Deputy Chairman of Commission II DPR Luqman Hakim asked Minister of ATR/BPN Sofyan Djalil to cancel the participant card rules BPJS Health as a condition of land sale and purchase.
According to him, if there is an error in Presidential Instruction No. 1 of 2022, Sofyan should provide input so that revisions are made and not immediately implement it.
“I ask Mentari ATR/BPN Sofyan Djalil to cancel the BPJS Health membership policy as a condition for land services,” said Luqman in his statement, Saturday (19/2).
“If there is an error in presidential instruction number 1 of 2022 related to land issues, Minister Sofyan Djalil, as assistant to the president, should provide input so that the presidential instruction is revised so that the people are not harmed,” he added.
He said that the issuance of the BPJS rules was part of a ridiculous, irrational and arbitrary power practice. Luqman questioned the relationship between buying and selling land and BPJS health.
According to him, philosophically, land ownership and social health insurance are people’s rights that must be protected by the state.
In carrying out the obligation to protect the rights of the people, he said, the state should not infringe on the rights of other people.
“The birth of this policy makes me suspect that there are evil elements that have infiltrated around President Jokowi and his cabinet ranks and deliberately encourage the birth of policies that clash the president with the people,” he said.

“Every application for registration services for the transfer of land rights or Ownership Rights to Flat Units due to buying and selling must be accompanied by a photocopy of the BPJS Health Participant Card,” the letter said as quoted on Saturday (19/2).
