation.

The decision was signed by the Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos) Ad Interim Muhadjir Effendi on Tuesday, July 5.

Muhadjir, who is also Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, is known to temporarily replace Social Minister Tri Rismaharini who is currently carrying out the pilgrimage.

"So the reason we revoke it is because there are indications of violations of the Minister of Social Affairs Regulation until later we wait for the results of the inspection from the Inspectorate General, then there will be further sanctions provisions," said Muhadjir in his written statement, Wednesday, July 6.
