Ninety-one young boys underwent free circumcisions Tuesday at City Hall, provided by the Jakarta administration as part of annual events to commemorate the city's 482nd anniversary.
"There were many more participants, but we only targeted 100 children," said Elfatna, an official at the administration's religious affairs unit.
She added the boys also got free medicine and Rp 500,000 (US$50) each in cash.
The attendance list showed the youngest boy there was less than 3 years old, while the oldest was 13.
Mass circumcisions are commonly held during school holidays.
