Head of the Department of Licensing, Special Inspection and Quality Control of Insurance, Guarantees and Pension Funds OJK Asep Iskandar said that since the revocation of this license, shareholders, directors, board of commissioners, and employees of PT Berdikari Insurance are prohibited from transferring, pledging, pledging or using assets, or taking other actions that can reduce assets or lower the value of the insurance company's assets.
