For the uninitated, this is the Centre of Pancasila studies in UGM.

Pancasila is the national ideology of Indonesia.



I wonder it is still operational.

Well, they still have Pancasila lessons for schools despite the fall of the New Order regime. Yet, the term has been associated with the latter for its role in maintaining stability within Indonesia during Suharto's reign. What started out by Sukarno as a tool to unite the country taking pride in the motto 'Unity in Diversity' has degenerated into a term manuiplated by Suharto and is now associated with the infamous New Order.

Questions remains:

In the post New Order era, is Pancasila still relevant to Indonesia admist the wave of democrazation, decentralization and separatism / regional automony sweeping through the country  ?

Can it return to its roots in holding the country together in the long run ?
