East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa has urged the public to\nensure that Pancasila is not merely a state foundation commemorated\nceremonially, but a guide that truly lives within daily life, government\nservices, and collective efforts to build the nation.<\/p>\n
This call was made by Khofifah after leading the Pancasila Sanctity\nDay Commemoration ceremony, themed \u201cPancasila as the Unifier of the\nNation Towards a Sovereign, Just, and Prosperous Indonesia,\u201d at the\nGrahadi State Building courtyard, Surabaya, on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cPancasila unites us in our diversity. This unity must become a\nstrength to work together, deliver justice, and expand prosperity. From\nEast Java, let us continue to contribute to a sovereign, just, and\nprosperous Indonesia,\u201d said Khofifah.<\/p>\n
According to Khofifah, unity based on Pancasila serves as vital\ncapital for facing various national challenges. She stated that unity\nmust not stop at slogans but must be translated into concrete actions\nthat strengthen togetherness and ensure that the benefits of development\nare felt more equitably.<\/p>\n
She assessed that a pluralistic society requires the ability to\ncontinuously maintain spaces for dialogue. Differences in views,\nbackgrounds, or interests should not serve as reasons to widen social\ngaps.<\/p>\n
\u201cNurturing unity begins with how we treat one another. Respecting\ndifferences, listening to opinions, helping those in need, and resolving\nissues through deliberation are forms of practicing Pancaselle that are\nclose to our lives,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Khofifah emphasised that the spirit of unity must go hand in hand\nwith efforts to realise a sovereign, just, and prosperous Indonesia. To\nachieve this goal, strengthening the quality of human resources is one\nof the essential tasks that must be continuously pursued.<\/p>\n
Mastery of science and technology, according to her, holds a\nstrategic position in building national independence. The community\u2019s\nability to face changing times must be supported by education, skills,\nand increasingly open opportunities.<\/p>\n
\u201cA sovereign Indonesia requires a society capable of progressing.\nIndependence must be built through education, science, skills, and a\nstrong economy. All of this requires working together,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n
In the context of East Java, this spirit also means strengthening\ncollaboration between the government, the education sector, business\nactors, communities, and the public. Development cannot rely on a single\nsector but requires the involvement of various elements according to\ntheir respective capacities.<\/p>\n
Khofifah believes that the value of gotong royong<\/em> (mutual\ncooperation) contained within Pancasila remains relevant to addressing\nmodern development issues. This spirit can be realised through care for\nvulnerable groups, strengthening the community economy, improving the\nquality of education, and citizen participation in resolving local\nissues.<\/p>\n She also emphasised that the practice of Pancasila must be clearly\nvisible in the face of the bureaucracy. Government officials, she said,\nhave a responsibility to provide services that are easily accessible,\nresponsive, transparent, and non-discriminatory.<\/p>\n \u201cFor government officials, the practice of Pancasila must be evident\nin service. Serve the community with respect, listen to their needs, and\nprovide solutions. Every citizen has the right to receive good and\nequitable service,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n According to Khofifah, the quality of public service is one of the\nmost tangible spaces for the community to feel the presence of the\nstate. Therefore, officials must not only follow procedures but also\nensure that the public receives certainty, ease, and fair treatment.<\/p>\n The spirit of social justice, she continued, must also be translated\ninto development that can reach communities in various regions.\nDevelopment must provide opportunities for as many citizens as possible\nto grow and improve their quality of life.<\/p>\n Khofifah also highlighted the significant changes occurring in the\ndigital space. According to her, the practice of Pancasila is now\nrequired not only in direct interactions but also in how the community\ncommunicates on social media and various digital platforms.<\/p>",
