MALANG - Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko asked the younger generation in Indonesia to be able to wisely manage various information that is currently spread and easily available on social media (social media).
Moeldoko said that if the information circulating was not managed wisely, especially by the younger generation of Indonesia, it would have a negative impact.
"If all the available information is not managed properly, the various information that comes in will produce something negative," he said during a working visit in Malang City, East Java, Wednesday, March 23, quoted by Antara.
Moeldoko explained, many young people today want instant wealth, which is one of the negative impacts due to the large amount of information being spread without proper management.
According to him, with these conditions, it is hoped that universities in Indonesia are able to build the character of the younger generation of Indonesia so that they can manage the various information circulating wisely.
"There is a tendency for young people today to want instant. Show off their wealth. So, college is the right choice to build character," he said.
He added, Indonesia's young generation is expected to become a strong generation because the challenges ahead will be more severe. He hopes that universities in Indonesia can answer the challenge and build the strong character of young Indonesians.
According to him, there are a number of global phenomena that will become serious challenges and cannot be avoided, namely the factors of change, speed, risk, complexity and surprise. One of the challenges facing the world today is the spread of the Corona virus.
"We see that COVID-19 has brought extraordinary changes. The complexity is so high, the changes are so fast," he said.
With these conditions and a number of other challenges, he continued, Indonesia's young generation can become a strong generation and be able to come up with various innovations to answer the existing challenges.
"For that, in the midst of developments what is needed is a nation that has a strong character and has innovation. The choice is innovation or death," he concluded.
