JAKARTA - Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani Indrawati was furious to see videos and photos of the Director General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) Suryo Utomo and a number of employees of the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) riding large motorbikes or big motorbikes viral on social media (medsos).
Through his personal account @smindrawati, the Minister of Finance wrote that in the past few days various print and online media photos and news of the Director General of Taxes Suryo Utomo driving a Gede Motor (MoGe) with the BlastingRijder DGT club, namely the tax employee community who likes to ride big motorbikes.
Sri Mulyani meminta agar klub moge BlastingRijder DJP diberbarkan karena menimbulkan persepsi negatif masyarakat dan menimbulkan persyatan sumber kekayaan pegawai DJP.
"I conveyed instructions to the Director General of Taxes so that the BlastingRijder DJP club was dissolved," Sri Mulyani was quoted as saying on her personal Instagram account on Sunday, February 26.
The Director General of Taxes and employees of the Directorate General of Taxes drive a viral motorbike widely circulated on Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, and Instagram accounts.
In the photo that is spread across the timeline, Suryo Utomo does not comply with traffic rules by not wearing mandatory helmets.
Civil servants of the Directorate General of Motorcyclist Tax, including motorbikes, are members of a community called Dozensing Rijder. Meanwhile, Belating Rijder also has several branches in a number of areas.
Sri Mulyani said the hobby and lifestyle of driving motorbikes by tax directors of the Directorate General gave rise to a negative perception of society.
"This raises suspicions about the source of the wealth of DGT employees," said Sri Mulyani.
Sri Mulyani also asked the Director General of Taxes to explain and convey to the public about the amount of her assets.
"Where did the source come from as reported in the LHKPN (State Administrators Wealth Report)," said Sri Mulyani.
Although the moge was obtained and purchased with halal money and official salary, Sri Mulyani emphasized that driving and showing off motorbikes for tax officials/employees and the Ministry of Finance had violated the principles of propriety and public appropriateness.
"This injures people's trust," said Sri Mulyani.
Currently, the Ministry of Finance is being highlighted because of the case of David's beating by Mario Dandy Satriyo by the son of the Head of the General Section of the South Jakarta DGT II Regional Office, Rafael Alun Trisambodo (RAT).

At the same time, Rafael is also considered to have unnatural assets with a value of Rp 56 billion. This also affects the credibility of DGT in the eyes of the public.
