The need of spirit of nationalism

before, let's thank to Allah SWT because until today there is nothing wrong with us. praise be to god :)

i'm really grateful because i am given time and opportunity here, in addition it's really great appreciation for me because i can be in front of the respected people like you. thank you very much.
in this opportunity, i want to deliver my speech about "THE NEED OF SPIRIT OF NATIONALISM"

in south east asia right under equator, there is a beautiful country called indonesia, our country.
the beauty of this country is well known until other countries in the world. no wonder, many people want to come to indonesia.they want to see the beauty of indonesia, although they are away from indonesia. absolutely, we must be proud to be indonesians. apart from its beauty, this country has long history and bitter experience.

in the past, our people lived in poverty, they were oppressed and forced to work for the colonialist. time by time, they couldn't stand as the result of oppresion. finally, they came forward againts the colonialist. they had to go to the battlefield with high spirit.

nowdays, indonesia has become an independent state. we don't have to go to the battlefield anymore. unfortunately, the spirit of nationalism is beginning to fade. almost everyday, we get information a bout corruption. corruption is positively a betraya besouse this action can couse many bad effects.we have to keep the spirit of nationalism so that we can develop indonesia as a great country, a country where the people can get walfare and justice.to make it possible, the spirit of nationalism is absolutely needed. besides we must avoid doing mean things that can ruin this country.
