(Minghui.org) Due to Falun Dafa’s significant effects in improving physical health and mental well-being, the practice has become increasingly well-known in Indonesia, including among government employees. From the end of October to early December 2025, practitioners in Indonesia held activities in Tanjungpinang, Jakarta, and Batam to introduce the mind and body practice.

Head of Tanjungpinang Sports Agency Welcomes Practitioners

Ruri Friadi, the head of the Tanjungpinang City Youth and Sports Agency, met practitioners on Tuesday afternoon, November 25, 2025. Tanjungpinang is the capital of Riau Islands Province, and is a historic city rich in Malay classical cultural heritage.

During the meeting, the practitioners explained what Falun Dafa is, and the facts about the persecution in China, including the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) forced organ harvesting from living Falun Dafa practitioners. These serious crimes against humanity have recently drawn more and more international attention.

Ruri Friadi welcomed the practitioners’ visit to his office and said he will consider adding Falun Dafa to the Tanjungpinang Youth and Sports Agency’s regular fitness activities in the future. He then invited his staff to participate in an introductory session on the Falun Dafa exercises.

When I followed the movements, I felt energy flowing throughout my body, from my hands to my feet and other parts of my body. I feel energized now.”

About Falun Dafa’s principles – Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance, Anjas said, “I think being patient, thinking about others first, and staying calm are important. When dealing with others there is actually no need to be so emotional. I believe our health will then improve.”

Ismi said, “I feel calmer after doing the exercises. I think Falun Dafa’s principles [Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance] are good for all Indonesians.”

We look forward to your return to the Kampung Jabi Community Health Center in Batam.”
