West Java Governor KDM Explains Donation Mechanism Of IDR 1000 Per Day For Residents

BANDUNG - KDM as the Governor of West Java has discussed a donation policy of Rp1,000 per day for ASN in West Java. This program was initiated to realize the concept of residents helping residents.

"The Rp1,000 (regional) money will be held by the cash treasurer, right. Then for example, people come to complain again that waiting at the hospital need money to eat, or pay rent while waiting at the hospital, so just accept it, give it," said Dedi after attending the TNI's 80th Anniversary ceremony at Makodam III Siliwangi, Bandung, citing ANTARA, Sunday 5 October.

Later, RT/RW is projected to have cash that can be used to help residents. Like when there are residents who want to go to the hospital, but do not have a fee, they can come to the RT for assistance.

"At my place every night the patrol was a thousand rupiah, it was collected and it did not become a problem for people's lives there, so it became finished," he said.

This policy that carries the concept of togetherness, expressed by Dedi, adopted from the jimpitan rereongan program or a piece of rice when he became Regent of Purwakarta.

The program, he said, was successful, where the Education Office in Purwakarta Regency prepares several tons of rice every month sent to certain villages. "This is successful," he said.

As for the school level, Dedi emphasized that this is not a school levy, because in this program school children are directed to collect donations every day in the classroom treasurer.

Later this money will be used, such as if there are classmates who are sick to visit and help with treatment.

"Then if his classmate, for example, doesn't have a uniform, his parents can't afford it, he's given it. That's how it is," he said.

When asked whether the level of implementation of this program is mandatory or not, Dedi emphasized that this program is voluntary.

"For those who want to give it, please, those who don't, that's okay," he said.

Previously, West Java (Jabar) Governor Dedi Mulyadi issued a circular to encourage state civil servants (ASN), school students, and the public to donate Rp1,000 per day.

Circular number 149 / PMD.03.04 / KESRA concerning the Sapoe Sarebu Rereongan Movement (mother pole) or movement together a thousand day, seen in Bandung, Friday (3/10), is aimed at regents and mayors throughout West Java, heads of OPD from provinces to cities and regencies, as well as all Regional Offices of the Ministry of Religion West Java.

In the circular, which was made on October 1, 2025, Dedi noted that he referred to government regulation number 39 of 2012 concerning the implementation of social welfare that people have a role in improving people's welfare through the noble values of national culture, social solidarity and local wisdom.

Dedi wrote, in this regard, in order to increase social solidarity in the lives of the community, nation and state. As well as an effort to strengthen the fulfillment of the basic rights of the community in the field of education and health which are still constrained by budget constraints and access.
