JAKARTA - PAN Chairman Zulkifli Hasan attended a Ramadan activity entitled PANDa'i which was held by the PAN DPP. PANDa'i itself is an Islamic-based smart competition for high school students and equivalent throughout Indonesia with a total prize of hundreds of millions of rupiah.

"Yes, this is the first time I have congratulated you on carrying out the holy Ramadan, fasting, the holy month of Ramadan. Hopefully our fasting, all our religious acts, will be accepted by Allah SWT. Well, the National Mandate Party as a reformist party, continues to educate in various fields. Especially to build the morals of the community. Especially for young people, because our children are the future of Indonesia, our future," said Zulkifli Hasan in his speech at the PAN DPP Office, Jakarta, Thursday, March 12.

"We build the character. The character has religious education, then national insight, and others. Starting from an early age. Well, this is what PAN, PAN DPP, called PAN Da'i, which works together with the above, various PAN in the region, to train and develop our students, besides having skills, also provide character education," he continued.

According to Zulhas, Islamic morals will be a guide for today's young people, where now their socializing has spread along with technological developments. "Even sometimes the news, words, even gossip that we used to consider taboo, is now something ordinary. Gossip, slander people, talk about something that is not true, and so on and so forth," he said.

"Therefore, what we do at the National Mandate Party, this PAN Da'i is so that we return to values, spiritual values, Indonesian values, or what we know as Akhlakul Karimah," continued the Coordinating Minister for Food.

Zulhas hopes that this activity does not stop here. He also proposed that the activity be broadcast live on television so that Islamic preaching can be heard and seen by people throughout the country. In fact, Zulhas is ready to allocate a budget to support the promotion of this activity.

"So if we can use TV next year, Mas Eko. If here you can't see people. If streaming is a little bit. But if it is broadcast everyone will be able to see. It was made several times and several episodes, approximately," he said.

For this smart competition prize, PAN has prepared cash for the first place winner of Rp. 30 million, second place Rp. 20 million, third place Rp. 15 million, and the hope of 1 to 3 each Rp. 5 million.

"Well, I heard the prize, what is the number one prize? 30? Let's raise it! The number one prize is Rp. 40 (million). The number two prize is 30. The number three prize is 25. What was the next prize? Hope 1, 2, 3 each 5 million so 10 million, 10 million, 10 million," he said.

Not enough, Zulhas gave one tablet for each participant who passed the final round. Each group consists of 3 people so that the total number of tablets to be given is 18 for the champion 1 to the champion of hope 3.

"What else do you want to give Mas Eko as a gift? 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, how many people? Three-three-three. Each of them gets one tablet. Later I'll give it to you, one tablet. 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, so nine. Oh, responsibility. 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, hope 1, hope 2, hope 3, each of them can get one tablet," said Zulhas.

After the event, Zulhas added that next year, PAN will still hold the PANDa'i event. "In fact, we will make it even wider, even bigger. Yesterday, besides PANDai, what did we do yesterday, we were also smart and careful, which was also smart and careful. Yesterday, political training, political training, we continue to train young people so that the next generation is much better than us. Yes, free political school was also yesterday, we did education," concluded Zulhas.
