Kedungkandang (malangkota.go.id) – 120 women's activities from Kedungkandang, Lesanpuro, and Buring Sub-districts of Kedungkandang District participated in a socialization activity in order to strengthen national insight, Tuesday (7/11/2023). Women have strategic potential in various fields, including upholding diversity in everyday life. For example, as mothers in the household, women are present to maintain family resilience and protect children from various bad influences such as radicalism and intolerance.
Kedungkandang Sub-district Head Drs. Fahmi Fauzan AZ, M.Si said that in accordance with the theme of the socialization that was raised, namely "Implementation of Bineka Tunggal Ika within the Framework of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI)", it is hoped that women can show their role in maintaining diversity in everyday life. "Hopefully this activity can provide enlightenment for us to respond to diversity amidst the current social dynamics," said Fahmi.
Malang City is a miniature of Indonesia and even the world, one of the contributing factors is the existence of various universities that are destinations for students from all over Indonesia and even from abroad. This was conveyed by the Expert Staff for Development, People's Welfare and Human Resources of the Malang City Regional Secretariat Drs. Alie Mulyanto, MM who represented the Acting Mayor of Malang in the activity held at the Ijen Suites Resort and Convention.
"From Sabang to Merauke, Bineka Tunggal Ika is in Malang City. If this diversity is not managed well, it will definitely cause conflicts between races and religions. So it is very important that this unity is maintained well," he said.
Alie said that women are great and strong people whose contributions are greatly needed in maintaining the unity of the country. Unity is also a big capital to achieve the Golden Indonesia in 2045. "Golden Indonesia is our ideal. But will 100 years after Indonesia's independence, the Republic of Indonesia still exist? Or is it just history? It depends on us. Don't let Indonesia break apart," she exclaimed.
Ali invited all people of Malang City, especially the participants who attended the meeting to maintain national unity. "The ideology of Pancasila, diversity, the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, and the Constitution must always be maintained. Let us together maintain Indonesia with its various diversities, especially in Kedungkandang District," he concluded. (ari/yon)
