TANJUNGPINANG - The Mayor of Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands (Kepri), Rahma invited the public to hold a mobile takbir on the night of Eid al-Adha, Sunday, July 10. "Please hold a takbir around together, voice takbir to Allah SWT at Eid al-Adha night," Rahma said in Tanjungpinang, quoted from Antara, Friday, July 8. Rahma said the city government also plans to carry out mobile takbiran parades even though it is not budgeted for the APBD. He invited all his staff to participate in the implementation of mobile takbiran using four and two-wheeled vehicles owned by each Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD). "For OPDs who have cars, loris, pickups, and motorbikes, they can be taken down to participate in the takbiran parade. We are excited about Islamic symbols in Tanjungpinang," said Rahma. He also invited mosque administrators and the community to participate in enlivening the takbiran parade around Eid al-Adha night with the Tanjungpinang City Government. "However, earlier, this activity was not budgeted. Similar to the takbiran around Eid yesterday, there was no budget but it was still implemented," said Rahma. Rahma hopes that this year's Eid al-Adha momentum will further increase the values of piety to Allah SWT, as well as a form of gratitude for the gifts delegated to the community, especially in Tanjungpinang.
