Hoax! Minister of Religious Affairs Disappointed that Society Does Not Support Collection of Rp1,000 Trillion Fund

Jakarta (ANTARA/JACX) – A post on the social media platform Threads circulated a narrative claiming that Minister of Religious Affairs Nasaruddin Umar was disappointed because the public did not support the collection of a Rp1,000 trillion fund. The post, in the form of an image and caption, stated that the Minister of Religious Affairs blamed society for the minimal support towards the plan to collect those funds. The following is the narrative in the post: “Minister of Religious Affairs disappointed society does not support collecting 1,000 trillion fund. If you do not believe in religious experts, it is the same as not believing in the existence of rewards and the afterlife.” However, is it true that the Minister of Religious Affairs is disappointed that society does not support the Rp1,000 trillion fund collection? Explanation: Based on the investigation, no information or official statements from the government or credible media were found mentioning that Minister of Religious Affairs Nasaruddin Umar conveyed such a thing. The Ministry of Religious Affairs, through its official Instagram, denied the statement of the Minister of Religious Affairs’ disappointment towards society regarding the collection of a Rp1,000 trillion fund. He has indeed discussed the significant potential of community funds on several occasions, such as at the 99 Sharia Economists Gathering on 24 February 2026 and the One Table podcast programme on 25 March 2026. However, those statements are not related to the claim of collecting a Rp1,000 trillion fund or disappointment towards society. Therefore, the claim stating that the Minister of Religious Affairs is disappointed towards society for not supporting the Rp1,000 trillion fund collection is untrue information or a hoax.
