印度尼西亚的梅丹(Medan)已取消除夕庆庆典, 原因是公众反对在持续从致命的洪水和山崩中恢复的过程中举办豪华节日。 Medan, Indonesia, has canceled its New Year’s Eve celebrations due to public backlash over holding a lavish festival amid ongoing recovery from deadly floods and landslides. 该活动原计划包括音乐会和烟花，耗资12亿印尼盾，但最终被取消，取而代之的是祈祷、带灾害影响视频和环境意识的守夜活动以及筹款活动。 The event, which would have included concerts and fireworks at a cost of 1.2 billion rupiah, was scrapped in favor of subdued activities like prayers, a vigil with videos on disaster impacts and environmental awareness, and fundraising. 这一决定是在广泛批评对数千名流离失所者和数以百计在灾难中死亡的人麻木不仁之后作出的,官员们引述了公众的情绪和人道主义关切。 The decision follows widespread criticism over insensitivity to thousands displaced and hundreds dead in the disaster, with officials citing public sentiment and humanitarian concerns.
