Compared to last year, there was a 20 percent increase in the number of participants, said Samirwan.

“Given the development of technology, in the future it is recommended that the Tilawatil Quran Month be held, where one month the selection of participants is carried out by the committee via telephone or internet channels, then for the next selection the Tilawatil Quran Week will only be carried out live, this is to filter the talents that have been hidden so far,” Ismail suggested. reported by bukittinggi.go.id.
