JAKARTA - Member of Commission II of the DPR from the PKB faction, Indrajaya, said that the proposed extension of ASN's retirement to the age of 70 should be taken seriously. According to him, if ASN retires at the age of 70, it will disrupt the meritocracy system.
Indrajaya revealed that Commission II in charge of government and personnel issues plans to hold a meeting to discuss the issue. He emphasized that there must be a comprehensive study involving all stakeholders, because the background of ASN from all fields and each field has their own work specifications.
"Involve all regional heads because the needs of each region are different. The extension of retirement age must have a negative impact, especially disturbances in the meritocracy system to obtain superior human resources in terms of physical ability, creativity, and productivity," said Indrajaya, Wednesday, May 28.
The PKB legislator from the South Papua electoral district mentioned the negative impact of retiring 70 years. According to him, a decrease in ASN productivity will definitely occur, because the age of 70 years is part of the elderly (elderly).
"The increasing human age will also definitely reduce physical and mental abilities which will definitely reduce productivity and quality of work," explained Indrajaya.
According to Indrajaya, if the retirement age gets older, the queue or opportunity for the younger generation to get the opportunity to contribute to this country will be further away. In addition, said Indrajaya, the health cost for the elderly will obviously be higher.

"This is not discrimination against parents, because parents must have more exemplary, skills, exemplary. But this actually gives parents the opportunity to enjoy their services for their performance," he said.
In Javanese philosophy, added Indrajaya, the age of 70 has an important meaning, namely as an age that marks that a person has entered a golden age or "wewayah". At this age, the Javanese are believed to have achieved deep wisdom, experience, and patience.
Therefore, Indrajaya assessed, the proposed retirement period needs to be studied in depth. In addition to adding long queues for the younger generation to have a career, he said, the budget swelling will also be extraordinary.
"Of course it would be very unfair if this extension of age would reduce the quota for ASN or state officials every year," concluded Indrajaya.
