Kapanlagi.com - In commemoration of the Eid al-Adha 1446 Hijri, singer and member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the PDI Perjuangan faction, Once Mekel, shows his concern for the community by distributing sacrificial animals to several mosques in South Jakarta and Central Jakarta. This activity is conducted as a form of gratitude and an effort to strengthen the values of togetherness and tolerance among religious communities.
The distribution of sacrificial animals began on Wednesday (4/7/2025) at the Hidayatullah Mosque, Jalan Pandan RT 10 RW 009, Kramat Pela Village, Kebayoran Baru District, South Jakarta. A goat was handed over directly by Once and received enthusiastically by the mosque management. This moment marked the beginning of a series of distributions to various points in his electoral area.
"Since the distribution of sacrificial animals is carried out in many places, we certainly divide the teams so that they can reach the mosque locations we aim for as planned," said Once, who personally went to several distribution points.
1. The Importance of Sharing
Once emphasizes the importance of sharing during the spiritually and socially meaningful moment of Idul Adha. He sees this momentum as a way to strengthen national ties and a sense of brotherhood.
"Idul Adha is a moment full of spiritual values, social concern, and strengthening brotherhood," he said.
As a member of Commission X of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Once feels a greater responsibility to be present and contribute directly to the community. Moreover, the distribution area is in the electoral district (dapil) where he is trusted as a representative of the people, namely Central Jakarta, South Jakarta, and overseas.
"This moment becomes more special because I can interact directly with the residents in my dapil. This also represents my commitment to fulfilling my mandate as a representative of the people," added Once.
2. Not the First Time

The activity of sharing sacrificial animals is not the first time for Once Mekel. During Idul Adha 1444 Hijriah, he also donated a cow to be sacrificed in the Kebayoran Lama area of South Jakarta. His consistency shows Once's dedication to bringing to life the values of humanity and togetherness in religious celebrations.
Through the distribution of sacrificial animals, Once Mekel wants to continue to uphold the spirit of sharing and mutual assistance within the community. He hopes this small step can inspire many to continue spreading goodness and strengthening the spirit of Pancasila in everyday life.
