It is said that the salary of the Indonesian president will increase drastically from only Rp. 62 million to Rp. 553 million. The information circulating stated that this increase was conveyed by the Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform. However, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, as quoted by Antara, said that until now there has been no and there has been no discussion about the increase in the President's salary. His party has never discussed the increase in the president's salary. "It doesn't exist, and it has never been discussed," said Mulyani when answering reporters' questions at a press conference at the Bogor presidential palace, Monday (12/3). Meanwhile, regarding the information from the Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform which mentioned the increase in the president's salary, Sri Mulyani emphasized that it was a hoax. "It's a hoax, because there are a lot of social media that produce information, make documents that are made similar to those of the government that are published. So we have no discussion about it, absolutely nothing," said Mulyani. Previously, news circulated that the president's basic salary, which is only around Rp. 30 million per month, is currently considered very small and is planning to increase it to Rp. 553 million per month. The simulation of the change in salary provisions for the president appeared in the RPP on the Salary and Allowances for Civil Servants (PNS) which was circulated recently. In the RPP, in addition to the president, the vice president and other high-ranking state officials will also experience a salary increase
