JAKARTA - The Head of Petamburan Urban Village, Setiyanto, estimates that 10,000 people will gather in the area around the house of the high priest of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Rizieq Shihab. This is because, on Saturday, November 14, tomorrow there will be activities, namely the marriage of Rizieq's child, Najwa Shihab and the commemoration of the Prophet's birthday.

"It is estimated that the permit letter is 10 thousand (invitees, red)," Setiyanto told reporters, Friday, November 13.

He said, the two events would be held simultaneously. It's just not known whether the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan will attend or not at the event.

Furthermore, ahead of the event, currently in the vicinity of Petamburan, said Setiyono, tents were being installed.

In addition, it is planned that the Transportation Agency will close roads at KS Tubun, Jakarta to welcome these two events.

Meanwhile, regarding the potential for crowds, Setiyanto said he gave an appeal for the implementation of health protocols to prevent COVID-19 in the form of posters. According to him, the appeal will not be given directly because of the crowd of people to come.

"Because of the large number of people, at least we can only appeal through banners for the implementation of 3M. Most importantly, the use of masks might be better prepared," he said.

"The committee has also prepared masks for congregation who do not bring masks, they will be given masks," he added.

Previously, Rizieq arrived in Indonesia on Tuesday, November 10 from Saudi Arabia after living there for more than 3 years. He is noted to be carrying out a number of activities including marrying off his daughter, Najwa Shihab.

Based on the notification received by VOI, Rizieq will marry off his son to Irfan Alaydrus on Saturday, November 14, 2020 at around 19.30 WIB, at the same time commemorating the Prophet's birthday.
