BANDUNG - The West Java Provincial Government has asked Yayasan Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) to close its office in the West Java region after the Ministry of Social Affairs revoked the permit to collect money or goods of the institution following alleged violations committed by the foundation's manager." The administration has from the beginning requested and appealed to the regents and mayors to close the ACT Offices in their respective territories. I ask the ACT Office to close by itself, worrying that there are unwanted things," said West Java Governor Uu Daily Executive Ruzhanul Ulum in Bandung City, Thursday, July 7.After attending the National Family Day commemoration event in the West Hall of Gedung Sate, Uu said that the West Java Provincial Government will instruct the relevant agencies to close the ACT Office in the West Java region." If the finances cause jealousy and everything else, then I ask that it immediately close (the ACT office) in the West Java region," he said as quoted by Antara.He also urged residents to temporarily refrain from distributing donations through ACT until there is a decision from law enforcement regarding the case of alleged violations committed by the foundation's manager.

"There are still many who need donations, and there are still many institutions that are still valid in distributing donations," he said. West Java residents who want to make donations, infak, or alms, he continued, can also distribute it through the National Amil Zakat Agency (Baznas)." What is clear is that Baznas is only in West Java, red plates, (there is) accountability, and it is clear that its existence does not cause anything like now, or just directly provide assistance to islamic boarding schools, nursing homes, and others," he said.
