Haedar, at Muhammadiyah Tanwir, highlights oligarchy, national unity

PP Muhammadiyah Chairman Haedar Nashir highlighted the threat of economic and political oligarchy at the opening of Tanwir and the 114th anniversary of Muhammadiyah in Palu, Central Sulawesi, on Saturday. Before President Prabowo Subianto, Haedar said national unity must be protected through three dimensions: socio-cultural, economic and political. On the economic side, he warned that inequality in welfare caused by control of wealth by certain groups could damage solidarity. He then quoted Surah Al-Hasyr verse 7, saying wealth should not circulate only among the rich. Haedar also said political oligarchy practices could undermine democracy, and stressed that national life must continue to rest on religion, the nation's culture and Pancasila.
