Eid al-Fitr 1447H is now being celebrated across Indonesia with joy and excitement. This special day marking the end of Ramadan is not only about gatherings and delicious food, but also a perfect time to reconnect with family.
Interestingly, the government through the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Kemkomdigi) is encouraging people to celebrate Eid in a more meaningful way—by reducing screen time, especially for children.
This recommendation aligns with Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025 on Electronic System Governance for Child Protection, also known as PP Tunas.

Whoever answers the fastest wins!
2. ABC Game, A Gen Z Favorite
This game is especially popular among millennials and early Gen Z.
