Jakarta – Deputy Chairman of the MPR Ri Hidayat Nur Wahid (HNW) expressed concern about the case of poisoning in children participating in the Free Nutritional Meal (MBG). To follow up the noble goals of the MBG program, HNW supports the proposals of different parties, so that the government immediately evaluates the MBG program implementation. This insistence was delivered after the repetition of the poisoning cases of thousands of students in different regions received by the MBG program. Browse to continue the content proposal for overall improvement and or evaluation was transferred by the people who met HNW, parents of students who were concerned about the incident, their children, even by the Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) and the leadership of parliament. He clearly mentions the condition of this food poisoning contrary to the noble purpose of MBG to feed children by improving the nutritional quality of the children of the country as part of the Asta Cita president of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto. “In accordance with the constitutional orders to protect all children of the country, the children are the most judicial party for the protection of the state. But very unfortunately, thousands of children actually become victims of poisoning due to the intake of MBG foods, part of the problem,” HNW said in his statement, Thursday (9/25/2025). “Because it is the public confidence of the APBN for MBG, whose value is for the financial year 2025 rp. 71 triunians and up to RP 335 trillion for 2026, also related to the children of Generation Z and Alpha, who are also the future of the next generation, the government by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) as the MBG, should immediately make a CRS. Ensure that implementing the implementation of implementing the implementation of implementing the implementation of implementing the implementation of implementing the implementation of implementing the implementation of the implementation of the implementation of the implementation of the implementation of the implementation of the implementation of the implementation of the implementation of the implementation MBG, which should be the implementation of the MBG organizer, and this must ensure that it is the implementation of the implementation, and this must ensure that the implementation of implementing the implementation is all regions running in all areas, safe, healthy, healthy, healthy, healthy, healthy, healthy, healthy, healthy, healthy, healthy, healthy, Poisoning case stops, and the MBG program has been successfully programmed, “he continued. HNW emphasized that the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945 in Article 28B paragraph 2, as well as Act number 35 of 2014 regarding child protection, clearly instructed that each child has the right to survival, growth and development and protection against all types of threats that endanger their health and safety. Therefore, the repeated cases of poisoning experienced by schoolchildren are clearly not in line with the spirit of the fulfillment of children’s human rights, and it has a great potential to frustrate this good MBG program, so that the correction and improvement must be presented immediately. Based on data from the Indonesian Education Monitoring Network (JPPI), until September 2025 6.452 cases of children’s poisoning after receiving MBG. There are even areas that established cases of MBG poisoning as extraordinary events (KLB), as in West Bandung Regency, as a result of the poisoning that took place simultaneously and massively. ‘If this condition is left unnoticed, not only can harm children and parents, but also undermine the confidence in the MBG program, even the realization of one of the great programs of Asta Cita president Prabowo. For this reason, HNW asked the government to do a thorough evaluation immediately, and to ensure the safety and halal of MBG foods, as well as a thorough evaluation of MBG management that puts the production process in the kitchen (SPPG), the distribution process, to children in schools. “So that there are no more children who are the victim of poisoning after eating MBG, and to record this good MBG program, I support the aspirations so that the government evaluates the MBG program extensively and transparently. So that the MBG program returns to the 2045 gold and correct roads,” says HNW. “Of course, it can only be achieved if children survive and become healed with their nutritional needs, one of which is pursued with the presence of the MBG program but is not problematic,” he concluded.
