Jakarta, CNN Indonesia - The Governor of Aceh Irwandi Yusuf allowed his citizens to celebrate Valentine's Day which falls on February 14 tomorrow. According to Irwandi, the day of love can be celebrated for not excessive.
"Actually, the celebration of the origin should not be excessive, the law is permissible, mubah, as long as it does not break the law," said Irwandi at the Vice President's Office, Jakarta, Tuesday (13/2).
(^_^) If I think the celebration is a celebration passed by the Shari'a or that is related to Islam. Well if it's like this ??? "
Reflecting on the celebration of the new year yesterday, Irwandi also did not issue a ban for citizens to celebrate.
According to Irwandi, at that time there were only two districts / cities that gave an appeal not to celebrate the new year.
"It appeals, can not prohibit New Year's celebration does not violate the law, but should be considered the advice of other people who do not like celebration," he said.
(^ _ ^) The leader must be a guide, not as if he were on the side of a people with many followers or many opinions of the people. "
He also reminded the district / city government in the province of Aceh so as not to ban people who want to celebrate valentine.
This is different from the prohibition issued by the Regent of Aceh Besar Mawardi Ali. Through his letter to the sub-district head, headmaster, and hotel and restaurant manager, Mawardi prohibits velentine celebrations in his territory because it is incompatible with the Islamic Shari'a.
(^_^) Well ,,,
Mawardi also requested that the community report to the satpol PP and sharia police if they find the celebration of valentine's day in the region
