Indonesia becomes more mature

Indonesia becomes more mature

From Neraca

With the passing of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the country's independence, we have become more mature. Indonesia's freedom was hard fought for. Our patriots were fighting without expecting any reward because they only had one motto: "be free or die."

The present generation is enjoying the results of development. A lot has been achieved by Indonesia to the amazement of the world communities. All these achievements can no doubt be attributed to the struggle of our predecessors -- heroes and heroines. They will be remembered forever by future generations.
