JAKARTA - The Ministry of Social Affairs gave an outstanding elderly athlete award to Indonesian professional boxing athlete Ellyas Pical on the commemoration of the 2021 National Elderly Day (HLUN) Irianingsi for the elderly who excel in education in commemoration of the 2021 National Elderly Day (HLUN) which was held virtually in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Saturday, May 29. "We also provide assistance to accredited heritage in the hope that it can be a motivation for heritage in other areas to be more active in making programs that are fun for the elderly," said Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini.

The Family Benefit Center (Pusaka) is the name for LKS for Elderly Social Welfare Institutions (LKS Lansia). The Minister of Social Affairs stated that his party is currently designing a new program, namely the Elderly Posyandu. He carried out the program when he was still the Mayor of Surabaya. Even though in a pandemic atmosphere, the peak of commemorating the 2021 National Elderly Day (HLUN) took place solemnly. The Minister of Social Affairs stated, in 2020, the Ministry of Social Affairs will not hold an HLUN warning, because of the pandemic. This year, in an atmosphere that is still covered by a pandemic, the HLUN warning has a different nuance. The event is held through offline activities with strict health protocols, then broadcast so that participants from all over Indonesia can continue to follow it online.
