According to reporter Xie Menghan: Yesterday (May 12) at the Islamic Scripture Learning Institution in Tongeroog, about 3,000 elementary and middle school students learned to practice Falun Gong. The dean of the Peranmen, Noer Mohammad Lsdandar is a congressman who invited reporters from our newspaper to attend the activity.

The group yesterday was invited by Assiddhiqiyah to join the group practicing classes. Peranmen is an Islamic Scripture Learning Institution. The headquarters of Assiddhiqiyah Peranmen is located at Kedoyn, in Jakarta. A branch of the institution is located at Tongeroog. The two institutions include 3,000 Islamic elementary and middle-school students. The dean of the institution, Dr. HK Noer Mohammad Lsdandar, Sq., is a chief figure of Islam and also a congressman of Indonesia. He said in his opening remarks that Indonesia is now suffering from economic depression. To most middle or lower class Indonesians, inflation, especially with respect to the cost of medical treatment and drugs, is causing suffering, but no one could help. It would be a blessing to the common people if they could achieve mental and physical health improvements through practicing Falun Gong, so the practice should be supported.
He believes that Falun Gong has nothing to do with politics but is a pure practice to improve both mind and body. The Falun Gong books teach people to be good and healthy. This is his conclusion after he read the Falun Gong books.
