People's Bazaar at Monas, Cabinet Secretary: Prabowo's Directive to Share Happiness

President Prabowo Subianto has instructed the organisation of a bazaar and public entertainment for the community in the National Monument (Monas) area, Jakarta. This event is the government’s effort to bring Eid happiness to the wider public.

The event will commence this afternoon from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM WIB. Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya stated that the event is based on the enthusiasm of residents who attended the open house at the Palace last week.

“It started from the high enthusiasm of the public during Eid last week at the Palace; the President wants as many people as possible to share Eid happiness in a warm atmosphere full of togetherness,” said Teddy in his statement.

Various activities and facilities are prepared for the public, from the people’s bazaar to family entertainment. The government is providing 100,000 shopping vouchers for groceries and free goods worth Rp500,000, as well as 300,000 portions of free food served by around 800 street UMKM traders.

In addition, the people’s bazaar also involves traders from various trading centres such as Tanah Abang and Senen, thereby helping to boost the economic circulation of the community. To add to the festivity, the committee has also prepared various attractive prizes, including 1,000 bicycles and 100 electric motorbikes as doorprizes for visitors.

Furthermore, various entertainments are present, from children’s games to a public entertainment stage featuring several music groups. The event, taking place at the Monas Intersection from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM WIB, is expected to become a space for togetherness for all levels of society.

“This Eid is not just about tradition, but about bringing happiness and togetherness for everyone,” said Teddy.
