J. Kristiadi

Amid the heated political years laden with political idioms that can mislead the public, sarcastic and jeering exchanges among politicians and their opponents, and the clamor of bewildering hoaxes in the virtual world, a light orchestra is heard, echoing the noble values of the nation, Pancasila. The hum of the nation’s noble values penetrates through the midst of the cacophony of public discourse that has nearly lost its sanity. The kidung (song) is an agreement and legalizes the regulation on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Terrorism (hereinafter referred to as the Terrorism Law).

Thanks to the earnestness and commitment of the state, the government and the House of Representatives, the regulation was not only agreed and approved in a matter of weeks by all House factions, including the "opposition" faction, but also gained the support of various public circles. The statement of Azyumardi Azra, a very polite, wise and prominent intellectual, may represent the public mood and sentiment: "The state should act more firmly against terrorism, Indonesia should be more strict, especially against those who have been at war games in IS [Islamic State]. Thus far, Indonesia has been too soft in facing terrorism." (Kompas, Saturday, May 26, 2018).
