JAKARTA – Komuniti diaspora Indonesia membangkitkan kebimbangan terhadap polisi kerajaan yang mengenakan cukai ke atas bantuan bencana dari luar negara untuk mangsa banjir di Sumatera.

Menurut seorang anggota diaspora yang menetap di Singapura, Fika, sumbangan daripada luar negara dianggap sebagai barangan import dan akan dikenakan cukai sekiranya bencana tersebut belum diisytiharkan sebagai bencana nasional.

Polisi ini dikecam ramai kerana dianggap tidak wajar memandangkan banjir terbaharu di Sumatera telah meragut 969 nyawa dan menyebabkan ribuan orang kehilangan tempat tinggal.

Fika menegaskan, pengenaan cukai ini menyekat inisiatif diaspora, menjadikan sumbangan wang sebagai kaedah utama bantuan.

Kedutaan Besar Indonesia di Singapura mengesahkan pihaknya tidak mempunyai kuasa untuk memudahkan penghantaran bantuan atau mempengaruhi keputusan kerajaan untuk mengisytiharkan status bencana nasional.

Duta Besar Suryo Pratomo menasihati diaspora supaya menyalurkan sumbangan melalui Palang Merah Indonesia atau organisasi sah lain.

Direktorat Jeneral Kastam pula masih belum memberi penjelasan terperinci mengenai pengenaan cukai terhadap bantuan yang dihantar, dan sedang menjalankan koordinasi dengan pihak berkenaan.

Sementara itu, Menteri Sekretariat Negara Prasetyo Hadi menegaskan kerajaan mempunyai sumber mencukupi untuk menangani banjir tanpa bantuan asing.

Beliau berkata, kerajaan memiliki stok makanan dan bahan api yang mencukupi, malah menggunakan kaedah luar biasa seperti penghantaran udara untuk sampai ke kawasan terpencil yang terjejas.

Polisi cukai ini menimbulkan perdebatan dalam kalangan diaspora yang ingin membantu mangsa banjir tetapi kini terhad oleh peraturan dan cukai, menimbulkan kebimbangan tentang keberkesanan dan kelancaran penghantaran bantuan. -Agensi

the affected victims last time forced their TNI go away from helping them as they were too late to help.

Do they have proper mechanics to track anddifferentiate between normal goods import and natural disasters donated goods?

Otherwise some greedy businessmen could exploit disasters as way to avoid tax on imported goods for business.

Luckily didnt buy their Kalibre bags

Was shopping for a fanny pack for 12.12 and saw their Kalibre Obscura , pretty damn good looking and useful but retardedly expensive

That bag was rm150, so I went googling and saw that Kalibre was an Indonesian company...cibai lapsap cuntry lapsap company but pricing macam yahudi. I ended up buying touch power since it's only rm27, plenty compartment also

gomen Probowo memang gilerr

That is why they like to do silly thinga on tiktok to earn loving..sadly

Just like here, exemption often abuse to hell.

Joget joget

Reading this post make my brain hang for a moment. The post about indonesia but its in Malay and since i read it end up this word is meaning in malay Indonesia

gov x nak tolong tapi donation still nak songlap

Taxation is theft.

they don't need others help why we so busybody keep wanting to help? just let their citizen suffer and boil to a raging stage to riot like the previous time loh.
