The performance of the Bandung City caravans when taking part in the Muhasabah Tilawatil Quran (MTQ) exhibition is believed to be at the level of West Java and its achievements are no longer in doubt.
History records that the city of Bandung has scored 9 overall champions in a row since the 29th MTQ, at this prestigious event at the West Java Province level.
Currently, the City of Bandung is again preparing to face the 38th MTQ at the West Java Province level in Bekasi Regency on April 27 - May 5 2024.

Serious and programmed coaching has been provided, all that remains is to apply the right strategy in holding the championship. God willing, the process and efforts will not betray results," said Acting Mayor of Bandung, Bambang Tirtoyuliono.
