Agus Salim's Donation Money Distributed to Natural Disaster Victims in Lewotobi, Check Out the Full Facts

Kapanlagi.com - The long-standing controversy regarding the donation fund of Rp 1.3 billion for Agus Salim, a victim of acid attack, has finally found a positive resolution. The funds originally allocated for Agus Salim's treatment are now redirected to assist natural disaster victims in Lewotobi, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). This step was taken after involving various parties, including popular YouTuber Pratiwi Noviyanthi and Denny Sumargo.

This decision was reached through mediation that brought together Pratiwi, Denny, the Chairman of the Humanity Care Foundation, Gerry Julian, and the legal representatives of the donors, Pablo Benua. In the meeting, they agreed that the funds would be more beneficial if channeled to the natural disaster victims who are in urgent need of assistance.

As summarized by Kapanlagi.com from various sources, this policy emerged after Agus Salim was deemed not to show good faith in continuing the treatment that had previously been provided. This agreement also received support from the donors, represented by their legal counsel, as the best solution to end the heated controversy.

1. Initial Fundraising for Agus Salim

Through Denny Sumargo's YouTube channel, an extraordinary donation of Rp1.3 billion was successfully raised after Pratiwi Noviyanthi shared the touching story of Agus Salim, who needed funds for eye surgery and skin treatment due to acid burns. However, as time went on, it was revealed that part of the funds was used to pay off family debts, sparking heated debates in the community.

To maintain transparency, Pratiwi withheld the remaining funds in the account of the Humanitarian Care House Foundation to ensure their use aligns with noble purposes. Unfortunately, despite the foundation offering treatment opportunities multiple times, Agus Salim has yet to take advantage of this valuable chance.

2. Disputes and Legal Claims

Tensions escalated in the legal world when Agus Salim, through his famous lawyer, Farhat Abbas, took a bold step by suing Pratiwi Noviyanthi in court.

On the other hand, the Humanitarian Care House Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that the collected funds are used for social purposes, not to meet Agus Salim's personal needs unrelated to medical treatment.
