Do Indonesians have a New Year?

Indonesian New Year is different from Chinese New Year. There are several New Years in Indonesia: 1 Jan (New Year) Islamic New Year ( *** New Year) Hari Nyepi (Hindu New Year) Lunar New Year Indonesia *** In order to "no longer discriminate against the Chinese" policy

A few years ago the Chinese Lunar New Year was listed as an official holiday in Indonesia.

For more than three decades, ethnic Chinese Indonesians were unable to express their culture due to former President Suharto's "New Order," which made the use of Chinese characters and the Chinese language illegal, and since then, Lunar New Year has been invisible in Indonesia, with severe consequences for violating the law, including imprisonment or "involuntary disappearance. Thanks to former President Abdurrahman Wahid's abolition of discriminatory policies against ethnic Chinese and minorities in 2000, Chinese Indonesians are now able to express their cultural identity openly, and Wahid and his successor Magawati Soekarnoputri have made the Lunar New Year a national holiday, which is now celebrated by Indonesians of all ethnicities. Today, all ethnic groups in Indonesia participate in this festival. According to the 2000 census, the total number of Chinese in Indonesia was 1.2 million, and some experts believe that the number is even higher (up to 3 million). Because of the widespread intermarriage between Chinese and other ethnic groups, the Chinese make up about 1% to 2% of the country's population, making them one of the top ten ethnic groups in the country (there are more than 300 ethnic groups in the country, with more than 700 different languages and dialects). Due to the large number of Chinese, Indonesia is also a good place to celebrate the Lunar New Year, with a variety of activities and decorations on the streets, in shopping malls, department stores and other entertainment centers, and an even stronger festive atmosphere in the Chinatowns of Indonesia's major cities, including Medan and Jakarta in North Sumatra, Semarang in Central Java, and so on. However, some religious groups insist that *** should be prohibited from wishing others a "Happy Chinese New Year" or even participating in the celebrations, as they do with Christmas. In response, Mohd Yusri Hafiz Yusof, a Malaysian student at the University of Malaya's School of *** Studies, appealed: "There are more than 100 million Chinese *** people who also celebrate the Chinese New Year... God Almighty will not forbid *** to be good, to do good things, to be at peace with others, and to be tolerant of other faiths, such as Judaism, Christianity and so on. *** New Year's Calendar: *** Calendar is a purely lunar calendar, with July 16, 622 AD for the *** religious calendar for the first year of January 1, entirely based on the phases of the moon, whenever the new moon is set as the first day of the month, 12 months for a year, no leap month, leap year in the 12th month plus one day, an average of only 354 days, 8 hours and 48 minutes per year, and the difference between the calendar and the difference of one month in every 2.7 years, and therefore not seasonal. There are no seasons. The date of the Indonesian New Year varies from year to year; there are usually four dates on the Indonesian calendar, representing the Western (AD), Tang (Lunar), Hijri (Indonesian National), and Javanese (Indigenous) calendars. Like Chinese New Year the New Year falls in January and February. The October holiday is Cuti Bersama + Idul Fitri

i.e. *** Eid al-Fitr and its surroundings

In Indonesia, there is a one-week vacation from 23 to 27. If the Indians are *** followers, Eid al-Fitr is equivalent to the New Year, which is a very important holiday. New Year in Indonesia *** New Year Indonesians mostly believe in ***, so their New Year is also based on the *** calendar, which is around December every year. The New Year in Indonesia is also filled with the spirit of the *** New Year. Indonesian New Year is also full of religious characteristics. The month before the New Year is the so-called "*** Ramadan", in which all public activities are suspended (including wars can be temporarily called off), and even entertainment venues are not allowed to open for business, in addition to the worship of the *** true god, Allah. Customs A month before the New Year, Indonesians will begin to fast (Fasting), that is, after the sun rises do not eat until the sun goes down, in order to show piety to the true God Allah. Fasting will continue until the first day of the *** calendar, when the sun goes down, they will hold a grand feast to signal the beginning of a new year and the end of the month of fasting. In addition, the Lunar New Year, collectively known as the Day of Tranquility, is celebrated with a full day of silence and no lights or work, no traffic, and even international airports are closed 24 hours a day. How do Indonesians celebrate the New Year? Sing hymns ? Visit friends and relatives ? To wrap their heads and wear long-sleeved shirts and pants. Image reference: .yimg/iugc/rte/ *** iley_1
