Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, Moh. Mahfud MD said that the substance contained in Pancasila is no problem anymore. Because, so many uprisings appear in this country could be crushed. In fact, people who demonstrate and rage, as well as doing anarchy to uphold Pancasila.
"So the matter of acceptance ideology (Pancasila) is final," said Mahfud when giving a speech Memorial Lecture TB Simatupang (remember services of Dr Tahi Bonar Simatupang, 1920-1990), organized by the Institute Leimena at Santika Hotel, Jakarta, Monday (12/11).

Ret. Luhut Panjaitan, and was also attended by dozens of members of the Institute Leimena, and a large family of TB Simatupang.
Furthermore, in terms of practice, Mahfud explained again by quoting a statement from Tobing that Pancasila is now in a cliff collapse. It thus resulting in the development of Pancasila is not practiced correctly. For instance, the development of democracy embraced by the Indonesian nation is currently very poor.
Therefore, Mahfud continue, it is precisely the event organized by the Institute Leimena to dig and recalls how before there was a man named T. B. Simatupang who have been thinking how to build a nation of Indonesia. "Sir Simatupang represents his generation, who had both accepted Pancasila," said Mahfud.

"I am proud of the state of Indonesia, because the bond of nationality is very strong," said Chairman MK’s.
In the end of his speech, Mahfud advised to all those who attended the event to understand and realize that Pancasila should be filled with construction rather than destruction. According to him, every step of the construction is done collectively to achieve a good purpose, a social welfare.
