Klojen, (malangkota.go.id) – Appreciating the awareness of the people of Malang City in democracy, the Deputy Mayor of Malang, Ir. H. Sofyan Edi Jarwoko attended a discussion on strengthening democracy and elections, deepening democracy in political parties and public supervision at the Santika Hotel, Wednesday (20/7/2022). This event was held by the Alumni Corps of the Islamic Student Association (KAHMI) of Malang City.
Bung Edi, Sofyan Edi Jarwoko's nickname, expressed his gratitude to KAHMI Malang City for having the time and place to think about the nation together. Everyone hopes that this activity can produce a good process to advance the Indonesian nation.
In Malang City, as a city of education, it has a society that is very extraordinary in democracy and has high intellectuality. According to him, voters in Malang City can be invited to discuss and can convey great thoughts. "In fact, often what is conveyed by the community can be even greater," said Bung Edi.
From this fact, it is very important to be able to know more deeply how the regulations related to democratic activities themselves. Because basically, democracy cannot be taught in a short time.
Through experience, many new democratic countries can only be done well after 100 years. In Indonesia, there has been extraordinary expectations for democracy so far. "Therefore, we really appreciate this activity, so that it can bring more benefits," he said.
Meanwhile, the Head of KAHMI Malang City, Lutfi J Kurniawan said, KAHMI discussion activities are always routine and continuously carried out. In fact, KAHMI Malang City has a KAHMI forum. "Whether it is responding to public issues or responding to fundamental, conceptual problems in society," said Lutfi.
He hopes that it will not only stop at seminars, discussions, and workshops. But it must be able to bring up a living organizational typology to solve problems.
"We continue to encourage KAHMI to exist to bring benefits for the welfare of the people," said Lutfi.
Also present at the event were Ahmad Doli Kurnia Tandjung (Coordinator of the Presidium of the National Assembly of KAHMI), Agus Mellaz (Chairman of the Commissioner of the Indonesian KPU), Dr. Fauzan, M.Pd (Rector of UMM), Rahmad Bagja (Chairman of the Indonesian Bawaslu). (cah/ram)
