00:00Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As we are well aware,
00:03the number of people working in the industry is increasing,
00:06up to 60 years.
00:08Most of the workers are suffering from chronic diseases
00:11after 60 years.
00:14Taking into account their contributions
00:16over the past 30 years,
00:19can you provide a safety net
00:21through insurance companies,
00:23for example, medical insurance
00:26that is covered by the insurance companies?
00:29Mr. Speaker, as we can see,
00:31when a 60-year-old person
00:35suffers from chronic diseases
00:38such as diabetes, heart disease, or blood pressure,
00:41and there is no income,
00:44there is no safety net,
00:46and there is no insurance that covers this cost,
00:49the medical bills are not less than Rp 1,500.
00:52So, can they not work for almost 30 years?
00:55Can they not use insurance to cover their losses?
00:59If not, this will be a burden on the government
01:01through the Ministry of Welfare, etc.
01:03I would like to hear your views, Mr. Speaker.
01:05Mr. Speaker.
01:07Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
01:09This morning, I am fortunate, Mr. Speaker,
01:11because two former Ministers of Finance
01:14or the former Minister of Finance
01:16asked me,
01:17the Minister should be the one to answer,
01:20not the Speaker.
01:22It should be.
01:23However,
01:24I will still answer the question raised by Mr. Speaker.
01:28And we know that
01:30in 2030,
01:32at least 15% of the population will be affected
01:37as stated by Mr. Speaker just now.
01:41And what Mr. Speaker raised
01:44is through the basic human structure,
01:47from 2025 to 2030.
01:50Mr. Speaker, you must know this.
01:52This has been raised in this matter.
01:55And the benefits of Pekeso
01:57is taking into account the cost of living
01:59and the rate of inflation
02:01as well as the utility of Pekeso funds.
02:04For the above 60-year-old workers
02:06who are still working in the former sector,
02:09those workers are eligible to live
02:11under the working disaster scheme.
02:13And from one point of view,
02:16Mr. Speaker,
02:18in principle,
02:20the Cabinet has agreed in March 2024
02:24to implement the social security scheme
02:27instead of the working disaster scheme.
02:29This means that
02:31those who are not working
02:34will be protected.
02:36This has been agreed by the Cabinet.
02:38But the problem now is that
02:40it is still in the framework
02:43to be brought into the Cabinet meeting.
02:47It will be brought
02:49into the Cabinet meeting.
02:51We pray that because of these four documents,
02:53it must be changed through the Cabinet
02:55and will be brought back
02:57to the Parliament hearing
02:59which may be postponed.
03:01This time it may not be possible
03:03and may be postponed
03:05to the next hearing.
03:07And I believe
03:09as was brought by
03:11our former minister, Mr. Tapah,
03:13I know the struggle of his time
03:15in this matter.
03:17And of course he wants to see
03:19what developments happened
03:21during his struggle.
03:23And this is the time for us
03:25to continue the struggle
03:27so that the struggle can be realized.
03:30Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
