<![CDATA[This article aims to examine in depth Gurindam Dua Belas as a means of community communication during the colonial period and its relevance for Generation Z in the millennial era. Gurindam Dua Belas is one of Raja Ali Haji's monumental works that transcends the limits of time. During the colonial period, this work functioned as a medium of mass communication to maintain the moral integrity and religious identity of the people living under the pressure of foreign hegemony. The research method used is qualitative with content analysis in processing primary data and secondary data. The approach is through literature studies because the data used is a collection of literature. The results of the study show that Gurindam Dua Belas is one of the means of communication of the Malay community in the past which is loaded with meaningful content. As a work written during the colonial period, Gurindam Dua Belas was created as an anti-colonial resistance because Raja Ali Haji was a scholar, culturalist, historian, and writer through his many works. The content of the meaning of Gurindam Dua Belas is very relevant for the benefit of generation Z today because it is loaded with content that is in accordance with today's social phenomenon. It can even be used as a filter against the phenomenon of hoaxes and moral decadence on social media.]]>
