Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. A viral social media post circulating on Facebook alleging that a lawmaker and daughter of former President Soeharto, Titiek Soeharto, agreed to convert the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program into direct cash disbursements has been confirmed as hoax..
According to verification findings published by turnbackhoax.id, comprehensive searches across credible sources found no valid statement or record indicating that Titiek endorsed replacing the meal distribution scheme with cash. Fact-checkers noted that identical recycled disinformation had previously circulated under the names of other public figures before being re-uploaded with Titiek's name substituted.
Official records from the House of Representatives (DPR) portal (dpr.go.id) confirm that Titiek has consistently supported the continuation of direct nutritious meal distribution under the MBG program, emphasizing that the initiative should continue rather than be halted while programmatic evaluations are underway following recent food poisoning incidents.
Furthermore, the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has officially affirmed that the Free Nutritious Meal program is strictly distributed in the form of prepared meals and is never disbursed as cash.
Accordingly, the narrative claiming Titiek supports monetizing the MBG program is completely fabricated disinformation.
