Independent nation

Independent nation

From Suara Karya

Information on technological developments is readily available via the Internet. Unless we strengthen our morality and faith as a civilized nation, our culture will be subjugated by foreign influences.

Now that we are striving to free ourselves from the ongoing crisis, we must rise up to be an independent nation. We have to cut our reliance on foreign powers.

In this context, democracy is of great significance, as only a democratic life can provide us with the necessary freedom of action. It is time for us to create our own technology for our own benefit. It is time for us to stop being a consumer nation. We must not be simply users of other nations' industrial products. We must produce our own products!
