Besides to help our brothers and sisters, this donation is also a form of reward to those who have shared their knowledge and power for goodness,” uttered Head of South Jakarta BAZIS, Sutriana Leila, Thursday (7/17).

Meanwhile, South Jakarta Mayor Syamsuddin Noor told that with this donation, it could develop a greater sense of belonging.

“By giving alms, we could develop a greater sense of belonging with others. In the future, the amount (of donation) needs to be increased, especially since this year South Jakarta gets first rank as most alms collector throughout Jakarta,” he stated.
