M. Nuh added that, Nahdliyin should pay the Kartanu's administration expenses amounted to Rp 8000 and the process of making it would be covered live by TV 9, a local television station owned by the East Java's Regional Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (PWNU).

The cards could be used by Nahdliyin to offset their health care costs at Islamic hospitals in Surabaya which have data of those who make the cards, added M. Nuh.

The NU intellectual also called for the importance of Nahdliyin to have the cards in addition to fostering awareness of data and such awareness-raising activity could be built from an early age through educational institutions.

The 'literacy' of data can foster scientific and critical attitudes. Because, those who are 'literate' of data can be responsibble for their problems in addition to giving them sense of security.
