What people are saying
IPM is based among students. Therefore, IPM must be able to represent students’ needs. IPM is also a forum for struggle and a movement to shape national character. This movement will shape our thoughts, our souls and our character.
Whatever the community’s problems are, you must understand them and be able to solve them. If they need to be addressed together with the government, communicate with the government.
I hope IPM Magelang will be at the forefront of rebuilding national character grounded in faith and sincerity.
