Indonesia Pilgrimage Need an Accommodation in Saudi Arabia
Indonesia need its own accommodation in Saudi Arabia that can be used for hajj pilgrimage and umrah pilgrimage, moreover Indonesia have the most pilgrimages in the world.
"Indonesia as a country with the majority of the most Muslim population in the world and recently also have the largest quota of pilgrimage, should have national pride because Indonesian Government can provide benefit for pilgrimages and also lift the pride of the nation," Said member of commission VIII, Achmad Mustaqim. According to him, by owning self accommodation it will make the pride of Indonesian nation that have the most Muslim population in the world.
The PPP politician also warned that Umrah pilgrimage last year were already more than 1 million people (excluding Hajj pilgrimage), so that the asset of accommodation would also give benefit for the Hajj Financial Management Board (BPKH).
These benefit, he added, could eventually be used to subsidize the pilgrimage so it can make affordable cost for people who want to go to the Holy Land, as the increase of living cost in Indonesia. The Vice President Jusuf Kalla said investment of pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia will be profitable, and pilgrimages from Indonesia can get the benefit.
"Because the development of Hajj pilgrimages are getting higher and the development of umrah pilgrimages are almost a million a year, so if Indonesian Government, through the Hajj Financial Management Board (BPKH), decide to invest in Saudi Arabia it will be profitable because it can be used within a year," Said Vice President.
The Vice President explained the plan of Indonesian Government investment in Saudi Arabia can be used for pilgrimage’s accomodation. It used to be the using of the accommodation in Mecca only took three months during the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage, then with the investment it will make the Indonesia pilgrimage use the facility for one year.
Previously, several members of the House of Representatives emphasized the increase of Pilgrimage Operation Cost (BPIH), should be accompanied with the increased of the service of the organizer. "The service should be a top priority, so the increase will be an encouragement to equally increase the quality of pilgrimage process, and in the satisfaction rate of pilgrimage will increase," said Member of Commission VIII DPR RI Iqbal Romzi.
According to the PKS politician, the increase of BPIH pilgrimage cost Rp345 thousand compared to last year’s cost is very realistic related to the price increase in Saudi Arabia. Member of the House of Representatives Commission VIII Diah Pitaloka also hope the efficiency on transportation should not impact the services of pilgrimage. "The efficiency will improve the protection and health services especially for weak pilgrimages," said the PDI-P politician.
