BEKASI CITY – Approximately 250 alumni of the Nusantara Student Executive Board from 140 campuses across Indonesia held a Grand Reunion and National Consolidation. The event, carrying the theme “Nurturing Brotherhood, Strengthening Solidarity,” aims to bridge past idealism with concrete action amid the new government.

Former 7th President of Indonesia was seen endorsing the Grand Reunion of Nusantara Student Executive Board Alumni Association, which is also planned to be attended by the Vice President of Indonesia.

This reunion also marks a transition moment for former campus activists who now work as public officials, academics, and business professionals. The main agenda is to compile strategic policy recommendations for the government.

The committee chairman emphasized that the fighting spirit of this student organization must not fade. He announced formal steps to consolidate the movement.

“We will register this institution with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to become an official organization. We want the Student Executive Board’s struggle to not stop at campus, but to continue living in society,” he stated before participants.

According to him, the alumni’s role has now shifted from street demonstrations to policy tables. “We must fight with our brains, not just muscles,” he added.

At the same location, the Steering Committee Chairman highlighted the one-year mark of national leadership as the right time to contribute.

“We previously conveyed development ideas since the SBY era. Now, as the nation enters one year of the new government, it’s time for us to contribute again in the form of thoughts,” he explained.

He specifically mentioned the government’s Asta Cita concept as a work framework that needs to be guarded with critical reasoning. This forum, he continued, is a concrete form of public participation in guarding the development agenda.

The three-day meeting concluded with a commitment to compile a national plenary. The document will contain collective thought recommendations to be submitted to the government, continuing the intellectual tradition built during college years.

The presence of several officials such as representatives from the National Police Headquarters and Bekasi City Government in this event emphasized that the reunion is not merely nostalgia, but a consolidation of national ideas to welcome Golden Indonesia 2045.

Nusantara Student Executive Board

The Nusantara Student Executive Board (BEM Nusantara) is a prominent Indonesian student organization historically formed to advocate for student interests and national issues. It emerged from the student movement tradition in Indonesia and often serves as a platform for leadership development and political discourse on campuses. The organization’s activities are rooted in Indonesia’s history of student activism, which has played a significant role in the nation’s political developments.

Ministry of Law and Human Rights

The Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia is a government ministry responsible for legal affairs and human rights protection. It was established in 1945, following Indonesia’s independence, and has evolved through various names and structural reforms to its current form, which was solidified in 2009. Its core functions include formulating national legal policy, overseeing the correctional system, and administering administrative law, such as citizenship and civil registration.

SBY era

“SBY era” refers to the decade-long presidency of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in Indonesia, which lasted from 2004 to 2014. This period was marked by significant democratic consolidation, steady economic growth, and relative political stability following the tumultuous early years of the Reformasi era. His administration was also known for its cautious, consensus-driven foreign policy and for grappling with challenges such as corruption and terrorism.

Asta Cita

I am unable to find any historical or cultural information on a place or site named “Asta Cita.” It is possible the name is misspelled, from a very localized legend, or is a fictional location. Could you please verify the name or provide any additional context?

National Police Headquarters

The National Police Headquarters is the central administrative and operational command center for a country’s law enforcement agency. Its history is often tied to the development of modern policing, with many headquarters established in the 19th or early 20th centuries as part of professionalizing police forces. These buildings are typically located in a nation’s capital and serve as a symbol of state authority and public order.

Bekasi City Government

The Bekasi City Government administers Bekasi, a city in West Java, Indonesia, which was officially established as an autonomous city separate from the Bekasi Regency in 1996. Historically, the area was part of the Tarumanagara and Sunda Kingdoms, and it has since evolved from a collection of villages into a major industrial and residential hub on the outskirts of Jakarta.

Golden Indonesia 2045

“Golden Indonesia 2045” is not a physical place or historical cultural site, but a national vision and strategic development roadmap for the Republic of Indonesia. Officially launched by the government, its goal is to transform Indonesia into a developed, sovereign, advanced, and just and prosperous nation by the centenary of its independence in 2045. The vision encompasses ambitious targets across various sectors, including the economy, technology, human resources, and governance, to achieve what is termed Indonesia’s “Golden Era.”
