The National Mandate Party (PAN) held the peak celebration of its 2 la 28th anniversary under the theme “Gerak Cepat Bantu Rakyat” (Fast Movement to Help the People) at the Plenary Hall, Jakarta International Convention Centre (JICC) Senayan, on Friday (18/09/2026). During this event, PAN officially inaugurated the National PANsar Murah Movement.

PAN Central Executive Board Chairperson, Putri Zulkifli Hasan, stated that the party intends to use this anniversary momentum as an opportunity to assist the public. Consequently, PAN initiated the National PANsar Murah Movement, which is to be officially inaugurated by President Prabowo Subianto.

“So, for this 28th anniversary, we want to celebrate together with the community,” she said at the JICC Senayan Plenary Hall on Friday.

Putri explained that the public will be able to obtain various basic necessities at lower prices through the National PANsar Murah Movement. The commodities provided include rice, cooking oil, sugar, and other essential goods.

“The programme allows for the subsidized redemption of basic needs, such as rice, oil, sugar, and so on. The prices can be 50-75 per cent cheaper than current market rates,” said Putri.

According to Putri, the programme is also aligned with the government’s agenda to promote food self-sufficiency. She noted that PAN wishes to support this agenda while simultaneously helping the public meet their basic needs at more affordable prices.

Putri mentioned that PANsar Murah is open to the public and does not restrict recipients to specific groups. However, implementation will be subject to quotas in each respective region. Members of the public will be able to register online to obtain vouchers to be used during the redemption process.

She noted that the programme’s quota will be adjusted according to the implementation area. According to her, each region will receive a quota of approximately 5,000 to 10,000 recipients.

In its implementation, Putri stated that the underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions would be a priority. However, the programme is targeted to reach communities across all provinces gradually.

“Yes, certainly, our first priority will be the 3T areas. But we will also implement this simultaneously in South Sumatra, North Sumatra, Kalimantan, NTT, and others. God willing, we will rotate through all provinces on a routine basis,” said Putri.
