On the 12th day of Ramadan, the Regent of Natuna, Cen Sui Lan, along with the 1446 H Ramadan Safari delegation, visited Al-Taqwa Mosque in Kelarik Utara Village, Bunguran Utara District, on Wednesday night (March 12).
Accompanying the Regent in this Ramadan Safari delegation were the Chairman of the Natuna Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), the Regional Secretary, members of the Regional Leadership Coordination Forum, heads of Regional Government Organizations (OPD), and several staff members.
The hosts of the event included the Head of Bunguran Utara District, the Head of the Office of Religious Affairs, the local security officer (Babinkamtibnas), the Village Head and the Village Consultative Body, as well as community leaders, religious leaders, and worshippers of Al-Taqwa Mosque in Kelarik Utara Village.
The event began with a communal iftar (breaking of the fast), followed by Maghrib and Isha prayers in congregation. After performing the Tarawih prayers together, the evening continued with an Islamic sermon.
In her speech, Cen Sui Lan acknowledged that Bunguran Utara is one of the districts with significant potential for coconut commodities. Moreover, the current price of coconuts is quite promising, ensuring long-term economic benefits for the community.
In line with this, Cen Sui Lan shared exciting news, particularly for the people of Bunguran Utara District, regarding the plan of a national conglomerate (Salim Group) to invest in the Kelarik area.
This initiative reflects the local government’s commitment to accelerating regional development, optimizing local potential, and creating job opportunities for the community.
According to her, considering Natuna’s geographical characteristics, coconuts can thrive in almost all areas and have great potential for further development. Looking ahead, it is highly feasible for Natuna to focus on the hybrid coconut plantation sector, complemented by the establishment of a processing plant. (Pro_kopim/Patli)
