Agus Salim Refuses Rp 13 Billion Donation for Lewotobi Tsunami Victims
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Korban penyiraman air keras, Agus Salim, through his attorney Marlina, rejected a plan to donate Rp 13 billion to Lewotobi tsunami victims in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). According to Marlina, Agus has not yet received the donation, which has been accumulating in a foundation for some time.
"We strongly reject this donation handover. If legally, the money is not Agus’ right, he is fine with it. But if it is his right, he will not give up his claim on the worldly life," Marlina said at Alvin Lim’s funeral home in Grand Heaven, Pluit, North Jakarta, on Monday (6/1/2025).
Agus Salim also expressed his disappointment with the plan. "I’m disappointed. Initially, it was agreed that the money would be given to me, but now suddenly it’s going to be redirected to Lewotobi," said Agus.
The Rp 13 billion donation has become a subject of controversy for several months. Previously, Denny Sumargo’s YouTube channel announced plans to redirect the donation to Lewotobi victims, a decision made by Novi and Gerry Julian, chairman of Yayasan Rumah Peduli Kemanusiaan.
