        "summary": "Ahmad Luthfi has emphasised that the opening ceremony of the National MTQ in Central Java will be open to the general public to avoid an air of exclusivity. Preparations are nearing completion, with officials ensuring that facilities and public viewing areas are maximised for all citizens.",
        "content": "<p>Luthfi expressed this commitment while inspecting the readiness of\nthe opening ceremony venue. He stated that he does not want this major\nreligious event to appear closed or restricted to a specific group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout reducing the procession of the delegations or other\nelements, our community should be allowed to enter so that it does not\nappear exclusive,\u201d Luthfi said in a written statement on Friday\n(11\/09\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>During the field inspection, Luthfi was accompanied by the Regional\nSecretary (Sekda) of Central Java Province, Sumarno. The two inspected\nthe suitability of the main stage and the rows of delegation tents in\nthe Simpang Lima area. The inspection also targeted several supporting\nfacilities in the courtyard of the Central Java Governor\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p>Following the inspection, Luthfi immediately led a final readiness\nmeeting with the organising committee. The meeting was also attended by\nthe Vice Governor of Central Java, Taj Yasin Maimoen. The Governor\nre-instructed the committee to provide spacious and adequate space for\nthe general public.<\/p>\n<p>The involvement of the wider community is considered an important\nindicator of Central Java\u2019s success as the host. Supporting facilities\nhave been requested to be maximised immediately so that residents who\ncannot be accommodated in the main area can still follow the\nproceedings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf necessary, the videotron at the Regional Police Headquarters\n(Polda) should also be turned on,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to opening public access as widely as possible, Luthfi\nrequested that the committee guarantee the comfort of all delegations.\nMaximum service must be provided from the moment participants arrive,\nthroughout the competition, until they return to their home regions.\nCross-agency coordination has been requested to be strengthened to\nensure the Ta\u2019aruf night and the opening ceremony proceed in an orderly\nmanner.<\/p>\n<p>Vice Governor and Chairman of the Quran Recitation Development\nInstitute (LPTQ) of Central Java, Taj Yasin Maimoen, ensured that\npreparations are nearing 100 per cent. His office is now focused on\nconducting dress rehearsals and finalising adjustments to public\nareas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are slight changes so that the general public can attend and\nenjoy the event directly at Simpang Lima on Saturday night,\u201d said Taj\nYasin.<\/p>\n<p>The committee is confirmed to utilise videotron facilities at several\nstrategic points around the Simpang Lima area. These large screens will\nbroadcast the opening ceremony live. This facility has been\nintentionally prepared to accommodate the enthusiasm of residents\nwishing to see the gathering of Al-Qur\u2019an experts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe videotrons have been prepared; we just need to upload the\ninformation later so the public is aware,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Regional Secretary of Central Java, Sumarno,\nemphasised that all facilities have been maximised through the use of\nprovincial government assets. All Regional Government Organisations\n(OPD) have also been specifically tasked to assist the delegations. This\nstep has been taken to ensure the complete comfort of all participants\nthroughout the National MTQ event.<\/p>",
