JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Vice President Ma'ruf Amin has warned that the subsidy given to lessen the haj costs that have to be paid by pilgrims had been too large. Therefore, haj costs that have to be borne by pilgrims have to be increased to ensure the sustainability of the subsidy given through the Hajj Financial Management Agency or BPKH.

"I think in the past, the subsidy of 59 percent given for haj costs was too big. That’s why investment returns of the haj funds [managed by BPKH] have taken up a lot,” Vice President Amin said in Jakarta on Wednesday.
