INDOBALINEWS - Yandri Susanto, Deputy Speaker of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), stated that this year's Hajj implementation was better than in 2023.
Susanto stated in an official statement received here on Tuesday that he thought this year's Hajj implementation went well, particularly during the peak of Hajj worship in Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina.
