Zainudin Amali Leaves A Big Homework For The Minister Of Youth And Sports Next: DBON

JAKARTA - Zainudin Amali has informally conveyed his decision to resign from the position of Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora). He conveyed this when he met President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) some time ago.

"I have reported to the president, he also knows that I was elected as one of the deputy chairmen of PSSI and he handed it over to me," Amali said when meeting the President on February 20.

"I conveyed to my friends that I had to vote and I conveyed to the president, 'Father, I will focus and concentrate on managing football as PSSI administrators'. And that he understood, and he said, I was allowed to concentrate on taking care of football," he continued.

At that time, Amali acted as Deputy General Chair of PSSI. That was also what made him choose to position as a national sports coach.

However, Amali left the following great homework for the Menpora. The homework is called DBON (National Sports Grand Design).

The program contained in Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 86 of 2021 does not yet have its own budget. In fact, DBON has recently been intensively socialized by the ministry led by Amali.

This was conveyed by a man from Gorontalo during a Working Meeting with Commission X of the DPR at the end of last year. He stated that DBON does not yet have its own budget from the Ministry of Finance, just like Presidential Instruction No. 3 of 2019 concerning the Acceleration of National Football.

He reiterated that fact when the agenda for submitting the report on the results of the BPK examination at the Kemenpora office on Wednesday, February 22, yesterday.

In a meeting with the DPR at that time, Amali explained that the Ministry of Youth and Sports set aside funds to be able to socialize DBON.

Now, the ball is in the hands of the new Menpora. Of course, DBON has so far been considered quite successful in the development of national sports achievements.

One example is the achievements of the Indonesian contingent at the 2021 SEA Games Hanoi. The Red Team won a total of 241 medals, with the incidence being 69 gold medals, 91 silver, and 81 bronze medals.

In this position, this is the best achievement since the last four editions of the SEA Games.
