Jakarta – The government will immediately conduct an audit and collect information on Islamic residences in Indonesia that are hundreds of years old after the collapse of the Al Khoziny Islamic boarding school in Sidoarjo, East Java. According to the government’s data, a number of old Islamic residences are vulnerable and do not meet standards. This was transferred by coordinating Community Empowerment Minister Muhaimin Iskandar after meeting with the Minister of Religion Nasarudiin Umar in Widya Chandra, South Jakarta on Tuesday (7/10). Cak Imin’s audit of a number of Islamic residences is a follow -up to President Prabowo Subianto’s leadership. “The Islamic boarding school that has just experienced a disaster like Sidoarjo some time ago is actually 125 years old. On average, Islamic residences with many old buildings are not followed by sufficient planning,” Cak Imin said. Browse to continue with Content Cak Imin said that the standards of the Islamic residence in Indonesia are not met three things, firstly budget constraints. He said it meant that Islamic residences often did patchwork during construction. “Secondly, because we are very old, we will evaluate it and we will start from the oldest Islamic boarding school and the one most likely to be things we do not want,” he said. The third factor is that some Islamic residences survive with independence. Thus, ongoing Cak Imin, the government will coordinate so that Islamic residences will adapt by dealing with vulnerable threats in terms of physical buildings. The government noted that the number of institutions is 344 thousand, and then there are 42 thousand Islamic residences with dorms, then 104 thousand Madrasah Dinya, 194 thousand al-Kuran educational institutions and about 9.8 million students and students. And the number of educators is 1.16 million educators spread across different places. Islamic residences over 100 years are audited. Cak Imin said he is working with the Minister of Religion to solve the problem to save old Islamic residences. The government will prioritize the handling of Islamic residences that are 100 to 200 years old. “We do audits of old Islamic residences, especially the older than 100, 200 years, which are naturally coordinated with the Minister of Public Works. Audit the buildings, then we are looking for renovations, the old ones are only vulnerable,” Cak Imin said. Cak Imin said that the renovation priority was only carried out on the most vulnerable Islamic residences. Only then was repairs to the old Islamic boarding school. “What we need to prioritize, we decided, what we prioritize is the most vulnerable. The second, the oldest, that is two priorities,” he explained. Cak Imin can’t talk further about Al Khoziny Islamic boarding school. He said the audit and handling process was carried out by police and the Ministry of Public Works. The formation of Islamic boarding school development Task Force Cak Imin has revealed that the government will form a task force (SATGAs) for arranging the development of Islamic residences. This task force will carry out data collection and audit Islamic boarding buildings in Indonesia. “We will form a task force for the development of the Islamic boarding school from the most vulnerable. Start with an audit by the PU minister’s team,” Cak Imin said. Cak Imin emphasized that all construction of the Islamic boarding school (PBG) must build. The developmental process of the Islamic boarding school will be discontinued if it does not have PBG. “It is important to ensure that all building processes are stopped without permits. Stop first. I ask all Islamic residences that build to stop temporarily because they need permission. We can understand it, because the average age of Islamic residences is 100 years, 150 years, in Sidoarjo, it is 125 years old. So, we must continue to use them to work together. Only 51 Islamic residences in Indonesia have PBG permits. PU minister, Dody Hanggodo, revealed data on only 51 Islamic residences that have approval permits out of about 42 thousand over Indonesia. Most Islamic residences do not have permits, or the quality of the buildings is unknown. “It seems that most of them do not have permits. Only 51 of those recorded in our PBG system have permits,” Dody said after a meeting with Cak Imin at the Ministry of Public Works. Dody added that his party would directly check all Islamic residences in Indonesia. It will also help with the acquisition of permits. He explained that the problem of the lack of Islamic residences that PBG permits has is because it takes things too lightly. However, this permit is important to ensure the suitability of the building for use. “Yes, perhaps because Islamic residences like students for students, so they think they don’t need a permit. In fact, the permit is to ensure that what is being built corresponds to the norms, column quality, structural quality, and so on,” he said. On the other hand, many Islamic residences are located far from urban areas. This means that the awareness of making PBG is still minimal. “The management of PBG permits, I also think so. Because PBG and IMB business are usually only in big cities, right? Dody said that the Tebuireng Islamic boarding school in East Java is a good example of permits and build quality. Not just about education, Tebuireng also has modern buildings. “Like Tebuireng, it’s really good. There are many modern Islamic residences, well, it’s indeed good and they exist, but it’s just a small part, most of them are very limited,” he said. Construction without permits asked to be discontinued. Cak Imin asked all Islamic residences to process the approval permits. If not, the continued construction of the building must first be stopped. “No matter how small a building should be a PBG. So, while the Minister of Public Works corrects it, the Minister of Public Works guarantees that all types of permits are free. The most important thing is to ensure that all construction processes are stopped without permits. Stop,” Cak Imin said. The government will enter to help with the building permits. The TASK Force for Islamic boarding school development was also formed to speed up data collection and audits. Cak Imin hopes this effort can prevent the Al Khoziny Islamic boarding school incident from happening again. He also warned the administrators of Islamic residences. “I carry to the public, especially the Kiai, Islamic boarding school leaders, just this once enough. Never have a poignant and terrible disaster again,” he said. Next, the government will set up a budget to make Islamic residences better in Indonesia. With a limited budget, Cak Imin remains optimistic that the government’s efforts can be optimal. “For the Islamic boarding school community, this Islamic residence will hopefully have more nutrition, the government has a budget. But we try as hard as possible to have a budget to deal with those who are prone to accidents,” he said. (IDN/RFS)
