"Alhamdulillah, today Bakesbangpol Malang City held this activity which can be a joint effort to strengthen friendship to maintain a conducive situation in Malang City," explained Sutiaji.
Sutiaji also delivered material on strengthening early warning of radicalism and terrorism during the era of global disruption. Where as what the founder of the Indonesian nation, Bung Karno, said, the current struggle will be even harder when compared to the struggle in the past.
"Bung Karno reminded me that my struggle was easier because I was fighting a foreign nation. While your struggle will be harder because your enemy is your own nation," said Sutiaji.
From what Bung Karno said, everyone can learn that there will be a struggle for recognition, a struggle for interests because on average humans have lust. Where lust drives humans to be shown as the greatest, the best, the strongest and so on.
From that attitude, of course, it will become a shared vigilance, including at this time where political conditions are increasing along with the five-yearly activities. For that, shared vigilance is needed to remind us to be more careful in life facing radicalism and terrorism.
