JAKARTA - Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) politician Mardani Ali Sera said that planting nationalism through reading the Pancasila script and singing the Indonesia Raya anthem was not a fundamental step. This statement was responded to by former Democratic Party politician, Ferdinand Hutahaean.

With this statement, both Mardani and PKS have clearly shown who they really are.

"Members of Commission II of the DPR from the PKS faction, Mardani Ali Sera, criticized the plan to hold a rally every Monday morning, play the anthem Indonesia Raya, and read the Pancasila script which will be routinely carried out by government agencies. Mardani shows who he is, what ideology...!" Ferdinand asserted through his Twitter account, @FerdinandHaean3, Thursday, June 17.

Ferdinand said, Mardani did not understand the noble values in Pancasila. Experience as well as appreciation of nationalism. "It's easy just because you don't understand, but if it's because of your hatred for Pancasila and nationalism, then this is an attempt to thwart it," said Ferdinand

For Ferdinand, the cultivation of nationalism by supporting 75 KPK employees who did not pass the National Insight Test (TWK) is clearly misleading. "Indeed and distorting the values of Pancasila and harassment of the state. Is it time for the nation to be asked to support those who fail the national insight test? Stupid...!," Ferdinand criticized.

Ferdinand was also surprised by PKS because the question of Pancasila and PKS Nationalism was often criticized. As for terrorists or the prosecution of terrorists, PKS is always at the forefront of talking about human rights for the perpetrators.

"Brur @MardaniAliSera, allow me to ask, why do PKS people criticize efforts to practice Pancasila and Nationalism? Meanwhile, regarding counter-terrorism, PKS people are always at the forefront of protecting their human rights by reminding law enforcers? Can @hnurwahid want to help answer?"

Mardani previously mentioned that reading the Pancasila script, playing the Indonesia Raya anthem, which is routinely performed at morning apples every Monday, is not a smart and fundamental step.

Realization of an intelligent and fundamental way through eradicating corruption and supporting 75 KPK employees to discuss Papua's Special Autonomy properly.

"The way to instill nationalism and love for the country, including the values of Pancasila, should be smarter and more fundamental," Mardani said to Tempo, Thursday, June 17, 2021.

For information, every government agency since July 1, 2021, must hold an apple every Monday morning. In addition to the apple, government agencies are also encouraged to play the anthem Indonesia Raya every Tuesday and Thursday at 10.00 WIB. And read the Pancasila script every Wednesday and Friday at 10.00 WIB.
