Goblok

“Stupid, Dumb, and Ignorant”

,

News, News

In the early 90s, political magazines and newspapers in Indonesia were busy with the word “stupid” which was put forward by Gus Dur, who was then chairman of PBNU and Chairman of the Democracy Forum. Initially the word stupid was uttered by Gus Dur when he was interviewed by an English-language foreign media. “He is stupid” is what Gus Dur said when asked his opinion about the steps taken by Soeharto at that time.

Saying Soeharto is stupid in the context of Indonesian politics at that time not only requires extraordinary courage, but also based on strong arguments. So almost all audiences admired Gus Dur’s courage and affirmatively agreed with him. After that statement, the political struggle between NU, Fordem, the Government, and ABRI as Soeharto’s defenders was violent. Starting from the banning of seminars to the attempted overthrow of Gus Dur from the chairman of PBNU.

Idiot

Not long ago, about 2 years ago, Philosophy Expert Rocky Gerung said that Jokowi was “dumb” when he spoke on one occasion. According to Rocky, Mr. Jokowi was an idiot because he did not understand the fundamentals of governance. The Indonesian media world was abuzz. There were both pros and cons.

As usual the palace or Jokowi never responded to RG’s criticism even though to most ears the word “imbecile” is harsh. Instead of experiencing difficulties like Gus Dur, Mr. RG is flying high and being invited everywhere. It seems that Jokowi’s opposition is happy with RG’s expression.

In recent days, the word “goblok” was released “over” iced tea by a presidential special staffer at a recitation forum. The word then went viral and was cut into pieces in a social media video which eventually gave rise to an intention that the word goblok was so insulting. Even on social media, it was peppered with very personal opinions about the president’s special staff that were not liked before and followed by a push for dismissal.

If we look at the context in the iced tea event, it was actually a joke that is common in similar forums in other places and ordinary people. When a trader has not been able to sell his merchandise, it could be that he is not good at selling, aka stupid. So where did the word idiot go wrong to cause blasphemy.

Perhaps the one who said it today is the president’s assistant, who in yesterday’s election was not the netizen‘s choice. The question is why the word dumb thrown at a president is considered more appropriate by netizens than the word stupid for an iced tea seller? Is it fair?

UNISA Yogyakarta and Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar Highlight Gender and Disability Issues in Joint Research

,

News, News

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta and Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar conducted a research collaboration with the theme GEDSI (Gender Disability and Social Inclusion) Knowledge and Attitude Intervention Model in Muhammadiyah and Aisyiyah Universities. This research tries to support the fulfillment of disability and women’s rights, as well as intervene related to the problem of violence.

This research departs from the problem that there are still many cases of violence against women with disabilities that have not been revealed and advocated properly. There are also many child marriages, female circumcision, discrimination against vulnerable women, and many other cases that are examples of GEDSI-based cases.

One of the research members, Dr. Islamiyatur Rokhmah, S.Ag., M.S.I (Unisa Yogyakarta) said that Indonesia ratified the UN conference in achieving SDGs with an agreement that no one is left behind, so in all aspects of life women, disabilities, children and vulnerable groups can get all rights, both the rights to life, religion, economy, politics, health, education, social and culture.

“No one is left behind to get this access, this is the GEDSI concept that is carried out to alleviate the problems that exist in society. So Muhammadiyah and ‘Aisyiyah Universities have a role here in helping the government program, by conducting education, research and community service,” said Islamiyatur, Thursday (5/12/2024).

This research was chaired by Dr. Warsiti, S.Kp, Sp.Mat (Unisa Yogyakarta) with member 1, Dr. Islamiyatur Rokhmah, S.Ag, M.S.I (Unisa Yogyakarta) and member 2, Dr. Dahniar, M.Kes. (UNISMUH Makassar). This follow-up research is considered very important, to be able to provide one solution to efforts to increase knowledge and attitudes towards the GEDSI issue, which in previous studies was known that knowledge and attitudes towards the GEDSI issue were still limited.

“This further research is expected to produce a module that can be applied by Muhammadiyah Aisyiyah Higher Education Institutions to socialize the GEDSI issue, which can be the basis for policy makers/stakeholders in the campus environment in making preventive efforts against various GEDSI issues, such as cases of discrimination, marginalization, double burden and violence based on gender, disability and social exclusion,” said Islamiyatur.

PTMA has the virtue of practicing the chess darma of Higher Education, namely teaching, research, community service and being active in the association, should have insight into the GEDSI issue. It is not limited to insight, but it is hoped that the GEDSI issue can be contained in policies in higher education, namely in the Main Performance Index (IKU) and Additional Performance Index (IKT), because Higher Education is one of the stakeholder elements that helps alleviate various community problems related to the GEDSI issue.

Gus Miftah Mocks Drink Seller, Lecturer of Islamic Religion and Kemuhammadiyahan Unisa Yogyakarta: Very Disrespectful

,

News, News

In recent times, the statement of Miftah Maulana Habiburrahman or known to the public as Gus Miftah has been busy. Gus Miftah while filling the study seemed to make fun of traveling drink sellers. Dr. Iwan Setiawan, MSI, lecturer of Islamic Religion and Kemuhammadiyahan at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (Unisa) Yogyakarta, assessed that Gus Miftah’s swearing was very inappropriate.

Iwan said that Gus Miftah, as a cleric and special envoy of the President of the Republic of Indonesia in matters of religious tolerance, is certainly a public figure. Of course, he will be ready for criticism and suggestions from the public.

“So that viral swearing from a public figure to an iced tea seller, a family fighter, is very inappropriate. Not setting an example for the community,” said Iwan, Wednesday (4/12/2024).

Iwan said that it is not easy for an ustadz to keep his tongue in a public forum such as recitation. Sometimes the wrong tongue occurs, even losdol which causes uncontrolled speech.

“So what is needed is wisdom in speech and keeping the tongue in speech,” said Iwan.

Iwan assessed that humor can still be done, provided that it does not cause other people to feel dehumanized. Not making statements that hurt other people.

“Continue to maintain humor and cuteness, but start leaving things that cause others to be dehumanized and words that cause others to be hurt,” Iwan said.

Iwan said going to the drink seller and apologizing should be done. “Going to the tea seller and apologizing is the best attitude,” Iwan said.
