Jakarta (ANTARA) - Member of the MPR RI, Himmatul Aliyah, has\nemphasised the importance of practising national values for the younger\ngeneration, noting that current understanding of Pancasila and the four\nnational pillars remains low.<\/p>\n
Himmatul stated that although the youth are known to be creative,\nintelligent, and technologically literate, surveys indicate that only\nabout 28.6 per cent of students understand Pancasila through classroom\nlearning, while the majority obtain information via social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must revive the spirit of nationalism, particularly for the youth\nof Jakarta who are growing up in the digital era,\u201d she said in an\nofficial statement in Jakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n
She noted the emergence of a phenomenon where a large portion of Gen\nZ is beginning to doubt the relevance of Pancasila values amidst the\nheavy influx of globalisation, individualism, and digital\ninformation.<\/p>\n
Consequently, participants were encouraged to understand the\nimplementation of the MPR RI\u2019s four pillars through the practice of\ndiscipline and cooperation in marching drills. These pillars include\nPancasila as the national ideology, the 1945 Constitution as the state\nconstitution, the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI), and\nBhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity) as the symbol of unity in\ndiversity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese values are reflected in the cohesion, discipline, and harmony\nof the participants\u2019 movements during the competition. NKRI is the\nultimate goal. Despite coming from different schools, we all defend one\nflag, the Merah Putih,\u201d said Himmatul.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Chairperson of Commission X of the DPR RI also reminded\nthat Jakarta is a global city and a miniature of Indonesia, meaning it\ncarries a significant responsibility to serve as a role model for\npractising national values for the entire territory of the NKRI.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet every drop of sweat today serve as proof that Jakarta\u2019s younger\ngeneration is a generation that is loyal to the nation, adaptive to\nchange, and collaborative in their work,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
She expressed hope that the activity could strengthen the spirit of\nbrotherhood, nationalism, and the commitment of the younger generation\ntowards the integrity of the NKRI in pursuit of \u2018Indonesia Emas 2045\u2019\n(Golden Indonesia 2045).<\/p>\n
The LKBB competition was organised by the MPR RI alongside the Purna\nPaskibraka Indonesia (PPI) of the DKI Jakarta Province, aiming to\nstrengthen national spirit and the practice of the MPR RI\u2019s Four Pillars\namong the youth.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/mpr-ri-emphasises-importance-of-practising-national-values-among-younger-generation-1780908297", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
