Indepedence Day

Indonesia, 16 Agustus 2011

I was born, grew up and live in Indonesia, until today. I am proud to be Indonesian, with a rich source of natural energy and beauty of nature, and also rich in tradition and culture. Batik, Wayang Kulit, Rendang, Bali, Lombok, Lake Toba, Raja Ampat, Jogyakarta are part of Indonesia characteristic. With one Motto: Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, (Old Javanese). Berbeda-beda tapi satu jua . UNITY in DIVERSITY.

Also live with one national ideology, Pancasila. Five principles of Pancasila:

Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa
Kemanusiaan yang Adil dan Beradab
Persatuan Indonesia
Kerakyatan yang Dipimpin oleh Hikmat Kebijaksanaan dalam Permusyawaratan / Perwakilan
Keadilan Sosial bagi Seluruh Rakyat Indonesia

Garuda Pancasila is used as an emblem of the State to illustrate that Indonesia is a nation great and strong country. Golden color of the Garuda Pancasila symbolizes the grandeur and glory. Garuda Pancasila has a beak, wings, tail, and claws which symbolizes development power. Garuda Pancasila represents the number of feathers on the proclamation of Indonesian independence on August 17, 1945, include :

17 feathers on each wing
8 pieces of fur on the tail
19 strands of hair under the shield or on the base of the tail
45 strands of hair on the neck

I want to sing one national song title Garuda Pancasila lyric by Sudharnoto :

Garuda Pancasila
Akulah pendukungmu
Patriot proklamasi
Sedia berkorban untukmu

Pancasila dasar negara

Rakyat adil makmur sentausa

Pribadi bangsaku

Ayo maju maju

Thank you for all the heroes who have fought to defend the independence of the Republic Indonesia and all the heroes who have done the best things for the glory of Indonesia. I am proud with all of you. Let us fill the independence with the positive things the best we can do.

Happy Anniversary Indonesia.

Cheers,
