JAKARTA: Vice president-elect and former mayor of Surakarta Gibran Rakabuming Raka (pic) denied on Tuesday (Sept 10) that e-commerce giant Shopee provided a jet ride for his younger brother Kaesang Pangarep as a favour in return for a deal struck between the Central Java city and the Singapore-based company.
Gibran said there was nothing improper about the deal, which centered on the setting up of a gaming center and an office in Surakarta, and that it had gone through a thorough vetting process.
