Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan said that the community was allowed to conduct the takbiran (recitation of Allah is great) convoys on the Eve of Eid in Jakarta. Surely it is welcomed happily by Jakartans, especially Jakarta Community Alliance (Amarta).

Surely this policy is full of integrity

"Surely this policy is full of integrity," expressed Amarta Chairman, Rico Sinaga, Tuesday (6/4).

He explained that takbiran has become part of the culture from generation to generation before Eid.

"It's a characteristic that needs to be preserved," he explained.

He stressed that takbiran must be done orderly and obey the rules of traffic rules.

"For sure we must take care of each other," he exclaimed.

This policy is the right step thus the order of the takbiran participants can be maintained from the beginning.

"It will be a further task from Transportation Agency to also coordinate with police and army," he told.

RW 05 Chairman, Pinang Ranti Urban Village, Makasar Sub-district, East Jakarta, Mujahirin was pleased with the permissibility of the takbiran.

"I am very happy and appreciate Mr. Anies' policy to allow takbiran," he expressed.

"Our urban village head has already communicated and I immediately coordinated further according to the directions," he stated.
