        "content": "<p>Golkar Party faction leader Muhammad Sarmuji praised the significant\nimprovement in the 2026 Hajj services compared to previous years. The\nassessment was based on Sarmuji\u2019s direct observations while performing\nHajj as an ordinary pilgrim in 2026 and inspecting several sectors of\nIndonesian Hajj pilgrims in the Holy Land. Sarmuji, in a statement\nreceived in Jakarta on Thursday, said that in 2023 he served as a member\nof the DPR RI Hajj Supervisory Team (Timwas) and witnessed various\nissues in Hajj management, including catering, accommodation, and\ntransport. Now, having returned to the Holy Land in a different\ncapacity, he felt encouraging changes. \u2018In 2023, I was a member of the\nHajj Supervisory Team and we encountered numerous issues with catering,\naccommodation, and transport. This year, as an ordinary pilgrim, I\nvisited several Indonesian Hajj sectors. Alhamdulillah, there has been a\nsignificant improvement in services,\u2019 he said. In his visit to three\nIndonesian Hajj sectors, Sarmuji directly questioned pilgrims about the\nservices they received. No major complaints were found. Moreover, the\npeak rituals in Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina proceeded relatively\nsmoothly. \u2018I asked pilgrims in three sectors. On average, there were no\nsignificant issues with this year\u2019s Hajj management. Similarly, the\nexecution in Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina was relatively smooth and\nwell-controlled,\u2019 he said. The Golkar Party secretary-general noted\npositive remarks on the Hajj officials\u2019 performance, which he deemed\nmore disciplined and professional than in previous years. \u2018Hajj\nofficials were more disciplined this year compared to past years. They\ncarried out their duties well,\u2019 Sarmuji said. The East Java legislator\nsincerely appreciated the government, particularly the Ministry of Hajj\nand Umrah, for their efforts in year-on-year improvements. He stated\nthat the quality improvements experienced directly by pilgrims are\ntangible proof of the government\u2019s seriousness in providing the best\nservices for Indonesia\u2019s guests of Allah. \u2018Because I was present not as\nan overseer, I could feel what the pilgrims truly experienced, and what\nI felt was much better service. This achievement must be honestly\nacknowledged\u2014the Ministry of Hajj has worked hard and the results are\nevident,\u2019 he added. He hopes the positive momentum continues and\nimproves in future Hajj services. The Golkar Party faction in the DPR\nRI, he said, will continue to support and monitor Hajj management to\nensure Indonesian pilgrims can perform their worship with devotion,\nsafety, and comfort.<\/p>",
