PDIP East Java Provincial Committee distributed 485 sacrificial cows.\nThe distribution was conducted through PDIP provincial and district\noffices, Islamic boarding schools, religious organisations, mosques, and\norphanages.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs previously stated, the 485 sacrificial cows were distributed to\neach PDIP district office, Islamic boarding schools, mosques, religious\norganisations, and orphanages. Those slaughtered at PDIP district\noffices across East Java will be distributed to nearby poor communities\nand orphanages,\u201d said Said Abdullah, Chairman of PDIP East Java\nProvincial Committee, on Wednesday, 27 May 2026.<\/p>\n
Said explained that the distribution of sacrificial animals is a\nregular activity by the PDIP East Java family as a form of social\nconcern for the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis activity is regularly carried out by us, the PDIP East Java\nfamily,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEid al-Adha is both a spiritual and social obligation. We observe\nthat most of East Java\u2019s population works in the informal sector,\nmeaning they are employed but with inadequate conditions and low\nincomes,\u201d Said stated.<\/p>\n
Said noted that 64.4% of East Java\u2019s workforce is in the informal\nsector, higher than the national average of 59.4%, indicating fewer\npeople in formal employment.<\/p>\n
He added that this situation means workers, despite being employed,\ndo not receive fair wages, health insurance, pension coverage, severance\npay, annual leave, or other standard worker rights \u2013 entitlements\ntypically reserved for formal sector employees.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs PDIP leaders in East Java, we want to share with poor households,\nmostly working in the informal sector, so they can also experience the\nblessings of Eid al-Adha,\u201d Said said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also noted data showing East Java residents consume only 6-9\ngrams of beef per capita weekly, compared to the global average of\n150-200 grams, and higher in developed nations,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Said described the data as ironic, given East Java is Indonesia\u2019s\nlargest cattle-producing province, with over 100,000 tonnes of beef and\ndairy cattle produced annually to supply local and national demand. Yet,\nlocal consumption remains low, leading to inadequate nutrition.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, we pooled resources from our blessings to share, as\nconsuming beef is a luxury for poor households due to high prices.\nDuring this Eid al-Adha celebration, we aim to help the poor improve\ntheir situation, at least allowing them to joyfully enjoy the\nsacrificial meat,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
Said expressed hope that PDIP East Java\u2019s efforts would strengthen\nsocial unity and solidarity within the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndeed, we hope the party\u2019s provincial committee acts as a social\nfabric, embodying the identity of a people\u2019s party sharing with the\npeople,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pdip-east-java-provincial-committee-distributes-485-sacrificial-cows-to-poor-households-and-orphanages-1779875547", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
