Sumpah Pemuda

Sumpah Pemuda is a form of the fighting spirit of the young generation in its time. It is not a new thing, but that spirit deserves to be continued by the youth of today. It is appropriate for the next generation to claim to be Indonesian, to love the homeland, and to respect the Indonesian language. The spirit of nationalism and patriotism is a milestone in enlivening the spirit of being an Indonesian citizen.

Why is it important for the younger generation to continue to voice the spirit of Sumpah Pemuda? In fact, Sumpah Pemuda awakens the spirit of love for the nation and the homeland as a unity, so that the nation’s ideals can be achieved, namely the independence of Indonesia as a unit, knowing the meaning of the Sumpah Pemuda itself is the struggle of young people that each of whom has a different identity but still succeeds to unite and jointly fight for the independence of Indonesia.

Friday, 28th of October 2022, former Indonesian Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Mr. I Gusti Ngurah Ardiyasa in the event “Sumpah Pemuda: Bersatu Bangun Bangsa” invited young Indonesians, especially Generation Z, to explore their potential to prepare themselves for future challenges. These challenges appear in various forms, including: 1) Technology Challenges; 2) Globalization Challenges; 3) Industry Challenges; 4) Moral and Religious Challenges. The development of the potential of young people is needed because of the desire to change the nation for the better. In the process of change, one of the important sustainable aspects is mental revolution.

Therefore, let us as the nation’s young generation continue the fighting spirit of the heroes by contributing to the development of our beloved country, Indonesia. Unite to build the nation!
