Commission VIII RMR The value of Smart Pakem application is not necessary

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Sodik Mudjahid, vice chairman of the House Committee of Representatives VIII, said that the application Smart Pakem (monitoring of the flow of trust in the community) was evidence of a failure of the development of believers and community organizations.

According to him, with the petition launched by the DKI Jakarta prosecutor's office, the community looks like a return to the Soeharto government era.

"If you're using an application of this type, it means that your concept of empowerment does not evolve. When you use the models of the 70s who observe you," he said at the time a meeting at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday (11/27/2018)

He also believes that the application does not really need to exist. According to Sodik, the most important is to guide those who are monitored through the application.

Sodik felt that the growth of radicalism and heresy was precisely due to the non-optimal orientation.

"When we have advanced this way, we no longer need to set everything in. The important thing is to be favored, at maturity. Do not even do it." It does not favor, it will regulate and then limit, "he explained.

According to Sodik, coaching can be done by forming badociations for groups of believers so as not to be called a cult.

However, he also stressed the importance of a treatment that does not judge and do not suspect mbad organizations and groups of members.

"The advice is given by friends of the culture." "The agreement, the badociation is one, but the concept of treatment, the concept of the most important coaching, does not require any suspicion," he said. -he declares.
