JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri said Indonesia needs young people who have the courage and role models like the family of Prophet Ibrahim AS to fight corruption.

Then, this action became the activity of throwing a jumrah in one of the procedures for carrying out the pilgrimage in the holy land of Makkah Al Mukaramah.

"Human greed is essentially a manifestation of our inability to control and control our desires and passions so that we become greedy like a mouse, never satisfied, always feeling lacking with what we have," he said.

"By imitating the story of Prophet Ibrahim AS and Ismail AS, especially the Prophet Muhammad SAW, the essence and meaning of Eid al-Adha and maintaining anti-corruption morality, let's celebrate Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice simply, worship with family at home," added the former Deputy The prosecution.

Firli also asked the public to always pray to Allah so that Indonesia can win the war of badr against corruption.

"Keep celebrating Eid by staying in touch with relatives, family, friends, friends through face-to-face via online, and always praying for the presence of Allah SWT in this nation's war of badr against corruption in the Republic of Indonesia," he concluded.
