JAKARTA (MKRI) — The Indonesian Law Students Association (Permahi) of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung visited the Constitutional Court (MK) on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. They were welcomed by senior legal analyst Syamsudin Noer in one of the court’s halls. The students made the visit to deepen their understanding of the role, duties, and vision of the Constitutional Court, as one of the state institutions tasked with upholding the Constitution and safeguarding democracy in Indonesia.

Syamsudin Noer, known as Syam, emphasized the Court’s ongoing commitment to being a modern and trustworthy institution. He underscored that public trust is a critical element in the Court’s ability to perform its constitutional duties, particularly amid the ever-evolving landscape of democracy.

“The primary objective of the Constitutional Court is to uphold law and justice by leveraging technology and delivering quality public service,” Syam said to the dozens of students in attendance.

He further explained that the Court strives to provide services that are both efficient and transparent. This goal is pursued through the integration of information technology into court proceedings. One of the innovations highlighted during the session was the Electronic Petition Information System (Sistem Informasi Permohonan Elektronik or SIMPEL), an application that enables the public to submit petitions without needing to travel to Jakarta.

“With SIMPEL, individuals from across the country can submit petitions online. This is in accordance with Constitutional Court Regulation (PMK) No. 7 of 2025,” he explained.

The visit also included an interactive discussion. The students were visibly enthusiastic, posing numerous questions about the petition submission process, the independence of constitutional justices, and the challenges the Court faces in maintaining its institutional integrity.

Following the discussion, the students were invited to tour the Constitution History Center (Puskon), located on the 5th and 6th floors of the Court’s main building. The Center showcases the history of Indonesia’s Constitution and the establishment of the Constitutional Court through engaging and informative displays.
