200 thousand recipients of the Judol who play social assistance were crossed, the legislature asked for an approach

Jakarta – The Ministry of Social Affairs (Ministry of Social Affairs) said that as many as 200 thousand households (KK) recipients of social assistance online gambling (Judol) were crossed as recipients. The DPR Commission VIII member Selly Andriany Gantina said this step needed an approach. “Data control is definitely important, so help is right. But steps like massage cannot be taken reactive. There must be a fair and human approach,” Selly told reporters on Friday (1/8/2025). Browse to continue the content, he asked the government to continue to provide education. Although not justifying, people are forced to play Judol because they want to come out of poverty. “In fact, many residents are trapped in online gambling, not due to a consuming lifestyle, but due to economic pressure. There is gambling to eat that day or pay for children’s schools. It is a bitter reality that cannot be ignored,” he said. “Therefore, the state must give warnings, financial education and coaching before it protrudes. Don’t be decided immediately without a solution. The community must be helped from the poverty circle, not just abandoned,” he added. Furthermore, Selly also asked the government to close access to the root of the problem, namely online gambling sites and illegal loans. As long as this access is still open, he said the intersection of social assistance will only be a pseudo solution. “The PDI -P faction always stands on the little Wong -side. We reject the abuse of help, but we also reject the approach that punishes without recovering. The state must be present, not only to decide help but also open hope,” he said. The Ministry of Social Affairs expressed 200 thousand kk for playing Judol. The step was performed based on the results of the data of the Social Assistance data with Judol’s indicated accounts. “Yes, so we really came to PPATK with the consent of the president. We submit all accounts that received social assistance through the Ministry of Social Affairs. There is 30 million nothing we present,” Social Minister Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul) told reporters on Tuesday (29/7). From there, 600 KK found data recipients of social assistance played by Judol. So far, Gus Ipul has said that there were 200 thousand households crossed from the recipients of social assistance. “It was crazy with over 9 million Nik Judol players. Meet over 600 thousand nothing that presumably played Judol from the recipient of the social matters. Of the 600 thousand, over 200 thousand that we did not provide social assistance again,” he said.
