Dimas Oky Nugroho: 2024 Presidential Candidates Must Strengthen Pancasila Leadership Vision
Jakarta - In the midst of the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic and the socio-economic transformation, the world is faced with a situation full of uncertainty, including in Indonesia.
The chairman of the National Cadre Association, Dimas Oky Nugroho, proposed a formula for the Indonesian people to face a crisis situation and transform into a more prosperous and stable country. Dimas emphasized the importance of future national leaders, especially using the momentum of the 2024 presidential election to understand and implement the vision and leadership model of Pancasila in a consistent and integrative manner.
First, namely a leader based on national spirituality which is manifested from the first precepts. A leader with vertical spiritual values will give great power to create a nation, state and society that has a 'virtue' and a strong character.
"From this spiritual spirit, the people of the nation and state will have a strong grip in facing various challenges and crises. However, this spirituality must be able to present humanism or the spirit of humanity which is a translation of the second precept. The divine relationship brings enthusiasm, action, empathy, solidarity, tolerance, and collaboration. Which in turn manifests in a harmony of social cohesion, a manifestation of the third principle of Indonesian unity," explained Dimas in the Chat Together event "Transformation of Indonesia and the Vision of National Leadership: An Apocalypse of Thoughts from Aceh to Papua" which was held in a hybrid manner on Monday , February 14, 2022.
The third model, he continued, requires leadership that is able to unite and embrace all groups in Indonesia inclusively from various ethnic groups, cultures, religions, politics, social classes, rural-urban, young and old. This cohesion, collaboration and unity requires mechanisms, organizations and democracy, a deliberation of representatives. "However, democracy without wisdom and wisdom will only lead the country and nation to a bad situation, inequality and manipulation of the people," said Dimas.
For this reason, it is important for the leadership of the model of the fourth principle of Pancasila to provide quality education and good human resources for the community, as well as quality and sustainable democracy based on civic awareness.
"A good democracy, full of awareness and wisdom will lead us to the fifth leadership model, namely social justice for all people". Dimas added that a leader must be able to bring the nation and state to transform into a just and prosperous one equally for all Indonesian people.
"This is the gong, in the midst of the current era of transformation, digitalization and youth demography, Indonesia needs future leadership that is able to demonstrate the quality and consistency of the Pancasila leadership model for the realization of a united, safe, prosperous and democratic country," said the doctor of politics, UNSW Sydney alumni. this.
