        "summary": "Muhammadiyah leader Haedar Nashir argues that Pancasila's principles remain unimplemented despite annual commemorations, with Indonesia still grappling with corruption, inequality, and oligarchy. He calls for systemic application of Pancasila across governance and society, stressing that without tangible practice, the ideology effectively ceases to exist.",
        "content": "<p>Pancasila Day is commemorated annually. May the commemoration not be\nconfined to grand ceremonies and empty speeches. Yet the crucial agenda\nof implementing Pancasila\u2019s noble values remains neglected in reality.\nThe primary demand is for a strong, collective, and systematic political\nmovement to realise Pancasila in nation-building and state governance.\nPancasila must be truly embedded in personal, collective, and state\nsystems of living. How to embody Pancasila in political practice: a\npolitics based on deliberation and wisdom, not power struggles for\nvictory. Political parties must uphold the values of Divinity, Humanity,\nUnity, Popular Sovereignty, and Justice as enshrined in Pancasila\u2019s five\nprinciples. The state has established institutions to foster Pancasila\nideology. But are Pancasila\u2019s core values genuinely institutionalised in\npolitical, economic, social, cultural, and constitutional systems?\nInstitutionalising Pancasila should focus on its foundational values\nthat shape thought, ethics, and lofty policy orientation\u2014not detailed,\nprescriptive guidelines like the New Order era. Pancasila is a moderate\nideology, with all five principles representing a centrist,\nnon-extremist stance. It is neither secular, liberal, capitalist,\nMarxist, nor any other extreme ideology. Pancasila aligns with religious\nteachings and is moderate in its approach to religion\u2014neither\nanti-religious nor allergic to it. Thus, views on Pancasila and national\nideology must remain centrist, avoiding extremes on either side.\nPancasila must serve as the foundational value for building Indonesia.\nReflect on whether the current government\u2019s direction and policies truly\nalign with Pancasila\u2019s principles. Do laws, regulations, and governance\npractices genuinely reflect Pancasila? Legislation and strategic\nnational policies must not prioritise specific interests over the public\ngood and Pancasila\u2019s noble values. Pancasila must be grounded in\nIndonesia\u2019s reality. The country still faces serious structural issues:\ncorruption, abuse of power, resource exploitation, social inequality,\nthuggery, and oligarchic practices. Are there significant policies to\naddress these critical issues comprehensively and systematically from\ncentral to local levels? The priority now is the serious and systematic\nimplementation of Pancasila across all aspects of national life. The key\nlies in the commitment and optimal efforts of all Pancasila\nstakeholders\u2014officials and national elites safeguarding the Republic.\nThe mindset and practices of government officials, elites, and citizens\nmust be checked to ensure alignment with Pancasila\u2019s noble values\u2014no\ndiscrepancies, no gap between words and deeds. Do millennial, Gen Z, and\nGen Alpha generations in Indonesia know and understand Pancasila? Young\nIndonesians demand proof and role models\u2014how are Pancasila\u2019s noble\nvalues truly practised in daily life? They need role models from\nofficials, political elites, and national figures\u2014teachers who embody\nand inspire. How to build a nation that is just, prosperous, sovereign,\nand dignified, with meaning and integrity. If each of Pancasila\u2019s\nprinciples is genuinely implemented in personal, collective, and state\nlife, then Pancasila truly exists in Indonesia. Its presence must not be\nmere words without substance. If Pancasila is not realised in daily\nnational life, it effectively vanishes from Indonesian soil!<\/p>",
