00:00
[Pelayani] Dato Putuwa, the government has reconsidered continuing the PLKN.
00:09
The Ministerial Committee in 2021 has approved a new way to continue the PLKN.
00:21
The PLKN is a good way to provide a foundation for the country's order to our citizens.
00:31
A special committee has been established by the Ministry of Defence to study
00:40
how we revive the PLKN, but with a new template.
00:48
We are not following the old template, where the PLKN was done in summer camps.
01:01
We want to make it less costly, but more beneficial to the human capital
01:15
that will be part of the PLKN.
01:18
The Ministry of Defence has given several opinions to the Ministry
01:28
and we have asked for a change until the Ministry sees that participation in school is important.
01:42
Not only after school, but also during the first and second phase of the PLKN.
01:53
After the PM, they will be in the second phase.
01:56
The children born during the second phase of the PLKN will be welcomed by other agencies.
02:07
We are studying this, where under the PLKN, only 16-year-olds, up to 35 years old,
02:19
students in level 4, who are now in the Ministry of Education,
02:24
have a body-uniform curriculum,
02:30
with a body-uniform curriculum,
02:37
and the government can give them a body-uniform curriculum.
02:44
But they will not be in level 5.
02:48
When they are out, we will welcome them.
02:53
But this time, we want to make it in military camps.
03:00
There are many military camps, and many of them are ideal for use.
03:08
So we will train, but it will not take the same time as before.
03:12
We will take 45 days only,
03:16
where 90% of the second phase of the PLKN is already in school.
03:23
In the second phase, we will train the army,
03:27
to build their self-esteem as a strong, energetic, healthy person.
03:33
90% to the army, 10% to the government.
03:39
And we will use military camps.
03:41
There are 13 camps in the country.
03:45
There is one camp in the police training center, Jalan Tembak,
03:49
which can accommodate 4,000 people for one year.
03:54
And we can train more or less 20,000 people,
03:58
for 45 days.
04:02
And the training staff is already there,
04:05
so it's less expensive.
04:08
It's very cheap.
04:09
If we used to spend more than 500 million a year,
04:14
this time, from the paper work,
04:17
by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
04:19
we will not spend more than 100 million.
04:23
Good savings, Mr. President.
