YOGYAKARTA The public again highlighted the figure of the Regent of the Meranti Islands Muhammad Adil. The controversy over the Regent of Meranti, who is now widely discussed, is when he mentions that the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) contains demons.

The Meranti Regent's statement was expressed when the National Coordination Meeting for Regional Revenue and Expenditure Management throughout Indonesia, Thursday, December 8.

Apart from his latest statement, the Regent of Meranti was noted to have been highlighted by the media for several things that also sparked debate. Some of the controversies related to Muhammad Adil are as follows.

One of the controversy between the Regent of Meranti is that he reported one of the Facebook accounts named Firmansyah Alexander to the Meranti Police. The account wrote the status uploaded on September 3, 2021. In the upload, a photo of Regent Adil standing on the pulpit, and a photo of a man in a brown uniform standing behind the Regent appears.

Firmansyah's account highlighted security personnel at the official regional government event which should have been the main task force for Satpol PP, but was actually carried out by Banser.

"Banser of Meranti's Best Ormas Elite," wrote the account in its upload.

"There is another issue that is excited, a mass organization called Banser is the security guard at the regional government's official event. Where the task should be the main task of Satpol PP," wrote Firmansyah.

Shortly after, Adil immediately reported the account owner. The report was also confirmed by the Meranti Police Chief AKBP Andi Yul.

The Regent of Meranti Adil also reaped the spotlight because he was deemed to have refused a working visit from the Governor of Riau Syamsuar to the Meranti Islands last October.

Quoted from Antara, Syamsuar at that time planned to conduct akunker to BUMDESMA Rumbio Nusa Mandiri, which is on Jalan Karet Dusun II, Bagan Melibur Village, Merbau District, Meranti Islands Regency. Unfortunately, the event, which was originally held on Friday, October 14, was canceled due to a refusal from the Regent of the Meranti Islands Muhammad Adil.

Regent Adil also became a conversation because Adil and his staff did not fulfill the invitation to the coordination meeting of regional heads throughout Riau Province on November 8 at the Grand Central Hotel Pekanbaru. Even though the event was chaired by the Minister of Home Affairs, Tito Karnavian.

Quoted from mediacenter.riau.go.id, Minister of Home Affairs Tito then questioned the reason for the absence of Regent Adil. He even questioned why not a single representative was sent.

"I don't know if I'm not present. Later I will check the governor's office, I will also ask Inspector General Tomsi to check why he (the Regent of Meranti, ed) is not present. We have ethics in the government. If there is a Minister of Home Affairs here as a supervisor and supervisor of the local government, it should be present," said Tito.

The absence of Regent Adil in a coordination meeting with the Minister of Home Affairs, Tito Karnavian in Pekanbaru, was attended by the sub-district and village heads. This happened because previously the Regent of Adil even forbade the sub-district and village heads to attend the coordination meeting.

"Yes, the direction is like that (the sub-district and village heads are prohibited from attending by the regent)," said the Head of Public Relations and Protocol of the Meranti Islands Regency Government, Yusran, quoted from Detik.

In addition to reporting the owner of Firmansyah Alexander's Facebook account, he has also reported Irwan Nasir to the police. Irwan is the Regent of Meranti who served for two terms, namely 2010-2015 and 2016-2021. In his report, Adil was said to have refused because his good name was defamed by Irwan Nasir, Monday, November 21.

"Our complaint to the Resort Police is on suspicion of slander and defamation of IN (Irwan Nasir) in the WAG upload 'Throughout Pekanbaru'," said Adil's lawyer, Al Azhar Yusuf.

Adil himself is said to have embezzled mosque funds and cattle assistance intended for the community. However, the allegations were not explained.
