Controlling charity boxes without permission in Bangka Regency. BETWEEN

The joint team from the Bangka Belitung Islands Provincial Social Service, Social Service and the Bangka Regency Civil Service Police Unit control the charity box without permission entrusted by restaurants and other places. Secretary of the Bangka Regency Social Service, Achmad Suherman, said that the control of the charity box without a permit had to be carried out because it violated Regional Regulation (Perda) Number 6 of 2005 concerning public order. "As a result of controlling the joint team, we secured dozens of charity boxes without permission, including the contents or money in the box to be secured as evidence," he said through a statement on Sungailiat, Bangka, Antara, Tuesday, November 22. The regional regulation, he said, does not only apply to charity boxes that are entrusted but also to fundraising on the side of the road or other places that are not equipped with official permit documents. "It is known that the charity box that we secured was deliberately entrusted from outside the island of Bangka for construction activities for houses of worship and other reasons, even charity contacts that were deposited in several places", he explained. In principle, the government does not prohibit raising funds, but Achmad Suherman said it must be equipped with an official permit issued from the competent authority. "The funds that have been collected from the fundraising must be reported regularly, including reports of the flow of funds," he said. The enforcement of the regional regulation is to anticipate the use of flow of funds for things that violate the law and for personal interests by irresponsible people. In this regulation, it is emphasized that violators can be subject to witnesses with a maximum sentence of five months and a fine of Rp. 5 million. "I urge voters of restaurants, stalls or other places that will be deposited into charity boxes to first ensure that there is a completeness of official permits," he said.
