Unity in Diversity

Red and white archipelago
Garuda di dadaku ♥

A tumblog created to raise awareness of what our nation has to offer our fellow Indonesians.

This blog is run by a 17-year old Indonesian of Minang-Sunda-Aceh-Jawa (but likes to consider self more as a Minang) origin who is fluent at speaking Indonesian, although to be quite frank, not much of an expert in writing Indonesian in a proper manner.
However, this fact will never be a reason to not love and be passionate about Indonesia wholeheartedly, because Indonesia is the best country in the world ♥
I dare you state otherwise. Your argument will be invalid :)

♥ "Rendang" Voted as the Most Delicious Food in the World

allaboutindonesia:

I can personally verify that “Rendang”, a curried meat dish that originated from Minangkabau, West Sumatra, is delicious indeed.

CNN’s Go readers agree, with over 5,400 votes for Rendang, in a recent Facebook survey on delicious foods.

Cheers,

Proud Indonesian

The Indonesian Flag: The red stands for courage, while the white stands for purity. The red represents human’s body or physical life, while white represents human’s soul or spiritual life. Together they stand for a complete human being.
— Wikipedia
Kalau kau tak sanggup menjadi beringin yang tegak di puncak bukit, jadilah saja belukan, tapi belukan terbaik yang tumbuh di tepi danau. Kalau kau tak sanggup menjadi belukan, jadilah saja rumput, tapi rumput yang memperkuat tanggul pinggiran jalan. Tidak semua jadi kapten, tentu harus ada awak kapalnya. Bukan besar kecilnya tugas yang menjadikan tinggi rendahnya nilai dirimu. Jadilah saja dirimu, sebaik-baiknya dirimu sendiri.
— Soe Hok Gie (1942-1969)

Cinematic Taxations

Has anyone else heard about the soon-to-be cinematic taxation law in Indonesia? Meaning no more imported movies. I understand that this is a patriotic blog that supposedly should somehow support this movement by the government as it somewhat benefits the country’s economy and the Indonesian cinematography. But I’m sorry to say, I could not contemplate any sensible reason that makes this acceptable to be approved.

First of all, we are not a communist country. In fact, communism is far from being legal. Recently we were named one of the most democratic countries in the world. So why does this not apply? Putting this law is similar to like adopting communism and slowly transforming this country into a communist country.

Anyway, what do you think? For further argumentation, you could read this article: http://bit.ly/i8VYEt
