SOLO - The Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) handed over a new identity card (KTP) to representatives from 20 Trust Impact organizations in the Spiritual Cultural Festival held in Surakarta, Central Java.

Director General of Culture of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Hilmar Farid, said that in the new KTP given to the Trustees, it was written that Trust in God Almighty in the religious column.

"There has been a decision by the Constitutional Court (MK) in 2016 to ensure that there is a confidence column in the ID card," he said at the Opening of the Spiritual Cultural Festival at the Surakarta City Hall, Central Java, as reported by ANTARA Monday, July 18.

Hilmar said that the provision of this ID card was a step to provide constitutional rights for Trust Invitators which had actually been determined through the Constitutional Court Decision No. 97/PUU-XIV/2016.

Constitutional Court Decision Number 97/PUU-XIV/2016 concerning the Judicial Review of the Population Administration Law allows adherents of the flow of trust to include their beliefs in religious columns on family cards (KK) and ID cards.

Hilmar said that the Constitutional Court's decision had also been followed up by the Ministry of Education and Culture regarding the certainty of educational services for Trust Invitators through the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture Number 27 of 2016.

Meanwhile, he said the reason for establishing Surakarta as a city for the delivery of a new KTP for Trust Inflictors was because according to the Segara Institute, this city was among the front ones in prioritizing tolerance.

"So we are very grateful and hope that what has happened can shed light on other parts of Indonesia," he said.

Director of Trust in God Almighty (YME) and the Indigenous Community of the Directorate General of Culture of the Ministry of Education and Culture Sjamsul Hadi said that until now there are 177 Trust Inflictive organizations with 1,000 branches spread across 17 provinces in Indonesia.

"This is an individual prerogative (to get a Trust Impact ID card). They automatically take care of each Department of Population and Civil Registration Administration (Dukcapil Service)," said Sjamsul.

He explained that the submission of ID cards at the Spiritual Cultural Festival was proof from the government to adherents of the Trust Impact that they were truly recognized.

We want to build their confidence. At first, he was hesitant to change his ID card from religion to a new one, with this festival he was more confident," he said.

Deputy Governor of Central Java Taj Yasin Maimoen also encouraged other cities in Central Java to be like Surakarta and Salatiga who are full of tolerance so that they are able to provide space to all religions and beliefs protected by law.

"This is the right and obligation of the government to provide space for all religions and beliefs that have been regulated," said Gus Yasin.

One of the recipients of this new KTP is Tri Suseno, a 43-year-old Surakarta resident who represents Sapta Darma's Trust Inflictor.

Tri hopes that the provision of this ID card can increase the confidence of Trustees after previously they had to empty the information in the religious column on their ID cards because they were forced to choose one of the six recognized religions in Indonesia.

To the residents of Penghayat to appear as it is. Instead of writing Islam but in the caption (the nickname of) Islam, the KTP will actually hurt the feelings of fellow Muslims. I suggest to appear confident, if you are ready, please (make an ID Card that Makes a Trust Impact," he said.
