Positive idea

From Merdeka

The idea of Minister of Youth and Sports Hayono Isman to hold a seminar on Nawaksara (nine-point accountability speech by RI's first president, Sukarno, before the Provisional People's Consultative Assembly (MPRS) in 1966) is very positive in my opinion. It is a great opportunity for all people, especially young people, to understand clearly the historical role of Bung Karno.

In consideration of the great importance of the matter, I propose to the Minister to openly invite interested groups to attend the seminar, through the media.

It would be odd if the seminar was filled and made use of by the older generation, instead of providing information to the youth. It would be great if all discussions and debates could be heard by as many young people as possible, for their benefit and education.

I am of the younger generation and am looking forward to receiving an invitation from Pak Hayono Isman.
