Be good citizens

Be good citizens

From Suara Karya

The 50th anniversary of our country's independence is fast approaching. After 50 years of independence Indonesia should be mature enough. In the course of its history, the country has been tarnished by a number of wrongdoings such as corruption, manipulation, and other evil deeds committed by irresponsible people.

We heard the wise words spoken by our president in relation to the demonstration held against him during his visit to Germany recently. He said: "This is an era of madness, those who are not crazy won't get their share, but the fortunate ones are those who are always near to God and vigilant."

We can conclude from the above saying that we should have pride in our country and thus devote our lives to it and at the same time follow the path that is sanctified by God. Only by so behaving will we become a respected nation.
