However, even if it is two minutes, if it is done every day, it will strengthen the attitude of loving the country, ”said Subkhi Ridho.

According to this young activist of Muhammadiyah, the Indonesian movement Raya Bergema has two important objectives. First, as a form of declaration of the meaning of nationality, in accordance with Law No. 24 of 2009 concerning the flag, language and symbol of the state, as well as the national anthem.

“The second is a movement to cultivate solidarity, unity in love of the country and an attitude of defense of the country. G.This national movement initiated from Yogyakarta for Indonesia will coincide with the momentum of the National Awakening Day on May 20, 2021. We hope that Ngarso Dalem Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X will be ready to do so, ”said Ridho.

Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X invited the community initiative to promote nationalism through the Indonesian Raya Bergema movement.

The Sultan advised the movement to consider the situation and conditions on the ground because, according to the law, when the national anthem is played, the audience is required to stand perfectly.

“The target should therefore be achieved in possible places such as schools or educational institutions, government agencies, private offices, shopping malls or other possible places.”

Don’t do it on the highway. Of course, it is impossible for someone driving to stop and get out of the vehicle. It doesn’t have to be like that, ordered the Sultan.

The Sultan also explained his various experiences and opinions on national life. For the sultan, he himself, as head of the region, has an obligation to promote and cultivate the political conscience of the people of the nation.

In addition to being bound by the National Pancasila Consensus, the plurality of society is also governed by various laws and regulations. The sultan gave an example. Once upon a time there was an act of intolerance towards a small group of people.

The author admitted that he did so on the grounds that the majority agreed as a form of local wisdom. For the Sultan, the problem is not a question of local wisdom, nor a problem of majority or minority.

Whatever the reason, it is always prohibited for anyone, individual or group, to enter into an agreement contrary to the provisions of the applicable laws. For him, it is a question of principle and there is no bargaining.

“To avoid recurring similar incidents, you need an attitude of tolerance tepo seliro, respect and respect and dialogue based on the goodwill and honesty of all parties.

A sense of divinity, a sense of humanity and a sense of justice should always be emphasized. We can be flexible and flexible in our dynamics with each other, but we still have to be firm in principle, ”explained the Sultan.

Apart from this, the Sultan stressed the importance of formulating the ideological education of Pancasila in stages. The material or curriculum is adjusted according to the level of early childhood education, from basic to higher education.

“For the student level, ideally, it is no longer education but the stage of applying the values ​​of Pancasila,” Sultan said.

Jakarta National Unity and Diversity Alliance activist Nia Syaifudin appreciated Indonesia’s idea Raya Bergema. According to him, from the era of the Revolution of Independence to the current social movements that have emerged from Yogyakarta have always been national inspirations.

He admits that he is grateful that Yogyakarta has the Sultan and Ratu Hemas as national figures with integrity and the people of Yogyakarta who are always eager to become the shield of the Republic of Indonesia.
