        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, has urged all parties to strengthen\nnational unity and contributions that go beyond mere talk. Dasco\nemphasised that the cohesion of civil society is the key to good\ngovernance. \u2018We need national unity and contributions that are not just\nempty talk; that is what we ask of our civil society colleagues,\u2019 Dasco\nsaid in a statement on Friday (6 March 2026). Dasco noted that civil\nsociety is currently not cohesive, with people instead abusing each\nother. \u2018Because today, our civil society is not cohesive; civil society\nis one with another, insulting each other, questioning government\npolicies in an unhealthy way. On social media, it is already unhealthy,\u2019\nhe said. Dasco stressed that the administration of President Prabowo\nSubianto requires national unity to realise its promises, especially to\nprosper the people. He also said it is not a problem if civil society\nvoices criticisms or suggestions. However, Dasco hopes such criticisms\nare built on a sense of nationalism and good intent. \u2018If we ask, Prabowo\nonly needs one thing: national unity\u2014both in criticising and in offering\nideas and, then, real contributions,\u2019 Dasco asserted. Therefore, Dasco\nasked all parties to give the Prabowo administration time to work as\nwell as possible. \u2018I would actually ask my fellow citizens: how long\nwill civil society continue to provide national unity to Prabowo so that\nhe has time to realise his promises for the welfare of the people?\u2019 he\nadded.
