Socialization of the Use of Symbols of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia to Children of Muhammadiyah Learning Studio in Kampung Baru Malaysia

Abstract

This article is the result of community service initiatives intended for children at the Muhamadiyah Learning Center in Kampung Baru, Malaysia. This community service represents our civic duty to urge the protection and preservation of the emblem of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia against negligent actions. The state symbols represent the identity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, which must be revered and embraced by Indonesian citizens regardless of their location. The 1945 Constitution mandates that state symbols serve as instruments of unification, identity, and a representation of national existence that embodies the sovereignty and dignity of the state. This community service aims to elucidate state symbols and the penalties associated with the unlawful use of the Symbol of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. The service is implemented through learning and play. The deficiency of educational resources regarding state symbols and the legal ramifications of their misuse among Indonesian children in Malaysia necessitates implementing instructional methods to enhance appreciation, nationalism, and pride in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, regardless of their location. Consequently, it is essential to guide Indonesian children residing in Malaysia to cultivate appreciation and affection for the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
