Prosecutors in Meranti Echo Anti-Corruption Day through Riau’s Traditional Poetry Culture

Meranti – Poetry is one of the intangible cultural heritages held by Indonesia, especially in the Riau Province. Let’s see how the Meranti District Attorney’s Office uses poetry in commemorating Anti-Corruption Day 2025. In instilling an anti-corruption culture from an early age, the Meranti District Attorney’s Office intentionally organized socialization and visual poetry contests themed around Anti-Corruption, involving high school students in Meranti Islands. After a lengthy process from November 24th to December 1st, the winners of the Malay poetry contest were announced today with the theme ‘Eradicating Corruption for the People’s Prosperity.’ ‘The idea of poetry emerged in anticipation of Harkodia 2025. As we know, poetry has become ingrained in Malay culture,’ said Ricky Makado, Head of the Meranti District Attorney’s Office, to detikSumut on Monday, December 8, 2025.
