TRIBUN-VIDEO.COM - The admission by Abdimaludin, the Head of the Student Executive Board (BEM) of the Faculty of Law at Bung Karno University (UBK), that he received Rp 20 million after a demonstration and meeting with Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, is now sparking controversy. Regarding the controversy, Vice President Gibran is deemed necessary to provide clarification. Communication expert Emrus Sihombing, when contacted on Tuesday (June 23, 2026), stated that Gibran's clarification is crucial to end the growing speculation in the public sphere. Emrus stated that the public has the right to know the full picture of an event that is public knowledge. Regarding Abdi's admission that he received funds after the demonstration, Emrus stated that an in-depth investigation is necessary. The investigation is to determine who provided the money. Emrus also emphasized the importance of transparency from all parties involved in this controversy. UBK is currently investigating the series of events involving its students. However, the university has not yet found sufficient grounds to conclude a direct link between the alleged flow of funds and the audience at the Vice President's Palace. This was stated by UBK Vice Rector III, Daniel Panda, in an exclusive interview with Tribunnews on Tuesday (June 23, 2026). However, Daniel revealed that as the student group was moving from the Farmers Monument to the next protest location, they were contacted by the Vice President's staff. The communication offered a dialogue regarding a meeting between the vice president and the students. After further communication, the two parties finally agreed to a meeting at the Vice President's Palace. Daniel emphasized that the university cannot yet confirm whether this communication is related to the alleged funding previously received by Abdi. Therefore, this aspect is still part of the university's internal investigation team's investigation. If the investigation reveals any violations, the university will impose sanctions in accordance with applicable regulations. In a press conference at the UBK campus in Jakarta on Tuesday (June 23, 2026), Daniel stated that the Rp 20 million was received through an alumni member and handed over by a police officer. Muhammad Abdimaludin recently admitted his mistake and apologized. The apology was addressed to all UBK students, activists, the rector and campus leaders, the media, and the wider public. Abdi also stated that he was ready to take responsibility for his actions and would act cautiously.
