        "summary": "A member of Indonesia's House of Representatives, Mujakkir Zuhri, has highlighted May Day 2026 as a vital opportunity for synergy between the government and workers, emphasising its role in advancing the welfare state through collective efforts. He praised President Prabowo Subianto's attendance at the event and his promises, including a long-term housing ownership programme for labourers with instalments up to 40 years, aimed at making homes more accessible. Mujakkir also noted the rise in minimum wages over the past decade and expressed hopes for further improvements amid geopolitical challenges, underscoring the contributions of workers to regional development in areas like Tangerang.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 A member of Commission VII of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives (DPR RI), Mujakkir Zuhri, views International Labour Day\nor May Day not merely as a ceremony or a national holiday for workers.\nHe stated that Labour Day represents a living momentum from the drops of\nsweat that drive the wheels of civilisation and is laden with meaning.\nIn Indonesia, this commemoration serves as a crucial moment to examine\nhow far it becomes a force in stepping forward together to build the\nWelfare State. \u201cIn truth, nation- and state-building is not done by one\nparty alone, but by all parties, including workers,\u201d said Mujakkir in a\nwritten statement on Sunday, 3 May 2026. He also appreciated the\nGovernment, in this case President Prabowo Subianto, for embracing and\nlistening to workers\u2019 aspirations during his leadership. \u201cWe should know\nthat Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto attended the May Day 2025\ncommemoration in 2025 and is reported to attend May Day this year as\nwell,\u201d he revealed. According to him, the current Government is\nstrengthening strong synergy to prosper society. \u201cOf course, this\npositive synergy needs to be maintained to realise a prosperous\nsociety,\u201d he said. Mujakkir, representing the electoral district of\nTangerang Regency, Tangerang City, and South Tangerang City,\nacknowledged that his region has advanced thanks to workers and\nharmonious governance. \u201cMy electoral district has many factories; all\nsynergise to develop the area, and I hope workers can become\nincreasingly prosperous in the years ahead,\u201d he hoped. Looking back ten\nyears, he continued, the graph of minimum wage (UMR) increases nominally\nfrom around Rp 3.1 million in 2016 to about Rp 5.3 million in 2026 is\nhoped to continue improving. \u201cHopefully, amid the current geopolitical\nconditions, there will be a significant increase,\u201d he said. In addition,\nMujakkir appreciated President Prabowo\u2019s speech in front of thousands of\nworkers at the National Monument (Monas) and his promise of worker\nwelfare. \u201cThis is proof that the president is present for the people,\nincluding workers,\u201d he stated. It is known that at the 2026 May Day\ncelebration, President Prabowo Subianto once again attended with workers\nat the National Monument (Monas). Around 200,000 workers are estimated\nto crowd the Monas area. In his speech, President Prabowo Subianto\npromised a home ownership programme for workers through a long-term\ninstalment scheme of up to 40 years. The policy is expected to encourage\nmore affordable housing access for workers.<\/p>",
