TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The acting head of Jakarta Tourism and Culture Agency, Asiantoro, detailed the sponsor funds worth Rp70 million received by the artist-turned-activist Ratna Sarumpaet who recently named as the suspect of a hoax case.
“The flight ticket is Rp50,380,000, daily cost Rp19,857,000, and insurance Rp526,000,” said Asiantoro to reporters on Tuesday, October 8.
Asiantoro said Ratna Sarumpaet is required to return the money to Jakarta Provincial Administration as the trip to Chile, South America had already been canceled. The Jakarta Administration Bureau is currently assessing the money she must return.
According to Asiantoro, the administration bureau would account the money based on the amount of the refund ticket. “We don’t know the exact amount [of the refund ticket]. We’ll wait for the process,” he said.
