TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - He is known in the news as the owner of Mustika Dutamas, which imported weapons for the National Police Headquarters. However, the son of Sinar Mas Group owner Eka Tjipta Widjaja denied as much. "My younger sister was once at Dutamas," he said to Rusman Paraqbueq, Anton Septian, and Wayan Agus Purnomo from Tempo on Friday last week at his office in the Capitol Building, Slipi, West Jakarta. After an hour, the 60-year-old businessman explained his position in the weapons import confusion. Fenny Widjaja, his younger sister, later gave a written response.
It is said that you were behind the import of weapons by National Police Headquarters?
Those are rumors about me. I am not involved in this. I am also confused that I’m mentioned in these rumors.
But weapons are a part of your business as well, right?
