“The West Sumbawa Maju Education Card Program has reached 12,445 students,” said Amar Nurmansyah during the Eid al-Adha prayer in West Sumbawa on Wednesday.

He detailed the program includes 2,731 kindergarten students, 2,875 primary school students, 3,047 junior high school students, 2,627 senior high school students, and 1,165 university students.

“The Maju Education program has been running for one year since 2025,” he said.

During the event, he also urged everyone to emulate the sacrifices of Prophets Ibrahim and Ismail during Eid al-Adha.

“Eid al-Adha teaches the values of faith, sincerity, sacrifice, and social care,” he said.

He added that true faith is not just spoken, but proven with sincerity and willingness to sacrifice and prioritise the interests of the community.

“The wisdom of sacrifice is not about slaughtering animals, but the higher one’s faith, the greater the concern for communities in need of assistance,” he said.
