Where does National Games money go?

Where does National Games money go?

From Kompas

For more than six months I have been burdened with having to pay an extra Rp 500 for a National Games sticker when I go to pay my PLN electricity bill every month at the BRI bank branch in Cibubur. The bank tellers demand the Rp 500 because they say they have been instructed by the head office to collect the payment, which supposedly goes toward this year's National Games.

I have no objection to raising funds for sports development, but why must it be continuous and through state-owned electricity company PLN?

Suppose PLN has five million users, it would then collect Rp 2.5 billion monthly. The stickers bear no serial numbers, so how can one determine how much money has been collected? How does the control system work?

One grows more suspicious due to the absence of news on the subject. There was a story once about someone who donated Rp 300 million to the National Games through Telkom, but why has there never been any news about the contributions from electricity and telephone users?

A law should be passed requiring all corporations and institutions that ask for contributions to make public the amount of money they collect. It is not too late for PLN and Telkom to announce how much they have collected through monthly bill payments.
