JATIM - East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa gave a bonus to compete in the field or so-called bonus mentas to the men's tennis team who managed to bring home the gold medal in team tennis at the XX Papua National Sports Week (PON).
"Right now it means a mental bonus on the field, but later on a medal bonus, the appreciation from those who have fought tremendously, God willing, we will convey to the 2022 APBD," said Khofifah at the Sian Soor Tennis Center, Jayapura Mayor's Office, reported by Antara, Sunday, October 3rd.
Khofifah said the bonus was budgeted in the 2022 Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) which was immediately discussed in the DPRD.
The 27th Indonesian Minister of Social Affairs revealed that the East Java KONI team had actually been with the provincial government several times. This means that Khofifah is present and knows the targets per sport, so that she can continue to be escorted.
"What happens in the field, we will certainly adapt," said Khofifah.
Regardless of the target, Khofifah emphasized that the main thing to pay attention to is maintaining the health of athletes.
"Before they compete, they certainly have time to interact with the surrounding environment with other athletes and so on, so what must be taken care of is the health of the athletes so that when they compete everything is in top condition," said Khofifah.
Meanwhile, East Java KONI Chair Erlangga Satriagung who accompanied Khofifah, added that the nominal bonus given by the East Java Governor to medal-winning athletes would vary.
"Rp 30 million is for individual gold, for which four to six players are Rp 15 million per person, for more than six people it is Rp 10 million per person," said Erlangga.
The East Java men's tennis team managed to bring home gold after beating the Bengkulu team in the final 2-0, through Christopher Rungkat and M Rifqi Fitriadi's singles.
