THE STRUGGLE OF MODUL NUSANTARA 5 : THE BEAUTIFUL LAND OF TORAJA SOUTH SULAWESI IN THE INDEPENDENT STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM AT UNIVERSITY OF ISLAMIC MAKASSAR



The independent student exchange of University of Islamic Makassar at the Island of Toraja, South Sulawesi (LO MN5)

Destri Fazryani Lestari

Jakarta, Dec 18th 2023 – Students throughout Indonesia have the opportunity to try programs created by KEMENDIKBUD (Mr. Nadiem Anwar Makarim, B.A., M.B.A.). One of the programs he created is the independent student exchange or what is called (PMM), where students throughout Indonesia are allowed to choose the intended campus to exchange with students on other campuses. Until now, the PMM program has entered batch 3 which will soon finish its program period.

Makassar Islamic University is one of the campuses that opens for PMM students. In each PMM activity, students not only learn about academics on other campuses, but will be introduced to the culture, variety and ethnicity in each region.

One of the PMM 2 students, Ilham Asta, a student of public administration science from UPN Veteran East Java shared his experience during the student exchange program. "I first joined this program because I was invited by my classmates, as time went on until we finally graduated together with the same destination campus, I finally enjoyed Makassar.", "Makassar for me is a new city that I visited, a lot of natural beauty that I got there and a very cool culture that I only knew the original after learning directly to the place."

The PMM program has an activity called the Nusantara Module (MN) which will be accompanied by 1 supervisor and 1 LO. At UIM, it is divided into 5 Nusantara Modules, each MN also has different activities every week. The land of Toraja is the last destination by all MNs, except MN 5 because many destinations have consumed a lot of budget costs in each activity, they are also one of the MNs who managed to have activities to the top of Mount Bulusaraung.

According to Ilham and his MN 5 friends, it would be lacking if there was an opportunity to go to South Sulawesi but could not step on the Land of Toraja because the people there are still thick with customs and there are many cultures that must be learned there. Until finally they made a business, looking for their own funds to get to the Land of Toraja. Starting from photo services using Ilham cameras and printing them, Jastip souvenirs typical of Makassar and Tanah Toraja, to NOIR (Nongkrong Terakhir) with the target of PMM 2 UIM students and throughout Indonesia. Until we were named the "DANUS Group".

The supervisor of MN 5, Muhammad Iqbal, one of the UIM Pharmacist lecturers and also a lecturer for the archipelago 5 module, said he was proud of his MN 5 students, "I am very proud of them, they are great children, have ambitions that make people who see them amazed because of their strong sense of family to be able to go to the land of Toraja with their own funds without using any of their personal money, which of course to get to the land of Toraja can reach 300-400 per person multiplied by 21 students, not to mention me and my family and several people or brothers who they invited to go there."

For all students who participated in this exchange program, it has its own impressions, especially MN 5. They not only learn about academics and local culture, but they can also learn how they are responsible for what they start, practice a sense of family, practice how to do business in a foreign city, which will certainly build their confidence and meaningful experiences for them.

With this KEMENDIKBUD program, especially PMM, it will be very beneficial for all students in Indonesia. Students are given many facilities that are sufficient to become a superior generation for the country.

A. Interview

            The author conducted an interview on Saturday which was conducted via zoom.

Ilham Asta is in East Java (Surabaya), Muhammad Iqbal (Makassar).

Destri: Hello sir, ilham, how are you doing there?

Ilham : well, thank God des, how are you in Jakarta?

Mr. Iqbal: Hi Destri, son of Jakarta, it's good here.

Destri: I'm good ham, Jakarta is also good to me. It's been a long time since we met. As I said before, I want to explore a little bit about MN5 who was desperate to go to Toraja,

Mr. Iqbal: There are so many stories when you go there, I am one of the real witnesses who feel the results of your hard work.

Ilham: Yes sir, there are so many stories that we made while there, it is also because of one of Mr. Iqbal's teachings that made us have the courage to get there.

Destri: It's really interesting, I was also one of the witnesses of Ilham's initial struggle, how ambitious it was to bring us MN 5 to the Land of Toraja. You were also the first pioneer, right ham, who awakened the enthusiasm of the children to work together to raise funds during our trip there.

Ilham : yeah, I also did this because of the persistence of the children who wanted to go to Toraja, I just helped a little to create business opportunities that I had previously done myself, and MN 5's businesses were the result of discussions with the children concerned. We have our own team to do the business, some are in charge of finances, some are responsible for finding goods, and so on. I don't hold it all by myself, there is also the intervention of friends, even those who promote it are also friends.

Destri: How long did it take for you and your friends to raise the funds to get back to Toraja?

Ilham: In just about 1 month, we were able to raise around 10 million rupiah. It was divided into several sessions such as photo services carried out in the second week, because in the first week we prepared everything needed. The next week we prepared jastip souvenirs of Makassar by visiting shops in Makassar. The following week we were desperate to go to Toraja with makeshift funds and some temporary joint venture from the children. Until Toraja we opened a jastip of Toraja souvenirs which was very booming at that time until our team was troubled, but from the excitement the results were very satisfying. Returning from Toraja, we continued to look for funds to buy goods for Makassar souvenirs. And in the last week we made NOIR which was an event for the entire UIM PMM 2 before returning home, the results were huge. From the results of everything, it greatly covers the funds that were lacking before.

Destri: wahh. Your journey is very long to get to the Land of Toraja, then your opinion as the supervisor of MN 5 is reckless, sir, initially to get to Toraja.

Mr. Iqbal: Of course, I'm very proud of them, they're not from Makassar but they can make their own money in a foreign city, and the great thing is that they can find a good opportunity track. Before that they asked me for my opinion, and I can only believe and guide them, help them a little, the rest is obviously their own results.

Destri: What are your and ilham's hopes for everyone who is and will be participating in this program?

Mr. Iqbal: MN 5 means a lot to me, you could say my first love in this PMM. my hope is that I can find more great students like them. But as a bottom line, MN 5 will always be in my heart even though there will be many people I meet later.

Ilham : I agree with Mr. Iqbal, I just met the greatness of the country's children who can unite to achieve success together, hopefully there will be many new lessons for all students in Indonesia who take part in this program.

Destri: Thank you sir and ilham, indeed this kemendikbud program is one of the ways to build the nation's generation to be more advanced, hopefully this program will continue to run yes.
