On Monday, June 22, 2026, BPS-Statistics Sumatera Utara Province organized an Anak Medan mOnday Reaction (AMOR) session at the 5th Floor Hall of BPS-Statistics Sumatera Utara Province.

The materials covered a wide range of topics, including the history of pantun, its variations across different regions of Indonesia, local terms for pantun in Sumatera Utara Province, various types of pantun, examples of pantun, and many other related insights.

Following the presentation, a pantun challenge was held to help participants practice and enhance their ability to compose and recite pantun. Three participants were selected through a spin wheel to take part in the challenge.

Participants who successfully completed the pantun challenge received prizes from the presenters as a form of appreciation for their performance. The prizes were presented by Dadan Supriadi, Head of the General Affairs Division of BPS-Statistics Sumatera Utara Province.
