Viral Video of Motorcycles with BGN Logo: BGN Head Provides Clarification

A video featuring several motorcycles with the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) logo has gone viral on social media. BGN Head Dadan Hindayana explained that the procurement of these motorcycles is part of the 2025 budget planning and is intended to support the operations of the Free Nutritious Meals Programme (MBG), particularly for Heads of Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG). “The procurement of these motorcycles is indeed included in the 2025 budget. Their function is to support the operations of SPPG Heads,” Dadan stated in his comments on Tuesday (7/4). Nevertheless, Dadan assured that the motorcycles have not yet been distributed to the relevant parties. According to him, the available vehicles must still undergo administrative processes as State-Owned Goods (BMN) before they can be used. “The motorcycles have not been distributed. Once everything is complete, they will first be recorded as BMN before distribution,” he explained. Furthermore, the realisation of the motorcycle procurement process began gradually in December 2025. Meanwhile, regarding information circulating on social media about the procurement reaching 70,000 units, Dadan emphasised that such news is untrue or a hoax. “The information about 70,000 units is not true. The total realisation of electric motorcycles is 21,801 units out of 25,000 ordered in 2025,” Dadan stated. Dadan hopes that the public will not be easily influenced by unverified information and can understand that the procurement is part of the government’s efforts to ensure the smooth implementation of the MBG Programme throughout Indonesia. The government is committed to not raising the price of subsidised fuel during 2026. BGN Head Dadan Hindayana said he has reprimanded a man who was dancing at an SPPG while showing an incentive of Rp6 million. He asked the viral man to apologise to the public. BGN Head Dadan Hindayana conveyed that President Prabowo Subianto has instructed that the entire implementation of the Free Nutritious Meals Programme (MBG) should focus on improving SPPG. To date, this mega MBG project has been running for 1 year and 2 months, with a target of 82.9 million beneficiaries consisting of pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and toddlers. This was affirmed by Dadan during a special press conference on the MBG programme at the Cibuluh 1 SPPG in Bogor City, West Java, on Saturday (28/2). Dadan’s statement responds to narratives claiming that the large MBG budget comes from education, health, and government assistance positions in other ministries. BGN apologises and takes responsibility for the food poisoning incident in the free nutritious meals programme or MBG in East Jakarta. BGN apologises for the MBG incident in East Jakarta, covers the costs for victims, and suspends the Pondok Kelapa SPPG after 60 people were affected by the food. The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has officially halted operations at the Pondok Kelapa SPPG after 72 students were suspected of food poisoning from the Free Nutritious Meals. Kitchen standards and wastewater treatment are in the spotlight. The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has temporarily halted 1,256 SPPGs in Eastern Indonesia starting 1 April 2026 because they do not have hygiene certificates and wastewater treatment facilities. This is the reason.
