The Head of MAA Bireuen, Ridwan Khalid, this activity is expected to enable the community to understand and comprehend the customs that have indeed been passed down from generation to generation, and must be maintained until now and into the future.

According to him, what is happening now is that our children no longer know the customs, they do not know what customs are.

"Customs are an important part that must be known by the community and implemented, so that foreign culture does not result in the destruction of our customs," he said.

Ridwan Khalid also hopes for government support, especially in issuing the qanun on customs.

"And we have conveyed that to the government," he said.

Ridwan Khalid hopes that this year the qanun on customs can be completed and it will be a guideline for our children and grandchildren.

"Until now, we do not have a qanun on customs and I have proposed and asked for support from all parties," he concluded.
