Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Muhadjir Effendy said that the eradication of online or online gambling will involve religious figures in order to provide more massive socialization and education to the public.
"This has moved, yesterday I also invited here for religious figures. We will continue in more detail with several institutions, it is possible that later I will have an audience with the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), the mosque council, and bishops. I am designing this, if there is time I will really ensure that this prevention process not only blocks gambling offline sites, but also provides awareness to the public to stay away from gambling," Muhadjir said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, July 1.
He emphasized that related to social assistance to victims of gambling, it will be given to people who suffer losses, both materially, financially, and psychosocially.
"What is clear will be given to those who are harmed, if the definition is the victim, there are those who suffer losses, both materially, financially, and psychosocially, it must receive assistance from the Government, because in the Basic Law, Article 34 paragraph (1) it is that the poor and neglected children are cared for by the state," he explained.
As for gamblers, he emphasized that they would certainly be given punishment in accordance with the Criminal Code (KUHP) or the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (ITE).
The ITE Law Number 11 of 2008 Chapter VII concerning Prohibited Acts, Article 27 paragraph (2) reads, Everyone intentionally and without rights distributes and/or transmits and/or makes accessible Electronic Information and/or Electronic Documents that have gambling content.
