Indonesia tetapkan kos haji 56 juta rupiah setiap jemaah

JAKARTA: Kos menunaikan ibadah haji bagi setiap jemaah Indonesia ditetapkan sebanyak 56 juta rupiah (RM16,940) pada tahun depan berbanding 49.8 juta rupiah pada 2023.

Bakal jemaah hanya perlu membayar 60 peratus daripada kos sebenar yang berjumlah 93.4 juta rupiah (RM28,271) manakala bakinya ditanggung daripada dana diurus Badan Pengurusan Kewangan Haji.

Perkara itu ditetapkan dalam mesyuarat antara Suruhanjaya VIII Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat dan Kementerian Agama diketuai menterinya Yaqut Cholil Quomas pada Isnin.

Yaqut menjelaskan kos haji dipengaruhi nilai pertukaran matawang Rupiah berbanding dolar Amerika Syarikat dan riyal Arab Saudi terhadap pembayaran pengangkutan, hotel, penerbangan, visa, insuran dan wang saku.

Jumlah jemaah haji Indonesia tahun depan meningkat kepada 241,000 orang berbanding 221,000 orang pada 2023.

Consider This: Multidimensional Poverty in the 21st Century

Despite decades of progress, poverty continues to trap millions in cycles of deprivation, and conventional measures often fail to reflect the full scope of their struggles. The Multidimensional Poverty Index, developed by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, offers a revolutionary way to understand and address poverty by looking at deprivations in education, health, and living standards. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Professor Dr Sabina Alkire, Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative. Together with Professor James Foster, she developed the Alkire-Foster method for measuring multidimensional poverty.
