Ramai Dikritik Soal Bansos untuk Kasus Judi Online, Muhadjir Angkat Bicara

"Many Criticized About Social Assistance for Online Gambling Cases, Muhadjir Speaks Up"

Dream - Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture (Menko PMK) Muhadjir Effendy clarified the statement regarding online gambling victims receiving social assistance (bansos). According to him, there is a mistaken interpretation that has caused controversy in society.

"So I have observed the reactions from the community regarding my proposal, later those who become victims of online gambling can receive specific social assistance. I understand, from the public opinion, there are some people who perceive the victims of online gambling as perpetrators."

The text in 'Bahasa' translates to: "Muhadjir's words were quoted from merdeka.com, Monday, June 17, 2024."

Muhadjir explained, it must be distinguished beforehand that the perpetrator in this case is the player. According to him, many consider the gamblers as the ones who will receive assistance, thus causing misleading (misconception).

"So it's not like that, according to the Indonesian Penal Code Article 303 and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law of 2008 Article 27, gambling is a criminal act, therefore both the players and the dealers are lawbreakers and must be dealt with, and that is the main task of the cyber task force in suppressing online gambling."

"ucapnya" translates to "he/she said."

"Who is the Victim of Online Gambling?"

Muhadjir emphasized that the victims of online gambling are those who are not the perpetrators. Instead, they are the families or individuals closest to the gamblers who suffer from material, financial, and psychological losses. He reminded that they are the ones who will later be included in the group of society receiving social assistance.

"They who are underprivileged, if they are the ones who lose their possessions, lose their livelihoods or experience psychological trauma, if they are in the form of a family. So once again, family, and if the family falls into poverty, that is who will receive social assistance."

He said.

According to Muhadjir, poor families are the responsibility of the state, in accordance with the policy of the Constitution Article 34 paragraph 1 that the poor and abandoned children are taken care of by the state. Therefore, poor people are not only victims of online gambling.

"“All poor people are the responsibility of the state to be given assistance and it will then be processed, also checked against the standards, whether the criteria match those set by the Ministry of Social Affairs, then there will be verification, if it is confirmed that they have indeed become poor due to online gambling, then they will be eligible for social assistance,”"

"tuturnya." would be translated to "he/she said."

"\u201cSo don't imagine that gamblers are constantly poor and immediately receive social assistance, it's not like that,\u201d he emphasized."
