REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - Ministry of Home Affairs claimed that they have data related to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) received funds from foreign institutions with hidden purposes. While other NGOs or organizations become institutions for money laundering.

"We've got the data about NGOs receiving funds from foreign agencies and some of them were indicated to do money laundering," Advisor to Minister of Home Affairs  for Political, Legal and Inter-Institutional Relations, Reydonnizar Moenek said on Monday.

Moreover, the bill of Mass Organizations has been passed into law by the House of Representatives on Tuesday last week. Therefore, Ministry of Home Affairs was ready to cooperate with law enforcement agencies to uncover the secret of NGOs.

However, Moenek was reluctant to disclose data related to the number of NGOs or organizations receiving funds from foreign institutions and which became shelters of money laundering. 

Any organization or NGO is required to inform their sources of funds to government. Organizations funded by foreign sources must explain the importance and mechanism of delivery of its donors. In addition, the forms of accountability of receipt of foreign funds should also be published. Moenek considered that organizations or NGOs receiving foreign funds should be questioned whether the interests were also related to high domestic and nationality.
