Assalamualaikum Wr.

The Honorable our judges, and The Honourable all of my teachers.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Loving our motherland is a value of morality which becomes thinner day by day. The existence of free
market and foreign culture which come in freely is one of the causes why the love for our motherland
and all of the culture inside it begins to fade out. Even, it feels difficult to find teenagers who respect the
country’s ideologies in this modern era.

Growing the love for the motherland is not easy. This love should be started from our heart naturally.
For example, if we have children at home, we can tell them the history of our nation in their spare time
as the substitution of the fairy tale. Besides, we can also encourage them to listen to national songs.

Ladies and gentlemen,

As students, there are many things that we can do to realize our love to our country. For example, we
can study diligently as the effort to be high quality young generation. Moreover, we can always use our
national language, bahasa Indonesia, and local languages to communicate in daily life. Even though
there are many slang languages that are used by young people, we must try to use our language well
and right. Loving our motherland can be started by caring and respecting the symbols of countries, such
as our flag, and Garuda. We also have to love domestic product. Even though there are so many
imported goods nowadays, we have to be sure that those goods have same quality with the local
products.

School is one of the places that could be a mean to grow the love for our motherland. At school, we can
learn about our cultures, historical places, temples, local cultures, and traditional dances. We can know
our heroes by learning history subject. Celebrating heroes’ day, Kartini day, and Independence Day are
also the realization of loving Indonesia. From those things that we can do to show our love to Indonesia,
there is one thing that is really basic and important for us. Being the best version of ourselves and
bringing benefit for people who need us are the best form of expressing our love to our motherland,
Indonesia.

Ladies and gentlemen,

That was all about my speech, I hope that what I deliver can useful for us. Thank you very much for your
nice attention. Peace and love for Indonesia. Show your contribution to Indonesia as the form of love.

Wassalamu'alaikum Wr.Wb
