As has been widely acknowledged, the challenges of our future nationhood are very complex. According to People\'s Consultative Assembly (MPR) Decree No. VI/MPR/2001 on Ethics of the Life of the Nation, there are two primary types of challenges, internal and external. The internal challenges include: (1) poor religious comprehension and practices and the emergence of an incorrect understanding and narrow-minded religious teachings; (2) neglect of regional interests and the rise of regional fanaticism; (3) lack of understanding and appreciation for diversity and plurality; (4) lack of exemplary attitudes and behaviors among the nation’s leadership and leading figures; and (5) ineffective enforcement of the law.
