The Head of Indonesia's National Nutrition Agency (BGN), Sudaryono, has declared a firm stance against employees who are not fully committed to their roles, stating that those working with "half a heart" will be removed. This directive comes as the agency focuses on its "Free Nutritious Meal" (MBG) program.

Everyone can be replaced, including me, including everyone here, yes, everyone can be replaced. There are millions out there who want the position of P3K (Government Employee with Work Agreement) head of the SPPG kitchen.

— SudaryonoEmphasizing the replaceable nature of all positions within the agency.

During a weekly meeting with heads of the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) via Zoom, Sudaryono stressed that no position is indispensable. "Everyone can be replaced, including me, including everyone here, yes, everyone can be replaced. There are millions out there who want the position of P3K (Government Employee with Work Agreement) head of the SPPG kitchen," he stated.

Sudaryono's message was clear: the agency is looking for a dedicated team. "So I ask, let's remove people who have bad hearts, it's time for us to clean up, we have a new team. Then this new team is a team that truly wants to work with heart," he urged. This call for renewed commitment aims to ensure the effective implementation of the MBG program.

So I ask, let's remove people who have bad hearts, it's time for us to clean up, we have a new team. Then this new team is a team that truly wants to work with heart.

Furthermore, Sudaryono announced disciplinary action for those absent from the mandatory weekly meetings without valid reasons. "Those who are absent, there is no reason for their absence, so that we can give them a warning letter. To the Head of Human Resources, to give a warning letter, then for the next one, you can be transferred anywhere. Don't feel like you are irreplaceable," he warned. The agency is initiating a clear-out to foster a more dedicated and efficient workforce.

Those who are absent, there is no reason for their absence, so that we can give them a warning letter. To the Head of Human Resources, to give a warning letter, then for the next one, you can be transferred anywhere. Don't feel like you are irreplaceable.
