Since its completion last November, many villagers have wanted to utilize the Jetty; but are still hesitant to use it, as the official handed over ceremony has not yet been conducted. "The people want to use the Jetty, but we've stopped them as the Jetty has not been officially handed over to us by Islamic Relief", said Muhammad Harbi, the Camat of Pulau Banyak Barat sub-district.
M.Taufik Hidayat, Islamic Relief's Project Coordinator for the Sustainable Se Fisheries for Simeleu and Singkil (SSFSS) Program urges the people to use the Jetty although the handover ceremony has not yet been conducted."We built the Jetty to meet the needs of the villagers so please use it," he said. Furthermore, the Jetty needs to be use to test its strength.
After receiving the green light, the Camat said that they would soon hold a blessing ceremony or "kenduri laut". The aim is to thank Allah (Blessed be his Name) and ask for safety from Allah so that the Jetty will bring blessing and safety to the villagers.
