Ladies and Gentlemen, in this good opportunity, I
will tell you about preserve national culture and heritage. We all know, our
country has
so many cultures and heritages. Almost every regions in Indonesia have diverse
cultures. Such as in Central Java. We have gamelan, batik, wayang kulit, gambyong
dance, Golek dance, Gathotkaca dance. Another that we have some building too.
Such as, keraton in Yogya and Keraton in Solo, Borobudur temple, Prambanan temple, and many more. It just cultures and heritages in Central
Java, how about in other region? I can’t count how many cultures in Indonesia.
We should proud to Indonesia. Indonesia is a rich country.
Ladies, and gentlemen, with the progress era,
Indonesian cultures are getting lost. Now, the children are prefer to eat fast
food, western food than Indonesian food. The children are prefer to learn about
modern dance than traditional dance. Even, gotong royong, our specific culture
are getting lost too. Whereas, the tourists from other country are prefer for
visiting us, and learn about our cultures. If we all can’t preserve our
culture, our culture will really lost. Besides that, other country can claim
our culture is theirs, because no one of us that still learn about our culture.
So, it’s would be our duty to preserve our culture. This is not time, that we only
closed our eyes, without take care by around us! We can start by doing a little
bit to preserve our culture. Such as, usually speak in traditional language, teach
the students to learn about our culture, by extracurricular program in the
school, repair our heritage buildings that broken down, bring our culture, not
only in National level, but also in International level, so other country in
the world know that culture is ours. And many more.
Ladies and Gentlemen that’s all can I tell you about
preserve our nation culture. I hope, preserve our nation cultures will be our attention
as the new generation, and our cultures never be lost, and be our pride as the
new generation. Don’t wait the time, let’s start to preserve our cultures and
heritages right now. If you all have an opinion, or good idea to preserve our
culture, don’t be afraid to show it and practice it in around us. Thank you for
your attention, have a nice day everyone and good morning.
