Apart from the three categories of vulnerable groups, the provision of social assistance will be limited. For the time being a maximum of five years,' he said.

Previously, the Head of the Poverty Reduction Acceleration Agency (BP Taskin) Budiman Sudjatmiko suggested that social assistance should only be given to vulnerable poor people, such as the elderly, disabled, and ODGJ.
Budiman revealed the proposal in response to the phenomenon of misuse of social assistance for online gambling or judol.
"The social assistance should only be for the elderly, who may be disabled, maybe the ODGJ, right?" he said when met in Jakarta, last week.
He emphasized that the poor who are physically still strong must be empowered so that they are free from poverty with the strength they have.
In this effort, his party has formulated a Master Plan for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction, which includes nine approaches in the context of accelerating poverty alleviation in Indonesia.
