SUKABUMI (October 29, 2021) - The Ministry of Social Affairs through Social Rehabilitation Center Phala Martha Sukabumi moved quickly to respond to information about the elderly Sukabumi who moved to a shop after the house was demolished by Satpol PP.

 

Following up on the direction of the Minister of Social Affairs so that the Center can do outreach for the homeless who live under bridges, carts and other wild places, Cup Santo as the Head of the Phala Marth assigned Social Workers Umar Khaerudin and R. Dani Bustomi to provide ATENSI support the assessment stage for the elderly as reported by detik.com on Wednesday, 27 October 2021 16:52 WIB with the link: https://news.detik.com/berita-jawa-barat/d-5785160/rumah-dibongkar-satpol-pp-lansia-sukabumi-ngungsi-di-emperan-toko.

 

The elderly with the initials SM (61 years old) is one of the residents who own a coffee shop and retail gasoline who was affected by the Control Operation in the form of demolition of illegal buildings without permission by the Sukabumi Regency Satpol PP on October 27, 2021, following Warning Letter III dated October 19, 2021.

 

“SM” and his wife currently live alone and have opened a coffee and petrol shop just across the road from their former kiosk which was demolished in Kampung Gunung Sumping RT.002 RW.016, Citepus Village, Palabuhanratu Sukabumi. The land was temporarily lent by Ibu Eni, one of the neighbors who couldn't bear to sleep alone on the terrace of her empty kiosk.

 

"SM" at length told his life journey to Social Workers. “My parents are from Banyumas Regency and before going to Sukabumi in 2012, we lived in West Kalimantan for 12 years. At that time in West Kalimantan, we were blessed with two daughters,” said SM.

 

Initially, in Sukabumi we lived and traded in Ciemas Sukabumi, there we already had a house but it was sold 7 years ago for trading capital. Then we moved to Palabuhanratu, but until now we have not been able to buy land and houses anymore. At this time we are concentrating on paying for the tuition of our second daughter (youngest) who is currently studying and living in Sukabumi City.

 

Umar Khaerudin as a social worker said that on behalf of the Ministry of Social Affairs, we are also concerned and empathetic to the problems that are being faced by the "SM" family. "Hopefully Mr. SM and his family remain patient and try to face life's problems," said Umar.

 

Our presence at this time seeks to identify problems, needs, potentials, and resource systems that are still owned by the "SM" family as material for planning ATENSI services which will be coordinated both internally by the Ministry of Social Affairs and externally to be able to solve the problems that are being faced by SM family, added Umar.

SM expressed his gratitude for the visit from the Ministry of Social Affairs and hoped that the problems being faced would soon find a solution.

The assessment process was carried out in coordination with H. E. Misbah as Secretary of the Camat and Head of the Social Welfare Section of Palabuhanratu District, Sukabumi Regency. The Social Worker visited SM accompanied by Engkus as Head of Satpol PP Palabuhanratu Subdistrict who was also Acting Head of Citepus Village.
