People pray at Dharma Bhakti Temple, Petak Sembilan, Glodok, Tamansari, Jakarta on Friday (16/2).

REMBANG, KOMPAS – There were jubilant celebrations of Chinese New Year 2569 in cities across the country from Thursday (15/2/2018) to Friday (16/2). People of many religions and ethnicities participated in the celebrations and called all social elements in Indonesia to strengthen national harmony, tolerance and solidarity.

The regent of Rembang in Central Java, Abdul Hafidz, attended the annual Imlek celebration in Lasem, which locals also call “Little China”. Diversity does not create division here, but unites everyone instead. “Therefore, all cultures in Lasem must be nurtured to help develop Rembang regency and Central Java,” Hafidz said.
