Acting Governor Donates One-Ton Cow for Idul AdhaAfter the prayer, the Acting Governor handed over a limousin-type cow weighing one ton to the Jakarta's Indonesian Civil Service Corps (KORPRI) to be handed over to those in need, namely mustahik.
"Allow me and my family to hand over a cow as a sacrifice to the qurban committee to be handed over to the rightful person. May our worship be accepted and get the pleasure of God," he expressed.
He urged the public to apply the eco-qurban principle when carrying out qurbani processions, namely protecting the environment by not littering and using environmentally friendly containers.
"Yesterday, there was a committee that gave directions and explanations. Hopefully, no one throws waste carelessly. The village chairmen would also be in charge of monitoring," he concluded.
