After the inauguration ceremony, the Regent of Banjar Regency period 2016-2021 KH Khalilurahman revealed has three strategic programs that wish fulfilled to the people of Banjar Regency. The programs are the development of infrastructure, improvement of health services, and improvement of education, be it formal, non-formal and informal. Currently the Banjar Regency is already carrying out infrastructure development that very rapidly. Among them are, Banjar Regency already have Demang Lehman Stadium that is a sports stadium which entered the ranks of the best stadiums in Indonesia, and Iqro Tuan Guru Djazouly Seman Building as a center for the development and learning of the Al-Qur’an in the Banjar Regency.
“The main thing is, we have to build public infrastructure, roads and bridges. We have 1000 km length of roads and more, there are still some roads in the village were damaged or undeveloped. This course will hamper development in the village; I hope the entire village road in Banjar district will be smooth and repair roads become better, “said the Banjar Regent.
In addition to road construction, KH. Khalilurrahman or who are often called Guru Khalil also committed to build a bridge between the villages. He considered, the bridge has a vital role for the community, especially for the smooth flow of transport and goods distribution channels that influence the improvement of the economy of rural communities. We will realize the multipliers effect of economic development of rural areas to cities.
Improved health services also did not escape the attention of the Regent of Banjar. During this health problem such as in health centers (puskesmas) and Ratu Zalecha Hospitals often receive complaints from the public on services and facilities are inadequate. This is certainly a huge homework for the couple of Regional Head to be able to provide maximum health services to the community. He along with his deputy H. Saidi Mansyur visited the Ratu Zalecha hospitals to provide medical assistance to villagers named Ahmad Yani the residents of the village of Tungkaran, Sub-District of Martapura Kota that suffering from kidney stone disease.
“We heard there were poor residents who had to undergo surgical removal of kidney stones. Economic condition of these patients, we feel pity and want to ease the burden on the citizens to provide compensation funds. Hopefully the illnesses recover quickly and the public health of Banjar Regency awake, “please the Regent of Banjar. In order to provide maximum health services, the Regent of Banjar launched one of the policies that must be obeyed by the Ratu Zalecha Hospital. Every citizen of Banjar Regency underprivileged will be given care in classrooms III, in accordance with the conditions and room availability later. “Originally have ID of Banjar Regency, every poor people are entitled to treatment in classrooms III. But they cannot upgrade or increase the status of his room. If they could upgrade the rooms mean they have the money and lied that they belong to disadvantaged communities, “said the Regent.
Not only the services of medical workers be the attention of the Regent. The spotlight was focused on the infrastructure of hospitals. To improve the classification of hospitals, one of the criteria that must be met is complete and adequate facilities, in addition to professional medical workers. “If you want to improve and enhance do not half-hearted, if the service is good but lacking amenities, do so less than optimal,” he said.
When asked about programs for education, Banjar Regent said it would reorganize learning system, but in accordance with the provisions of the government and the characteristics of the students in the Banjar Regency is to further highlight the noble values embodied in learning systems. While still a Member of Parliament, Guru Khalil is one of the originators of the birth of the Constitution No. 20 of 2003. The Constitution is very clear that Guru Khalil wants the educational equity for all levels of society, starting from Early Childhood Education (PAUD) to the highest level.
“Education is a conscious and deliberate effort to create an atmosphere of learning and the learning process, so that learners are actively developing the potential for himself to have the spiritual power of religion, self-control, personality, intelligence, character, skills, society, nation and state, “said Regent. “We can see how the religious life of our society. But unfortunately in our education, especially public schools give just a little time for religious subjects. Yet through religious instruction and civic education we can form a human noble and nationalistic spirit. For that I will try to add hours of religious instruction at public schools in accordance with applicable regulations, ” Guru khalil added.
The Regent of Banjar Regency previously budgeted over 30% of the budget for education. But there are still problems that until now have not been resolved regarding the salaries of the teachers of the religious schools that were deemed to be minimal, although the government has raised the salaries of teachers.
Be it a religious school or a boarding school (Ibtida), is very much in number in the Banjar Regency. Especially in rural areas or village, we would have sought out the religious school of the public schools. Even many of the students in the morning they are public schools, but in the afternoon until the early evening they were studying religion in schools or boarding schools. “Prosperity gap between public school teachers and educators in boarding schools or ibtida are so far. Though they both teach science and to educate children to be smarter. But the salary received for Ibtida School teachers is very cheap, the teach of sincerity that made them endure to educate students, “he said
For build a clean government bureaucracy and in accordance with the expertise possessed by employees, Banjar Regent will conduct an auction of office. This was done to avoid the politics of reciprocation which seemed to be a culture of political actors and leaders in Indonesia. “I do not want the wheel of government be screwed up because on the placement of officials who are not in accordance with the field or expertise. Hopefully, with the auction this position, the officials will be serious in our work and provide innovation to build the Earth Veranda of Mecca and the welfare of our society, “he hope.
“I asked for support and pray from all over the community of Banjar Regency, so that H Saidi Mansyur and I could carry and run this job well. In accordance to religious order and the government in order to build the Banjar Regency to be better and bring prosperity to all people of Banjar Regency, “said Guru Khalil.
