Muslim, Christian To Lustre Up Ambon New Year's Eve Celebration
Ambon, Maluku ( Berita ) : Hundreds of Muslim and Christian actors
and actresses are scheduled to lustre up a New year's eve celebration at
Merdeka Square here on Saturday evening.
Frangky Mewar, coordinator of the the New Year's Eve celebration
said here on Thursday the event would be staged in accordance with a directive
from Maluku Governor Karel Albert Ralahalu.
He said the participation of Muslim and Chritian actors and
actresses in the festivity was intended to strengthen the reconciliation
process following the sectarian clashes in the period between January 19, 1999
and 2002 which claimed more than 5,000 lives and left tens of thousands
homeless.
"The reconciliation process has so far run well but the
participation of the actors and actresses of both religions in the celebaration
is expected to be a good momentum for better interaction between local Muslims
and Christians to further boost the restoration of peaceful conditions in the
province," he said.
He said the music at the party would be produced by a mixture of
traditional and mordern instruments with Muslim and Christian nuances as have
always characterized Maluku culture.
"We have been instructed by the governor to revive the traditional
culture of Maluku as an asset to develop the tourist sector in the province,"
Frangky said, adding that the New Year's Eve party would also be enlivened by
fire crackers to be provided by the provincial administation.
The participation of Muslim and Christian actors and actresses in
the event was also supported by the chairmen of provincial Indonesian Ulema
Council (MUI) Idrus Toekan, the chairman of the Maluku Protestant Church Synod
Rev John Ruhulesin and Amboina Diocese Bishop P. C. Mandagie.
The relgious leaders said the New Year's Eve celebration would
hopefully help to make the outside world realize that the conflict that
engulfed Maluku in the past was not religiously motivated although the
protagonists used religious symbols to spark the emotions of followeres of
different religions.
They said the people of Maluku would no longer be provoked in the
same way because they now realize that their past conflict had brought them
nothing but untold misery and suffering. (ant
