JAKARTA - Vice President Ma'ruf Amin asked the Hajj officers who were dispatched to serve in the Holy Land during the 2023 Hajj season to really carry out their duties to serve the pilgrims, especially the elderly (elderly).

"I think it's because many of the congregation are elderly, the officers have to work seriously and they do serve, don't let the officers there have their own pilgrimage," said the vice president as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 24.

The vice president asked the hajj officers to provide good service, and not take care of themselves.

"Don't let him not serve, but he goes to Hajj to perform the pilgrimage like a pilgrim, so don't let officers like pilgrims. They should serve the congregation, but they take care of themselves for Hajj, so that's not allowed," he said.

The vice president also advised that the additional hajj quota be taken care of and well prepared so that the additional quota can continue to be added in the following year.

"It is emphasized that all the consequences related to the additional quota, including the issue of the burden of Hajj subsidies, must be considered properly," said Ma'ruf Amin.
