'Not for Profit': Luhut Opens Up About PCR Business

"To those who can't afford it, to health workers on the front lines, including the Wisma Athlete [Emergency] Hospital," he said.

Luhut said that he always pushed for cheaper PCR tests. For example, in September 2021, he asked for a reduction in the price of antigen tests.

"Several modes of transportation previously used the PCR test as the main requirement," he said.

Luhut also said that the PCR rule was a policy taken on the basis of the risk of transmission from mobility and a decrease in the discipline of health protocols.

"To be honest I'm not used to reporting or showing any kind of donation like this," he said.

However, he said his party concluded that they must explain in detail according to the facts.

"Because there is disinformation whose effect is not only causing noise but fear for those who have a sincere intention to see this country rise from the pandemic," he said.

Luhut also hoped that the spirit of solidarity could be useful for the restoration of a united country.
