JAKARTA - Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Basuki Hadimuljono said that the commemoration of Eid al-Adha in 2023 can be interpreted as to instill sincerity in oneself.

One of them, continued Basuki, is the application of sincerity in providing something of the best in us to others, organizations, and the state.

This was conveyed by Basuki after holding the Eid Eid prayer with Mrs. Kartika Basuki Hadimuljono to attend the 1444 Hijri Eid prayer at the As-Salam Mosque of the Ministry of PUPR, Jakarta, Thursday, June 29.

"The point is that the meaning of Eid for all of us is sincerity to do something, to give something of the best of us, not only material, but also thoughts, energy, and hard work," said Minister Basuki.

Especially for PUPR personnel, Basuki gave an example of a large number of PUPR employees serving outside Jakarta who separated from their families who today could not go home. This can also mean sincerity to do the best for the organization, for the people, and for the country.

"I think for all of us, the meaning of sacrifice for all of us is sincerity to do something, to give something of the best of us, to give something not what we don't like, but what we enjoy we give, that's the meaning of sincerity from Eid al-Adha," he said.

At the Eid al-Adha commemoration in 2023, the Ministry of PUPR received 106 sacrificial animals and 125 goats distributed to people in need such as 21 mosques and prayer rooms at the PUPR Ministry housing complex in Jabodetabek, 53 mosques and prayer rooms as well as 17 Islamic boarding schools and orphanages in Jabodetabek and Banten.

Sacrificial animals are also distributed in areas in need such as Bantul, Yogyakarta, Boyolali, Manado, Flores, including the Nusantara State Capital (IKN) area.

This sacrificial animal is a personal donation of employees of the Ministry of PUPR collected by the Ministry of PUPR Sacrifice Committee and administrators of the As-Salam Mosque. The distribution of sacrificial animals is a form of concern / solidarity / cooperation of the Ministry of PUPR's extended family to people in need.
