67th Indonesia's independence day!

17th August 1945 - 17th August 2012 (67 years) Happy independence day my country Indonesia!

Thanks God we already survived from the colonialization from such 67 years ago!
Now in my head hanging two big questions such as:

1. Are we really trully independence country?
i can say maybe my country actually written as independence country but in the reality it's still NOT. globalization and intervening from other countries still really stick in my country. we are still depends on what the developed country wants and doesn't want to stand out with our own will. How come on 21st July 1986 we were got special gold medal from FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization) as one of the biggest country who produces rice and survived by itself. Our first president, Ir. Soekarno even break the record on 7th January 1965 we are the only one country who brave to resigned from United Nation's (UN) members. Now, we even barely can say no to developed country who make investment to our country and let's them to do exploration and excavation in our natural resources without thinking about the long run environment sustainability?

2. What can we do as youth to our country?
ACTION! i don't want to be passive one citizen. we need to stand up again and be survive! Be agent of change to giving positive impact to our society. we really need open our mindset and watch carefully from the good case practice from other countries and reducing our bad case practice. seriously, i doesn't want my country recognized in the world as the most corruption countries or heard some fact the most corruption ministry is religion ministry? what the hell is that? i'm feel ashamed when heard our bad reputation.. we need to show what the beautiful and the good reputation from our countries it is?

I decide to join some organization that can make me participate to giving impact in my society in my last semester in university. are we as youth really care with global issues that happening in our country? for example Entrepreneur and Environment issues? are we already try our best to educate and delivery the key message how important to make such job opportunity in our countries? are we really care to delivery the message about global warming? how come in East Indonesia which always raining and dry season along the year now snow is falling there?? there are so many things that we need to deliver and educate our citizen not just to be accept the way it is but we must fight to get what we want to! Even John. F Kennedy, Last former US President said "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country" .

it seriously a big homework for me as one of indonesian's citizen. we need to wake up soon from this terrible dream and adjust our ryhtm like our neighbour country!

Marilah kita berseru
