JAKARTA - Gunung Mas Regency, Central Kalimantan, intends to break the record for the Indonesian Museum of Records (MURI) to install the most banners about the declaration of war against narcotics, and psychotropics and illegal drugs.

"The effort to break the MURI record is carried out in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the local district which falls on June 21, 2022. It also declares war on drugs", said Gunung Mas Jaya Regent, S Monong, in Kuala Kurun, Monday, June 13, quoted from Antara.

It is planned that there are 5,020 banners about the war on drugs will be installed. This number represents the number 5,000 aimed at breaking the MURI record and the number 20 is adjusted to the 20th anniversary of Gunung Mas Regency.

The regent said that the banners that were installed would later be designed with a narrative of the war against drugs, both in Indonesian and in local languages.

Still, on the anniversary of Gunung Mas Regency, there will also be an office cleaning competition, a speech competition with the theme of drug prevention and eradication, and a march singing competition for the National Narcotics Agency (BNN).

"For a speech competition with the theme of drug prevention and eradication, the plan is specifically for junior high and high school students", he said.

One of the 20th anniversary series of Gunung Mas Regency currently underway is the Regents Cup Championship soccer tournament centered on the Kuala Kurun Isen Mulang Field, since May 18, 2022.

Currently, the Regent Cup Championship has entered the quarter-finals. He also reminded the teams that competed in the quarter-finals to always uphold sportsmanship.

"To the supporters of each team, I ask them to maintain order and security, and to obey the health protocols", said Jaya S Monong.
