The facts
There is no record of Megawati rejecting the bill, which PPATK first proposed in 2008 and which stalled across three presidencies. Former minister Mahfud MD said Megawati told him she supported asset forfeiture but feared police and prosecutors could abuse it for extortion if applied immediately, and a PDI-P campaign official said in 2023 that the party backed the bill but saw loose articles.
