Nasaruddin revealed that currently the Ministry of Religion is still studying the work system and the number of Hajj officers from other countries. He said his party made comparisons between Indonesian Hajj officers and other countries.
"We also make a kind of comparison in other countries, how many officers. We are one of the countries that has many officers compared to several other countries," said Nasaruddin.
"But really the work calendar system is very disciplined. So there is monitoring, there is a supervisor. Well, we will certainly learn from the experiences of other countries as well," he continued.
In addition, the Minister of Religion also explained about reducing the day of Hajj guidance, from 10 days to 5 days. Most importantly, he said, prospective pilgrims understand every training material from officers.
