The government is considering calling a two-day holiday for Idul Adha (Day of Sacrifice) after deciding that the Muslim festival falls on June 29, the day after that set by Muhammadiyah, the second-largest Muslim organization in Indonesia.
Islamic organizations, lawmakers and Cabinet ministers have called on regional administrations accommodate requests to hold prayers at public venues for Idul Fitri dates that differ from those set by the government, amid reports of rejections from various local governments.
With Idul Fitri less than a week away, the government has reported a spike in the number of Indonesians on the move, particularly using modes of public transportation, as the country’s biggest mudik (exodus) season yet is almost in full swing.
