TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan was having a virtual gathering with his family. The occasion was shared through his Instagram account @aniesbaswedan at around 8:35 AM Western Indonesia Time.
"Usually during Eid Al-Fitr, the family gathered at our house. But since there is a pandemic, so the gathering is digital," Anies said on Sunday, May 24, 2020.
On the first day of Eid Al-Fitr, Anies still gathers with his core family members. From Tempo's observation, Anies' wife Fery Farhati Ganis, and his four children are waiting for a virtual gathering using Zoom application. Anies' mother Aliyah Rasyid Baswedan was also present in Anies' house in Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta.
While waiting for his other relatives, the former education minister conducted a live Instagram broadcast. He can also be seen greeting his families in Cibubur, Rempoa, Bandung, Warung Buncit, and even Melbourne through Zoom application.
"Today is unique because usually when Eid Al-Fitr, we shake hands and meet in person. This is the first time we have a remote Eid Al-Fitr," Anies explained.
