JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung announced the nominal donation from the public during the 2026 New Year's Eve celebration held by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government at a number of points reaching more than Rp. 2.5 billion. This figure was collected before midnight of the 2026 New Year. However, until 00.00 WIB, donations have reached Rp. 3,005,233,826.
This donation was collected for disaster victims, especially flood and landslide disasters in Sumatra and several other regions in Indonesia. Pramono expressed his gratitude to the people who had donated.
"So at 22.40, the number collected was Rp2,513,679,558. This is entirely the participation of the public of Jakarta and we for that, we say, thank you," said Pramono at the Bundaran HI area, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, December 31.
Pramono said that the donation collected by the DKI Provincial Government through BAZNAS BAZIZ DKI Jakarta will be closed on January 1 at 01.00 WIB or right where the peak event of the New Year 2026 ends. Pramono believes that the total donation that will be collected until the end will continue to increase.
"Because 10 percent of Ancol's revenue will also be donated together with this crisis. For that, let's wait until 24.00 officially later we will also announce the donation," explained Pramono.
Unlike previous years, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government ensured that it would not hold a fireworks festival on New Year's Eve. The decision was taken as a form of empathy for victims of disasters in various regions.
In addition, each series of events is said to be preceded by a joint prayer and reflection at all points of celebration. This step is intended as a collective reflection in welcoming the new year.
As a substitute for fireworks, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has prepared a drone-based video mapping show with a theme of concern for Sumatra and other disaster-affected areas.
"We take this because the main theme is how the people of Jakarta welcome the new year with full attention and also empathy for the people who are now facing disaster," explained Pramono.
Bundaran Hotel Indonesia (HI) is the main point for the New Year's Eve celebration. A number of musicians are scheduled to perform, including d'Masiv, Marion Jola, Feel Koplo, Andmesh, and Gondal Gandul Band. The selection of songs is not only for entertainment, but also carries a message of togetherness and a spirit of revival.
"So once again, the event is simple and empathetic. And we did that. This illustrates the public's desire as well. When I announced that there was no fireworks and firecrackers in Jakarta, the public support was amazing. This is a mirror of that. I am also grateful that this was also followed in an area," he added.
