Slush fund is a colloquial term which has come to mean an auxiliary monetary account or a reserve fund. However, the term has special meaning within a context of corrupt (including but not limited to) political dealings by governments, large corporations or other bodies and individuals. Slush funds can have particular elements of illegality, illegitimacy, or secrecy in regard to the use of this money and the means by which the funds were acquired.

rekening “taktis”
It’s hard to differentiate between ‘fund’ and ‘funds’ in Indonesian. (The funds are in the fund but a fund may have no funds!) Therefore I have gone for ‘rekening’ and used speech marks around taktis to indicate that a special meaning is inferred.

: not sure about this term because it is more to the negative side only. where else, from explanation above, it is an auxiliary monetary account which has special meaning in special context. you can use this term in that context, but not for general context
