"I'm trying to build togetherness. How do the residents participate in building support and providing assistance to others, to those who don't have it. I quote the statement from the Deputy Regent (Bong Ming Ming) that the people of West Bangka used to be very tolerant and have high solidarity. This is the strength of Indonesia, solidarity, and high tolerance," said Social Minister Risma.

 

The Governor of Bangka Belitung, Erzaldi Rosman Djohan said that his party welcomed the HKSN celebration in his region. "It is a blessing for us, especially West Bangka as the host of HKSN. The presence of the Minister of Social Affairs is not just a ceremonial presence," he said.
