JAKARTA - The Christmas celebration for Christians is only a matter of counting the days. Speaker of the DPR Puan Maharani said that the government must guarantee the right to worship all Indonesian people, especially those who celebrate Christmas 2019.
For this reason, Puan requested that the local government or police agencies lend their place and office as an alternative location for those celebrating Christmas.
"The DPR asked the government to provide a place by way of lending government offices to celebrate Christmas for residents who are constrained from doing it," said Puan, in a written statement received by VOI, in Jakarta, Monday, December 23.
In addition, Puan also appealed to the TNI and Polri apparatus to work together to improve security during the Christmas celebration. Not only in churches, personnel must also be located in points that are prone to crime and accidents.
"So that the 2019 Christmas celebrations and the holidays before the New Year 2020 can run safely and comfortably," he added.
The former Coordinating Minister for PMK reminded the public to be able to maintain tolerance and respect for differences, so that the 2019 Christmas celebration can run in a conducive, safe and smooth manner. Not to forget, Puan also said, Merry Christmas to all Christians.
"Hopefully this year's Christmas celebration will run solemnly and smoothly and become a momentum to spread peace in the life of the nation and state," he said.
