"400 Thousand ASN Classified as 'Poor', Ministry of Home Affairs: Income Below Rp7 Million Can Receive Zakat"

"Dream - The Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) has recorded around 400 thousand civil servants (ASN) consisting of State Civil Servants (PNS) and Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK) who fall into the category of low-income communities (MBR)."

400 Thousand ASN Enter 'Poor' Category, Ministry of Home Affairs: Income Below Rp7 Million Can Receive Zakat

Secretary General of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Suhajar Diantoro noted that this figure represents 10 percent of all ASN in Indonesia, which totals 4.2 million.

"To be noted, MBR itself refers to the community that has limited purchasing power, thus requiring government support to obtain housing. “Out of 4.2 million (civil servants), we must understand that there are still our civil servants (PNS) who are considered as low-income communities, MBR,” said Suhajar, quoted from TASPEN's YouTube, Sunday, January 28, 2024."

Suhajar added that the reason for the ASN to fall into the MBR category is that they meet a number of indicators classified as poor communities.

For example, ASN whose income is below Rp 7 million per month is often found in group II. "If it is below Rp 7 million, there is now a limit for zakat recipients. People with what income are considered zakat recipients. It turns out that civil servants in group II are eligible to receive zakat," he said.

According to Suhajar, poverty indicators can be seen from income, and then the size of the house.

“Kan the poverty indicator is first, the income, how much is the income. Then, the house, how many square meters? It turns out that if you have a category II job as a driver, can you really (have) a type 100 (square meter) house? Just started working, maybe a type 27 (square meter) house, one wife two children, the house should be above 32 square meters,”

The translation of "katanya" to English is "he said" or "they said."

               

"Suhajar explained that ASN who can be categorized as MBR also includes those who are married and have an income below Rp 8 million per month."

“Even with an income of Rp 8 million, if he is married and his wife does not work, he may not have enough to support a decent life for his family. Something like that. But this does not include employee spending, right? If he has access to employee spending, not everyone has access to that,”

The translation of "tuturnya." to English is "his/her speech."

               

The translation of "Penjelasan Lengkap dalam Video" to English is "Complete Explanation in the Video".
