Some People Are Still Not Aware That Pancasila Was Born Today, And Many Also Don't Memorize It

JAKARTA - Commemorating the Birth of Pancasila on June 1, 2022, the East Jakarta Association of Women Care for Pancasila (P4) consisting of a number of women conducted socialization to the community along Otista Street, Kampung Melayu, Jatinegara, East Jakarta, Wednesday, June 1.

The socialization given was asking about the "Pancasila Principles" from the first to the fifth precepts. But in reality, after a number of women asked the public, there were still many who did not know or had even forgotten the "Pancasila Principles".

As found on the side of Otista Street. A woman street vendor when asked about the content of Pancasila only mentioned the first precept. The merchant could not continue with the next precept because he had forgotten not to memorize it.

Even so, the group of P4 women also provided socialization and understanding of Pancasila to the traders.

Next, the group of women came to one of the online motorcycle taxi drivers located on the edge of Otista Street, to be precise near the Kampung Melayu Terminal.

This online motorcycle taxi driver named Novita when asked about the sound of Pancasila knew it and memorized it. The man who worked as an online motorcycle taxi for 6 years mentioned the first precepts to the fifth precepts in a short time.

"This gives me goosebumps (mentioning the sound of Pancasila). My state spirit is very high. So I still memorize Pancasila by heart," he told VOI at the location, Wednesday, June 1.

Meanwhile, East Jakarta Chairperson of the Association of Women Care for Pancasila (P4), Diana Murni, said that her party commemorated the birthday of Pancasila not through social media, but greeting the public.

"We ask them because many people don't know that today is the birthday of Pancasila. At the same time, we socialize the birthday of Pancasila to the public," she said.

From several people she met, Diana admitted that there were still many people who did not know that today was the birthday of Pancasila.

"Today we are socializing the birthday of Pancasila. To the community, we emphasize how important the values of Pancasila are in everyday life," she said.
