JAKARTA - Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, has instructed the screening of the national anthem Indonesia Raya every working day in the DPR, parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta.

This Indonesia Raya song was sung by all employees in the DPR simultaneously with a perfect attitude or standing at 10.00 WIB.

The instruction was contained in a letter circulating among journalists Number T/1375/11/2024 dated November 5, 2024. The letter was signed with black Sufmi Dasco Ahmad as the leader of the DPR.

"As an effort to strengthen Indonesia's nationalism and unity within the DPR RI, I hereby instruct the screening of the Indonesia Raya Song every working day at 10.00 WIB within the DPR RI and simultaneously stand a perfect attitude to listen to the anthem Indonesia Raya," the letter said.

In the letter, Dasco asked the Secretary General (Sekjen) of the DPR Indra Iskandar to follow up on the instructions starting Thursday, November 7, 2024.

"In connection with this, I ask the Secretary General of the DPR RI to be able to follow up starting Thursday, November 7, 2024," the instruction wrote.

Contacted separately, the Secretary General of the DPR, Indra Iskandar, did not deny the instructions of the DPR leadership. It's just that the instructions for playing the anthem Indonesia Raya every working day in the DPR cannot be carried out immediately on Thursday, November 7, 2024.

Indra said that his party would coordinate again with Dasco about the technical implementation in the field.

"The technical coordination is still being coordinated, it is still being evaluated because there are technical aspects that are not ready," Indra told reporters.
