DPR Deputy Speaker Cucun Provides Aid to 1,448 Orphans in West Java II Electoral District
The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR RI), Cucun Ahmad Syallurijal, has provided aid to 1,448 orphans at twelve different locations within his constituency, West Java II, which encompasses Bandung Regency and West Bandung Regency.
“The spirit of sharing today is no longer merely an option, but an urgent social necessity. Amidst various life challenges, many of our brothers and sisters still require a helping hand,” said Cucun in a statement confirmed in Jakarta on Thursday.
Cucun made these remarks after supporting thousands of orphans to mark the occasion of Ashura or 10 Muharram 1448 Hijriah.
Additionally, he inaugurated the renovation of an uninhabitable house (rutilahu) belonging to a resident in Cipedes Village, Bandung.
According to him, the inauguration of the house renovation underscores that the advocacy work of people’s representatives targets not only short-term social needs but also the improvement of infrastructure for the lower-income community.
“The aid and the rutilahu house renovation programme that we inaugurated today are part of a political commitment to presence—ensuring that the state and its leaders always remain close to the people, especially those in need,” he stated.
Meanwhile, he expressed hope that the aid movement and the house renovation initiatives could serve as an inspiration and trigger a wider wave of social solidarity across various regions.
“Therefore, I invite all elements of society who have excess wealth not to delay doing good. The more we share, the stronger our social bonds and brotherhood will become within the community,” he added.
