The City of Bima was chosen as the venue for the 2022 Santri Day Commemoration Ceremony, because Bima has a religious community.

When Indonesia calls, Santri never say no, Santri always dedicate his life to the nation and state.
“It must be known together, in the struggle to seize and defend Indonesia, TNI cannot be separated from the Santri. General Sudirman’s journey of struggle as a Commander in Chief cannot be separated from his childhood life, where his body and soul were shaped by a family environment that adheres to the teachings of Islam,” said Pangdam.
The Pangdam told that the Commander-in-Chief General Sudirman was the father of the Indonesian National Armed Forces who received education to become a Santri at an Islamic Boarding School, so that TNI and the Santri had a very close and inseparable relationship like water and fish.
“Hopefully, this Santri Day commemoration does not belong to the Santri alone, Santri Day belongs to all of us, to all components of the nation who love their homeland and to those who have firmness in upholding religious values, human dignity and national values for the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. “said Pangdam.
On this occasion, the Commander of the Regional Military Command also invited to pray for the heroes, especially from the Ulama, Kyai and Santri who had been martyred on the battlefield for the benefit of the nation and religion. The Commander in Chief prayed that the spirits of the nation’s heroes would find the best place in the sight of Allah SWT.
“I am as Pangdam IX/Udayana, would like to thank all the elements of Indonesian society, especially NTB that rejoicing in celebrating Santri Day 2022. Happy Santri Day 2022, Empowered to Maintain Human Dignity,” thereby assertive the Pangdam.
In his press conference to the media after the ceremony, Pangdam said that he along with Danrem 162/WB and the NTB Regional Police Chief had come to Bima City in NTB to invite all Santri to fulfill their independence by working in all fields and to eliminate the stigma associated with negative things for the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia.
