JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Honorary Court of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Habiburokhman, approved the idea that poor families who are online gamblers may receive social assistance from the government. According to him, there should be no difference in treatment of poor families just because of the factors causing poverty. Because poverty can be caused by anything, including online gambling.
Habiburokhman said the main requirement for receiving social assistance is poverty. Even though he is poor for playing online gambling, if he is categorized as poor, then he deserves to receive social assistance. However, it is different with Rieke Diah Pitaloka, Deputy Chairman of Commission VIII DPR RI. According to him, victims of online gambling cannot simply get social assistance from the government.
Rieke said that online gambling victims who have the right to receive social assistance are those whose identities are recorded in the Integrated Social Welfare Data or DTKS. The DTKS will be a poverty gauge parameter, not a variable loss to online gambling. Diah assessed that the steps to overcome online gambling are more important to do than providing social assistance.
Previously, the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Muhadjir Effendy, emphasized that one of the targets who received social assistance was victims of online gambling. The victims of online gambling in question are those who are affected by losses such as children, wives, or husbands. Not the perpetrators who play online gambling. Watch the video below.
