BGN: Registration has closed, be aware of the sale and purchase of SPPG points

JAKARTA - The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) confirmed that registration as a partner of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) Program has been closed and asked the public to be aware of the temptation to buy and sell the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG) by individuals who ask for certain fees.

"Now the system is closed, therefore, be aware of people who say they can still register because we can drop it directly. I once received a video of someone spreading information that the selling point was Rp200 million. So I saw directly how much the ID was, drop (drop) so that people who have paid will lose," said Deputy Chairman of BGNSonySanjaya as reported by ANTARA, Friday, March 6.

Sony asks people who receive the lure to immediately report to BGN so that it can be followed up immediately.

"Report the person who asked for the money. When I have the evidence and supporting documents, it turns out that this SPPG point is the result of a sale and purchase, yes I will lower it, so to the people who asked for the money, please take responsibility," he said.

He emphasized that for every point that is lowered, it will automatically not be verified and canceled by BGN, so that the prospective partner will be blocked from the partner system. bgn.go.id.

BGN will also take firm action against SPPG individuals who pretend to be deceived when building kitchens to serve the MBG Program.

"There is a modus operandi of pretending to build first, then pretending to be cheated so that you are sure to be verified, but there are also those who are really cheated, like yesterday someone came to me, 'Sir, I was cheated, my kitchen is already done, but I was cheated, it didn't go into the system.' Then I asked, who is the cheater? If there is, report it, I want to know to distinguish between the modus and the right one," he explained.

Sony explained that when a prospective partner was asked who the scammer was but refused to answer, it could be assumed that it was only a method to get verification from BGN.

"If he doesn't want to answer, or says, 'Yes, it is, sir,' that is, then of course the modus, but if the person is really cheated, now the report has been accepted by the police, it is clear who the scammer is, soon it may be aired who the scammer is, because at least one person has Rp. 100 million in losses," he said.

Sony emphasized that BGN has closed the SPPG registration because it has met the quota to serve the MBG Program. To date, there have been more than 24 thousand SPPGs standing up across Indonesia.
