JAKARTA - NasDem Faction DPR member, M Shadiq Pasadigoe, appealed to the Indonesian people to welcome the New Year 2026 with empathy and social concern.
"Celebrating the new year should be done with empathy," said Shadiq, in a written statement, Monday, December 29.
He also invited the public to celebrate the new year in a simple way and not to be overly euphoric, such as holding a convoy or party, considering the many disasters that have occurred in the country recently, especially the floods and landslides that have occurred in many areas in Sumatra.
"Happiness should not make us indifferent to the grief of our brothers and sisters. It is better for us to continue to feel grateful and happy with concern and togetherness," said the legislator from the West Sumatra District I.
Shadiq believes that the people of the country, especially West Sumatra, can respect, appreciate, and maintain unity and order.
"Let's welcome the New Year 2026 with prayer, empathy, and concern. Not with excessive euphoria, but by strengthening solidarity and humanity," he concluded.
