Where have all the stickers gone?

From Kompas

I am a telephone subscriber who will pay an additional Rp 1,000, from May to October 1997, for the coming SEA Games event. This means that subscribers will be charged an additional Rp 6,000 over subsequent months.

Unlike past events, this time, collections will be made in combination with telephone bills, based on a Social Ministry ruling, SK Mensos No. BBS/826/III/97 dated March 11, 1997. If the appeal was previously for voluntary donations, it now has a compulsory tone to it. Telephone customers have no option, it has become a duty.

But when I settled my bill through Bank BNI 1946 Tebet branch, I did not receive my sticker. Now, if 100,000 customers did not receive their stickers, wouldn't there be a possibility that these stickers could be resold for the same value, Rp 100,000? In six months, the amount would have accumulated to Rp 600,000, and if there were no more customers, one can draw their own conclusion.

So, where have all these paid stickers gone? Maybe Telkom has the answer.
