In addition, Mahfud also explained the benefits of Pancasila education. But earlier, he often heard the question, whether the Pancasila still as a tool to unite and state together. According to him, the real Indonesia "giddy" in the bond of unity. Now it would more and more intolerant of others. Sometimes there were arbitrary actions that not be able to be resolved properly by the official authorities. "Therefore, a good settlement was tolerant of differences, and accepted any such differences as something that is also given by God. So the noise would not be the distinction, "Mahfud messaged.

 

Meaning of Pancasila

Pancasila we have agreed with the states in the first precepts, Belief in God Almighty. That is, according to Mahfud, any person their human rights protected to do their teachings. "So faith is not to be contested. The world is peaceful, because no one ever taught religion destructive to the lives of others, "he explained.

After talking to the divine, Mahfud continued Pancasila also spoke of humanity. It just and civilized humanity. That is, Pancasila did not talk Indonesia at first, but humanity. "In this case, the Indonesian nation must respect fellow human beings first, in the sense not to get humans to colonize other humans," he explained.

With this foundation, Mahfud added, following the precepts generating independence in which an unity of Indonesia. That is, people should not undermine the livelihood of the world. Moreover, the order of life in the world can not eliminate the Indonesian characteristics. "So there is harmony between man and Indonesia with Man in the World," he explained.

Then, said Mahfud, emerging democracy. That is, the people of Indonesia who already have a feature as the unity of a nation must operate through a democracy. “However, Indonesia’s democracy should not follow Western democracies there is no principle of his divinity. Indonesia contained populist democracy in the deliberations. Democracy is not a power struggle, but the wisdom of wisdom, "said Mahfud.

And finally, it come the precepts of the fifth. According to Mahfud a sound that is actually not a complete social justice for all people of Indonesia, but there is a verb that says "bring" social justice for all Indonesian people.

Where justice should be shared by the people of Indonesia, "said Chairman of the Constitutional Court.

In addition to speaking the meaning of the Pancasila, Mahfud also explains the importance of Pancasila education.

In this case, Mahfud example, in the world economy is more problematic, but the nation’s economy could grow rapidly in Indonesia 6.5%.

"But the question is, are there social justice in it. Because we feel small community hard earn money. Below the poverty line, still remain. Economic growth at the macro level, and only happens in a game of shares, rather than moving on the real sector, "said Professor of Islamic University of Indonesia, Yogyakarta.
