Portraits of SEA Games Athletes & Disabilities Sharing with Verrell Bramasta, Sad Stories of Delayed Salaries to Promises from ASN that Never Arrive

Kapanlagi.com - A touching yet heartbreaking scene occurred at the Indonesian Parliament Building in Jakarta. Verrell Bramasta, an actor who now serves as a member of the Commission X of the Indonesian Parliament, directly received the heartfelt expressions from sports heroes whose fates seem forgotten after bringing honor to the nation. Two groups of athletes came to Verrell to share their complaints.

Disabled athletes, especially 22 athletes from NPCI Bekasi, submitted a request for protection to the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Meanwhile, SEA Games athletes also expressed their disappointment.

1. Disabled Athletes Request Protection

A heartbreaking story comes from the NPCI Bekasi disability athletes. They express that basic rights such as salaries and meal allowances are often paid late, sometimes by months. This certainly dampens their spirits, which should be focused on training.

Not only that, but they also complained about the degradation mechanism that feels unfair. Ultimately, some athletes were unilaterally dismissed after daring to voice their aspirations to the local DPRD. As a result, 22 disabled athletes are now seeking protection from the Ministry of Youth and Sports through Verrell.

2. Complaints of SEA Games Athletes

Meanwhile, an equally sad story comes from the SEA Games medalists from 2019 to 2023. They are demanding the government's promise to elevate them to Civil Servants (ASN), which has yet to be realized.

These athletes are worried that their outstanding achievements will fade over time. They fear that public and government attention will shift to new athletes, while the sweet promises they once received have turned into bitter memories.

3. Firm Stance of Verrell Bramasta

Hearing all the complaints, Verrell Bramasta showed a firm stance. He is committed to bringing all these aspirations to a higher level, namely in an official Working Meeting with the Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora).

"If they can stand on the podium carrying the name of Indonesia, then we should stand with them when their rights are questioned. Athletes, both with disabilities and without, are part of the face of the nation. Do not let them feel alone," asserted Verrell Bramasta.

4. Emphasize Protection and Certainty for Athletes
