"63 participants passed and began attending medical check-ups for three days. PHD candidates who pass the health examination will take part in technical guidance at the Pondok Gede Haji Dormitory," she expressed, Monday (2/5).

Previously, the quota from Jakarta consisted of 7,863 Hajj pilgrims and 63 regional Hajj officers based on the Religion Minister's  Decree Number 105/2023 on the Indonesian Hajj Quota for 1445 Hijri/2024.

She went on to say that the Jakarta Provincial Government would keep supporting the implementation of the Hajj, as it was in accordance with Central Government policy that the Hajj was a national duty which involved the Regional Government in it.

It was an opportunity for PDH candidates to be part of the people serving Hajj pilgrims, as Jakarta officers are known to be capable and equipped with various facilities.

She added the Jakarta Government would also continue to be committed to providing support and facilitation to Hajj pilgrims from Jakarta.

"A good officer doesn't only have cognitive and academic abilities, but is able and cares about his fellow officers, the surrounding environment and future Hajj pilgrims," she closed.
