Jakarta Acting Governor, Teguh Setyabudi became the Inspector of the Heroes' Day Commemoration Ceremony at the Jakarta Provincial Government, Sunday (11/10) at the South Plaza of Monas, Central Jakarta.
Never get tired of doing your best to emulate and inherit the values of heroism
Reading the welcoming speech of the Minister of Social, he urged the entire community to emulate the struggle of the heroes in building the nation.
The form of struggle always changes from year to year, due to the influence of changes in the nation's strategic environment.
Acting Governor Teguh Inaugurates Marullah Matali as Regional Secretary"In every era, there will be different challenges, opportunities, strengths and limitations. Hence, the spirit of heroism must spread to the spirit of building, creating community prosperity, realizing lifelong social protection, realizing inclusive social welfare for people everywhere," he expressed, as quoted by Jakarta Government's press release.
He also said that the progress of a nation is not only measured by its ability to pursue economic growth, but also by its ability to manage social problems.
Because the tasks of the previous heroes have been completed, and they succeeded in realizing Indonesia's independence, it is hoped that now a hero figure will emerge who will provide enlightenment, provide hope, and carry out honorable actions to bring the Indonesian nation to achieve progress in various areas of life.
"All of that can be done by anyone. Therefore, hopefully the commemoration of Heroes' Day from year to year is not just a birthday repeating what we routinely do. We also hope that at every moment of the Commemoration of Heroes' Day a new spirit will emerge, and the figure of an Indonesian citizen will emerge who has succeeded in issuing new innovations to implement heroic values according to the current challenges," he explained.
"In the end, never get tired of doing your best to emulate and inherit the values of heroism. Let us implement the nature of heroism and social solidarity in the midst of society starting from ourselves, starting from the smallest things that can be done around us for the benefit of society," he added.
Jakarta DPRD Chairman, Khoirudin hoped that the commemoration of Heroes' Day could be implemented by all regional apparatuses within the Jakarta Government in maintaining the spirit of professionalism in serving the community.
