EAST LOMBOK - Deputy Chairman of the Coordinator of the National Winning Team (TPN) Ganjar-Mahfud, Tuan Guru Bajang (TGB) HM Zainul Majdi asked the public to make the moment of the 2024 General Election a place for fastabiqul khairat or competing in kindness.

"The election struggle is not a war to bring down each other. We must not on social media blaspheme, bring down honor, let alone slander other candidates," said TGB while attending a recitation and prayer event for Ganjar-Mahfud at GOR Hamzanwadi, Pancor, East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, January 13.

The National Daily Chair of the Perindo Party continued, the contestation of the presidential election is not an event to bring down each other, including when on social media.

He invited the public to be wiser in social media.

Especially now, said TGB, has entered the month of the King. Rajab is the month of Allah which is great. His glory and virtue are not rivaled by other months. This month it is forbidden to fight or be hostile to others.

"So remember, understand, right? So if someone is swearing and insulting, just let it go. Be careful, if you can't just let it go," he told all the audience.

Therefore, the Governor of NTB for the period 2008-2018 invited all elements of society to continue to maintain the spirit of peace in Indonesia ahead of the voting later.

He said the presidential election was a place to compete in ideas and vision and mission, not bring down each other.

"We continue to care for the spirit of peace, that's why we go through this process with hard work without dropping, without swearing, let alone slandering others," he said.
