Police Chief Extends Eid al-Fitr Greetings and Commits to Continuous Improvement of the National Police
National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has extended Eid al-Fitr greetings for 1446 Hijriah, or Lebaran 2026, to all Indonesians. The Police Chief is committed to the continuous improvement of the National Police for better performance.
“As the takbir echoes across the nation, welcoming this sacred day and striving for more meaningful goodness. We are present among the people, keeping life moving, nurturing hope, and striving for a brighter future,” said Sigit on his Instagram social media account on Friday (20/3/2026).
In this Eid al-Fitr atmosphere, the Police Chief stated that the welfare of the people must continue to be maintained. Sigit assessed that the dedication of the National Police is not only about fulfilling duties but also helping and protecting the community.
“In various aspects of life, welfare must be continuously safeguarded so that children can grow up healthy and the nation’s future becomes stronger. Dedication is not merely carrying out tasks, but protecting lives, helping fellow citizens rise, and fostering care,” said Sigit.
The Police Chief emphasised the National Police’s commitment to escorting and safeguarding citizens celebrating Eid al-Fitr with their families. In addition, Sigit committed the National Police to improving and becoming more integrity-driven.
“As millions of steps return home, we are present to escort the journey, so that happiness arrives safely, and families can gather in joy. We commit to continuous improvement, working better, sincerely, and with integrity, to provide a sense of security for all Indonesian people,” said Sigit.
“On behalf of the entire National Police family and Bhayangkari, I extend Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah greetings. Minal aidin wal faizin, please forgive my physical and spiritual shortcomings,” he concluded.
The government previously set 1 Syawal 1447 Hijriah, or Lebaran 2026, to fall on 21 March 2026. This determination was decided based on the results of the isbat session held by the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag).
The isbat session for determining 1 Syawal 1447 Hijriah was held at the Ministry of Religious Affairs office on Jalan MH Thamrin, Central Jakarta, on Thursday (19/3). Minister of Religious Affairs Nasaruddin Umar directly led the isbat session.
The isbat session was attended by leaders of Commission VIII of the DPR, leaders of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), Director General of Islamic Guidance, and representatives of other Islamic organisations. The determination was made after the session participants heard presentations on the results of crescent moon monitoring.
“Thus, based on the results of calculations and no reports of the crescent moon being sighted, it is agreed that 1 Syawal 1447 Hijriah falls on Saturday, 21 March 2026,” he stated.
