Today, August 17th 2015, is the day when Indonesian people celebrate their independence day. This date, 70 years ago, was the date when Soekarno declare Indonesia's independence, right after Japan get two nuclear attacks from US. After the declaration, it did not mean that the fights and struggles are stop. The battles still continue in various locations. But Indonesian fighters did not gave up. Merdeka atau Mati. Independent or Death, is the slogan at that time.
Today, Indonesian enemies are not coming in physical invasions. They can take form as corruption, laziness, or bad cultural infiltration. Today, there are still many locations that has poor sanitation, poor environmental management, malnutrition, and other problems. But there are also few hopes from this country. Gold medal in science competition, small-scale business that can be a trigger for economic growth, and implementation of advance technology in military, fisheries, and environment.
This is a video about 70 years of Indonesia, a compilation of pictures with a soundtrack from Nuha Experience of Mel Shandy and Sexy Rock.
Enjoy.....
