This legal framework empowers authorities to apply graduated sanctions, ranging from formal warnings to permanent removal, for welfare abuse linked to illegal gambling. The regulation seeks to safeguard social aid from exploitation and maintain its focus on vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Economically, redirecting welfare funds away from ineligible individuals is expected to improve the sustainability and efficiency of Indonesia\u2019s social protection system. Meanwhile, the government continues to combat the underground online gambling market, estimated to have processed transactions totaling approximately <strong>Rp976.8 trillion<\/strong> since 2017. Strengthening oversight of both social aid disbursement and gambling-related financial flows aims to enhance transparency and curb fiscal leakage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Jakarta undertakes this significant reform, the government\u2019s ability to restore public trust in social welfare hinges on the sustained enforcement of these measures and potential future reforms addressing deeper systemic vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The investigation identified around 2 million recipients as ineligible due to anomalies including gambling-related financial behavior, with hotspots in West Java, Central Java, and East Java, underscoring the extent of misuse across key regions.
