Aqil said, for UMK actors who have not received a facilitation quota in July 2022, there is no need to be discouraged.

"Last August BPJPH again opened Sehati facilitation phase 2 with a quota of 324,834. So those who haven't had the chance to participate in phase one, register now," said Aqil.

Sehati registration phase 2 is carried out through ptsp.halal.go.id until September 17, 2022. "Until yesterday, there were only nine thousand new registrants. So there are still many opportunities," he said.
