TANGERANG SELATAN - Mayor of South Tangerang, Benyamin Davnie forbade joint open activities for officials to staff. This is based on a circular letter from the President of the Republic of Indonesia.

"We have appealed to officials not to open together with staff either in a restaurant or private house," Benjamin told reporters in South Tangerang, Monday, March 27.

However, he allowed breaking it together with the residents. Because according to him it is not included in the prohibition count. "(Open together) Residents are invited, don't think anything is a problem. Residents are not counted," he said.

Benjamin assessed that from officials to staff of the South Tangerang City Government to hold iftar together, it is better if the budget is given to the underprivileged or orphans. "If there is a joint opening, it is better for the compensation of orphans," he concluded.
