JakartaChairwoman of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), Megawati Soekarnoputri, questioned the numerous taglines used in today’s era.
He was also puzzled as to why no one wrote the tagline “Indonesia Raya” and instead wrote different names.
“I am someone who likes to observe everything, I wonder why there are so many taglines as if people forget that we are called Indonesia Raya, so I question myself, please answer me why there are so many taglines like Indonesia Kerja?” “Golden Indonesia and so on and so forth, in my opinion, those are not clear and I can be held accountable for that,” Megawati wondered while delivering a political speech at the 52nd anniversary of PDIP, at the Party School, Jalan Lenteng Agung Jakarta, Friday (10/1/2025).
Megawati wants the tagline used to be only Indonesia Raya and nothing else. Because when hearing that word, the sense of pride felt enters the heart.
“I want Indonesia Raya, because its flag seems to wave all the way to here (the heart), but with that, there are still those who are pessimistic about whether Indonesia can do it,” said Megawati.
Megawati also reminded that Indonesia is a very rich country, and this is reflected in the national anthem, which consists of three stanzas created by WR Supratman.
Megawati’s Message
“Indonesia is very rich, please sing the Indonesia Raya three stanzas, why does the PDI struggle I ask if we don’t raise the flag then it must be three stanzas?” because what is extraordinary, in my opinion, is that WR Supratman dared to extract from thought and heart,” said Megawati.
Megawati conveyed that her message serves as a reminder to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren because what PDIP fights for is their future, not for power or wealth.
“Actually, why am I even making this opening speech?” We do not live for the present, but for the future of our nation, for our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, because if not, who will continue? Are we only seeking power? Are we only going to seek money? This is a big question! I bequeath this not just for our descendants but for how Indonesia achieves greatness and endures through the ages,” Megawati concluded.
