Cirebon OJK opens illegal investment complaint service during Ramadan

Cirebon (ANTARA) - The Cirebon Financial Services Authority (OJK) office, West Java, has opened a complaint and consultation service during Ramadan 2026 to anticipate the rise in fraudulent activities disguised as illegal investments, including those linked to an application called MBAstack Limited Company (MBA). The Head of the Cirebon OJK, Agus Muntholib, stated in Cirebon on Thursday that the service aims to ensure the public remains protected while carrying out their activities and observing the fast. He stated that every investment decision must be based on logic, the principle of prudence, and adequate verification of information. "The Cirebon OJK is very concerned about the alleged fraud (using the MBA application). We remind the public not to be easily tempted by promises of large profits in a short time without clear risks," he said. He explained that during Ramadan, people's economic needs typically increase, and this situation is often exploited by irresponsible parties to offer investments with unreasonable returns. According to him, the pattern of illegal investment offers has now transformed through digital platforms and applications, resulting in faster spread and cross-regional reach. Agus mentioned that in a number of cases, artificial intelligence (AI) technology is often used to manipulate presentations and testimonials to make offers appear convincing. "We remind you that legality and business logic must be the primary foundation. Even if the person inviting you is a public figure, the public is still obliged to verify. Trust should not override caution," he said. From January to February 13, 2026, the Cirebon OJK received 266 consultations and complaints from financial services consumers, with the majority of reports coming from the financial technology (fintech) sector, he explained. Of these, he said, 38 complaints related to alleged investment fraud or illegal investments. Agus said that during Ramadan, the public can contact the OJK at 157, WhatsApp at 081-157-157-157, access the official website, or visit the nearest OJK office to verify the legality of an entity and report suspected illegal financial activity. "We remind the public to recognize the characteristics of illegal investments, including promises of guaranteed and unreasonable profits in a short time, use of multi-level recruitment schemes without clear products or services, and lack of permits from the relevant authorities," he said.

West Java DPRD Drafts Environmental Bill, Promotes Sustainable Investment for Kuningan

The Provincial Legislative Council (DPRD) of West Java is currently deliberating a Regional Regulation (Raperda) on Environmental Protection and Management. The proposed regulation is expected to serve as a new legal framework for preserving the environment while ensuring that investment continues to grow without compromising ecosystems or the interests of local communities. Toto Suharto, a member of the West Java Provincial DPRD from the National Mandate Party (PAN), stated that the deliberation of the draft regulation represents a strategic step toward strengthening oversight of activities that have the potential to cause environmental degradation. According to him, West Java requires more adaptive regulations to ensure that economic development progresses in harmony with environmental conservation. He explained that the scope of the proposed regulation is comprehensive, covering spatial planning supervision, environmental management, and the regulation of Category C mining activities, which have frequently become a public concern."Through this new regulation, we want to ensure that the environment remains well protected. This includes Category C mining, which falls under the joint authority of the Environmental Agency and the Energy and Mineral Resources Agency. Any mining activities that damage river systems or cause environmental degradation must not be tolerated and should be subject to legal action," he said on Thursday (2 July). According to Toto, the future regional regulation will not only serve as a government oversight instrument but also protect the public's right to a healthy environment. He therefore encouraged residents to actively report any suspected pollution or environmentally harmful activities in their respective areas. "The primary function of a regional regulation is to protect and improve the welfare of the community—not to sacrifice the public interest," he emphasized. On another note, Toto also highlighted the West Java DPRD's policy direction regarding a more balanced distribution of investment across the province. He believes that Kuningan Regency, long recognized as a tourism buffer zone and an agricultural center, should begin attracting environmentally responsible industrial investment as a strategy to create more employment opportunities. He noted that the high unemployment rate remains a significant challenge that directly contributes to poverty. Therefore, investment should be encouraged as part of the solution, provided that it remains within a framework of strong environmental protection."We need to open opportunities for industrial development, but the industries must be environmentally friendly. Investment should never come at the expense of Kuningan's natural environment, which is one of the region's greatest assets," he said. As an example, Toto cited the presence of a South Korean footwear manufacturing plant in Kuningan Regency as a model of investment capable of generating economic benefits, provided that it fully complies with all Environmental Impact Assessment (AMDAL) requirements and does not cause environmental pollution. He stressed that sustainable investment is the key to achieving balanced economic growth while preserving the natural resources that underpin Kuningan's long-term development. [SOURCE]
