Jakarta - The National Police has asked the public to report if they find the practice of requesting Eid al-Fitr allowances (THR) by members of community organizations (Ormas) which are considered disturbing ahead of the Eid al-Fitr celebration.
"If there are certain organizations or groups that claim to ask for THR or assistance in paying dues to local residents, please contact and submit number 110. We have a hotline 110," said Head of Public Relations of the National Police, Inspector General Johnny Eddizon Isir, in the area of the Public Relations Division, National Police Headquarters, South Jakarta, Wednesday, March 11, 2026.
According to him, requests for assistance or donations can basically occur if they are made voluntarily. However, if the request causes interference or is done forcefully, the public can report it to the police.
"In principle, it is part of generosity if someone wants to help. But if he is disturbed, please report it through the 110 hotline," he said.
Jhonny explained that the police would prioritize pre-emptive steps by giving advice to parties who make donation requests so as not to cause unrest in the community.
"Some activities that take the form of pre-emptive, meaning that we appeal if there is a letter and so on and it is felt to be disturbing, we appeal not to do it," he said.
However, the police have not ruled out taking legal enforcement measures if the practice is carried out in a structured manner and is proven to be disturbing the community.
"If later it is structured and disturbing, it is not impossible that we will take legal enforcement options. But that is the last," said Jhonny.
He again reminded the public not to hesitate to use the 110 emergency service if they need police assistance during the homecoming and Lebaran celebrations.
