Video: Why Hari Raya Aid is Only for Online Motorcycle Taxi Drivers, What About Other Gig Workers?

Jakarta — President Prabowo Subianto has instructed the relevant ministry and agencies, namely the Ministry of Manpower, Ministry of Finance, and Ministry of Investment, to ensure the timely payment of holiday allowances (THR) to all state civil apparatus (ASN) and Hari Raya aid (BHR) for online motorcycle taxi drivers in 2026.

The report explores how the Ministry of Manpower ensures that THR and BHR payments are implemented according to regulations and uphold workers’ rights, as well as the impact on businesses amid global economic turbulence.

The discussion also addresses the rationale behind limiting Hari Raya aid exclusively to online motorcycle taxi drivers and the government’s efforts to address current informal worker issues.

In this segment on CNBC Indonesia’s Profit programme, host Andi Shalini speaks with Indah Anggoro Putri, Director General of Industrial Relations Guidance and Worker Social Security (Dirjen PHI and Jamsos) at the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower, to discuss these matters.
