Article 32 of the Constitution therefore shows that the Indonesian national
culture represents the realization of all the Indonesian people’s active
reaction to their environment and to the challenges of history. Endeavours
to develop national culture require the participation of all sectors of the
Indonesian community as well as that of the government. The government’s
part is to give overall directives and to provide for incentives as
implied by the Constitution and other state laws and regulations that are
connected with cultural life and development.
