Mewujudkan insan yang berkualitas dan bermanfaat bagi sesama adalah nilai-nilai yang mendasari realisasi program pengabdian masyarakat dengan sasaran anak-anak panti asuhan Muhammadiyah di daerah Malang dan sekitarnya. Berdasarkan observasi dan wawancara dengan Majelis Pelayanan Sosial, kegiatan ini dilaksanakan dengan pertimbangan (1) anak-anak panti minim mendapatkan materi dan pendampingan tentang teknis menulis karya sastra, (2) belum banyak media untuk menampung kreatifitas menulis kreatif bagi anak-anak panti, (3) minimnya event pelatihan menulis yang menghasilkan publikasi karya sastra, dan (4) perlunya apresiasi untuk mempublikasikan karya tulis terpilih baik dalam wujud cetak maupun daring.

Realizing qualified and beneficial human beings are values that underlie the realization of community service programs targeting Muhammadiyah orphanage children in Malang and surrounding areas. Based on observations and interviews with the Social Services Assembly, this activity was carried out with the consideration that (1) the orphanage children had minimal material and assistance on technical writing of literary works, (2) there were not many media to accommodate creative writing creativity for orphans, ( 3) the lack of writing training events that result in the publication of literary works, and (4) the need for appreciation for publishing selected written works both in print and online. The results of LKSA santri creative essay writing training are planned to be published as a compilation book of literary works. Unfortunately, based on the results of the training, 50 percent were able to write poetry, 40 percent liked writing short stories, and the rest were short opinions. However, 40 percent of them need improvement in writing. Therefore, it is necessary to follow up on training activities to improve the writing of each student.Keywords: Literacy; Malang; Muhammadiyah; Santri; Literature.

This article examines the role of local governments in facing the threat of terrorism in Indonesia, selecting as a case study the Malang Raya region, which consists of Malang City, Malang Regency, and Batu City. The selection of these three regional governments is interesting because some of the suspected terrorists were arrested and arranged their actions to some other places in Indonesia from this region. By using the concept of securitization, this research finds that the securitization done by the local governments is influenced by internal and external modalities they have for facing terrorism. Therefore, the mapping of the modalities in this research contributes to the local governments gaining more legitimacy in constructing threats and make speech acts work well. It is also the modalities which determine whether the process will be successful or failed. However, there were some obstacles found which encouraged the government to collaborate with other stakeholders, such as civil societies from Pesantren, to face the issues of terrorism in the region.
