JAKARTA - The former Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia (RI), Jusuf Kalla said something quite surprising. He said that the Muslim economy was crippled, because out of 10 rich people, only one of them was Muslim.
The man who is familiarly called JK said this in front of the Minister of SOEs Erick Thohir in a gathering held by the National Assembly of the Alumni Corps of the Islamic Student Association (KAHMI), which was broadcast virtually, Monday, June 14 evening
"From an economic perspective, if there are 10 rich people, the highest is 1 Muslim. But if 100 people are poor, at least 90 people are poor. So our economic situation is crippled," said JK.
JK, who is the chairman of the Indonesian Mosque Council (DMI), also called on Muslims to emigrate. In this case, what JK means by hijrah is to jointly improve the country's economic conditions.
The reason, said JK, is that in this way the Indonesian economy can improve, which of course will have an impact on strengthening the economy of Muslims.

"Because if the national economy is 99 percent prosperous, the people will also be prosperous," he said.
Furthermore, this man from South Sulawesi said, Indonesia should not lack infrastructure to advance the level of the economy. As a country with the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia has at least 4,000 universities which are a prerequisite for economic improvement.
Moreover, according to him, education infrastructure continues to improve from time to time. Therefore, he said, high enthusiasm is needed from all Indonesian people to jointly lift the country's economy while at the same time rising during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"In the past, when students could fight with high spirits, high activism, now in the professional field and economics, of course also with enthusiasm," he concluded.
