Bogor, NU Online
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono reaffirmed here on Friday that the form of national statehood was already final and could not be changed by anyone including the state`s ideology and the constitution.
Speaking before participants of the 8th national meeting of the Communications Forum of Army and Police Retirees` Sons and Daughters (FKPPI), the head of state said that the Pancasila (state ideology), the 1945 Constitution, the form of Unitary State of Indonesia and the Bhineka Tunggal Ika (unity in diversity) principles had to be safeguarded.<>
"They are already final and effective forever. Reform efforts must not change the fundamental consensus for nationhood," he said.
He said reform efforts that had been carried out by the Indonesian nation were gradual, orderly and controlled so that they had gone well and into the expected direction.
In connection with that he called on all FKPPI members to stand in the frontline in case any party wished to change the state`s ideology, constitution and the country`s form of unitary state.
He said Indonesia had never been dictated by any other country and any authority because Indonesia was a self-reliant nation and government.
The event was attended by West Java governor Ahmad Heryawan, Defense Forces Commander General Djoko Santoso, National Police Chief General Bambang Hendarso Danuri, Minister/State Secretary Hatta Radjasa, Cabinet Secretary Sudi Silalahi and FKPPI general chairman Pontjo Sutowo. (ant)
