Hi Kaskus friends,
The many narratives and demonstrations that have occurred in this country related to MBG have apparently provided enlightenment for lower class people.
It turns out that today’s student aspirations can be politicized by certain interests. For me, who felt the difficulty of the 1998 crisis, it is clear that anarchist demonstrations are no longer the solution to changing this country.
But if there is a demonstration to implement the death penalty for corruptors, the confiscation of the corruptors’ assets until the corruptors are impoverished and then there are big demonstrations and there is chaos, let’s immediately put this country to rest. Because there is no intention of eradicating corruption to the lowest point, those who corrupt come out and are still rich. Meanwhile, the money that is corrupted is not felt by the little people.
While the MBG program is felt by ordinary people, imagine the economic cycle, not only in SPPG kitchens which require workers. But farmers, livestock breeders and fishermen will get extraordinary benefits from this program.
Every day the country needs healthy food managed by them, not to mention the industry which plays on the needs of the food, fertilizer and feed sectors for livestock.
The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) has had a significant economic impact in creating market certainty, increasing income, and easing the burden of household expenses for small communities. Based on a study from the National Economic Council, food spending turnover from this program is estimated to reach more than IDR 120 trillion per year.

Impact on Farmers
Market Certainty and Absorption of Harvest Products: The presence of kitchens or Nutrition Service Units in various regions absorbs various local commodities consistently. Agricultural products such as rice, vegetables, tomatoes and carrots which previously often experienced excess supply now have a permanent market.
Increase in Farmers’ Income and Exchange Rate (NTP): The soaring demand for food raw materials from this program has the potential to increase the selling price of products at the farmer level. This contributes directly to an increase in their income and NTP.
Impact on Breeders
Stable Demand for Livestock Products: The daily protein requirement for the MBG menu, such as eggs, chicken, beef, and milk, creates a stable business ecosystem for local farmers.
Encouraging Investment in the Livestock Sector: High demand triggers the emergence of new investments to increase production capacity. For example, there is investment in procuring tens of thousands of dairy cows in areas such as Brebes to supply the milk needs of the MBG program.
Impact on Fishermen
Local Fish Supply Chain: Small fishermen get a direct distribution channel to supply marine catches and freshwater cultivation as the main source of protein for school children.
Reducing Dependence on Middlemen: The involvement of fishing cooperatives in the local logistics distribution chain helps fishermen get fairer and more transparent selling prices.
Impact on Small People & MSMEs
Creation of New Jobs: This program is estimated to be able to absorb around 1.2 million workers. This new job opportunity is widely open to village communities, ranging from cooks in public kitchens, distribution workers, to daily workers.
Empowerment of MSMEs and Local Stalls: Procurement of kitchen spices, supporting materials and logistics services involves micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) around the location of the nutrition service unit.
Reduction in Household Expenditures: Families from the lower classes are greatly helped because the burden of paying for children’s meals at school is reduced. This economical family spending budget can be diverted to increase purchasing power for other urgent needs.

Then if there is corruption, should this program be stopped or closed?
The government and public policy observers emphasize that what must be improved is the monitoring and law enforcement system, not stopping the program.
Closing this program will actually harm millions of school children, pregnant women, and kill the economic ecosystem of farmers and livestock breeders who depend on the MBG supply chain.
Why Can’t the Program be Closed?
Children’s Rights Remain Primary: Fulfilling children’s nutrition to prevent stunting and build future human resources is a national agenda that must not be sacrificed due to the actions of unscrupulous individuals.
People’s Economy Could Collapse: Thousands of farmers, livestock breeders, fishermen and MSMEs who have invested to supply raw materials will suddenly lose their market.
Punish Victims, Not Perpetrators: Stopping the program means punishing ordinary people who need help, while perpetrators of corruption do not feel the direct impact of the closure.
Solutions to Facing the Risk of Corruption
The government, through the National Nutrition Agency, is implementing several mitigation measures to prevent and overcome budget leaks:
Digital Payment System: Fund distribution is directed using a cashless scheme or direct transfer to the Nutrition Service Unit account to minimize cash manipulation.
Periodic Strict Audits: Involving the Financial Audit Agency (BPK) and the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) to examine the financial reports in each public kitchen unit.
Empowerment of Citizen Supervision: The community, parents and school committees are directly involved in monitoring the quality of food and the volume of portions that children receive.
Severe Punishment for Perpetrators: Take firm legal action against unscrupulous officials, vendors or field managers who are proven to have cut budgets or reduced the nutritional quality of food.

In fact, corruption when the country is in crisis, such as the weakening of the rupiah, inflation and the risk of worsening the country can be punishable by death. Now it’s just a matter of how the state wants to be firm, if it can’t, then it will be nepalized down to its roots. There should be no more swollen parties, and direct election of officials must be party people, not professionalism. The more independent candidates the better, because their track records are professionals, not politicians.
But, this is my opinion, what do you think, bro, do you agree?
Thank you for reading this thread to the end, if you have any criticism, please submit it and I hope this thread is useful, stay healthy and independent. See u next thread.
