JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir deserves to be considered as a vice presidential candidate in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres). He is considered a figure close to the Islamic boarding school and its students. Coordinator of the South Sulawesi Development Study Institute, Hasbi Londang, said Erick was known as a member of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU). In fact, he became a member of the honorary Barisan Ansor Multipurpose (Banser). "In addition, he is heavily involved with the Islamic boarding school and students program," Hasbi said in a written statement, Monday, December 5. Erick is also known to care about the interests of the people. One proof is that he built the At Thohir Mosque in Los Angeles, United States. Next, Erick is considered capable of carrying out his job as Minister of SOEs. He succeeded in increasing the net profit of SOEs and was able to combine a number of SOEs into holdings in 2021. The Ministry of SOEs also recorded the highest score in its history for the Merit System for State Civil Apparatus (ASN) and was ranked by the best Ministry and Government Institutions. "Another monumental achievement that Erick Thohir managed to design was his success in merging state-owned Islamic banks into an entity called Bank Syariah Indonesia or BSI," said Hasbi. According to him, BSI has now emerged to be one of the largest banks in Indonesia, especially getting closer to becoming a global player after opening a representative office in Dubai. Hasbi also said that Erick had done a lot, such as combining four SOEs into one Pelindo, and being one of the largest container terminal operators in the world. "This merger also aims to increase connectivity and efficiency in order to reduce national logistics costs in an effort to further encourage the competitiveness of the Indonesian industrial sector," he explained. In addition, this efficiency and professionalism is realized by achieving Unqualified Opinions (WTP) on Financial Reports from the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK). This step is considered because Erick applies the values of Trustworth, Competent, Harmonious, Loyal, Adaptive, and Collaborative (AKHLAK). "AKHLAK is the main basis in the principles of good corporate governance (GCG) in SOEs," concluded Hasbi.
