17 August 1945 - 17 August 2024. The term #Independence has been commonly translated and understood as the equivalent of freedom. It is not. It is much more that that. It is a word describing the ability of one to be #responsible on its own journey, #expert of its own craft, #trusted to carry its own life with increasingly comprehensive #knowledge to navigate the future. And the ultimate state of independence is becoming #dependable. #Empowering others to be independent and championing the spirit of #GotongRoyong to deliver a greater good. Happy 79th Independence Day, Indonesia. Be an expert, be trusted, be dependable.

Nationalism is far more than just the language we speak—it's about the values we uphold, the actions we take, and the contributions we make to our nation. It’s disheartening when my patriotism is questioned simply because I choose to communicate in a language other than Bahasa, with remarks like, “You’re Indonesian, right? So why don’t you speak Bahasa?” Being Indonesian isn’t defined by the language we use but by our deep love for our country and our unwavering dedication to its progress. We must challenge the outdated notion that equates nationalism with language alone. As we strive toward 'Indonesia Emas 2045,' a future where Indonesia is a leading global power, we need to embrace a broader perspective. This includes recognizing that diversity can be a strength, not a weakness. To achieve this vision, we must cultivate an open mindset that values progress over conformity. For my part, I’m committed to empowering the next generation of Indonesians, helping them develop the strength and clarity to know what they stand for and what they’re willing to fight for in life. A strong, self-aware youth is essential for our nation’s future. This is my contribution to Indonesia—a commitment to nurturing a resilient, forward-thinking generation that will lead us into a brighter future. So, I ask you, what have you done to shape the future of our beloved country? How are you contributing to the vision of a prosperous and thriving Indonesia? Let’s reflect on our roles and consider how we can do even more. Happy 79th Independence Day, Indonesia! Together, let’s continue to strive for greatness, building a nation we can all be proud of! “What are your wishes for this 79th Independence Day?” #Happy7thIndependenceDay #Indonesia79 #Merdek #nationalism #loveIndonesia

The world marvels at the Philippines, a nation that defies the stereotypical narrative of wealth and progress. While towering malls and gleaming skyscrapers stand as testaments to economic development, the Filipino spirit remains rooted in a simple, joyful, and resilient way of life. This paradox is what makes the Filipino soul so unique and captivating. Instead of chasing material possessions, Filipinos prioritize family, community, and the simple pleasures of life. They find joy in shared meals, boisterous celebrations, and the camaraderie of their neighbors. This inherent contentment shines through in their online presence, where they readily share their rural landscapes, vibrant festivals, and heartwarming moments of everyday life. The Filipino spirit is not defined by material wealth but by the richness of their relationships and their unwavering optimism. Even in the face of natural disasters, Filipinos demonstrate an unparalleled resilience, turning adversity into an opportunity to celebrate life. They find humor in hardship, support each other with unwavering generosity, and ultimately emerge stronger from every challenge. This innate ability to find joy in the simplest things, to embrace life's ups and downs with a smile, and to prioritize connection over material gain is what truly sets Filipinos apart. It's a testament to their enduring spirit, a spirit that inspires the world to look beyond the superficial and embrace the true essence of human happiness.

Selamat Hari Merdeka, Malaysia! Last Saturday, we celebrated 67 years of unity, freedom, and the remarkable journey of our beloved nation. As Malaysians, we come together to honor our shared history, diverse cultures, and the values that make us stronger as a community. May this Independence Day inspire us to continue working towards a brighter, more prosperous future for all Malaysians. Let's cherish our rich heritage and work hand-in-hand to build a nation that we can all be proud of. P.S. You might notice I'm wearing a "Fear of BOD" shirt. For those unfamiliar, BOD stands for Biochemical Oxygen Demand. In the water industry, BOD is a crucial parameter that measures the amount of oxygen required by microorganisms to break down organic matter in water. High BOD levels can indicate pollution, which can harm aquatic life and affect water quality. Monitoring and managing BOD is essential to ensure clean and safe water for all. Happy Merdeka Day, everyone! 🎉🎆 #Merdeka2024 #MalaysiaIndependenceDay #UnityInDiversity #ProudMalaysian #WaterQuality #BODAwareness

🇮🇩 Rising for Indonesia's Golden Future in 2045 🇮🇩 On this "Hari Kebangkitan Nasional (National Awakening Day)", we commemorate the spirit of "awakening" that ignited our nation's journey toward independence. It was on May 20, 1908, that young intellectuals and leaders formed "Budi Utomo", the first indigenous political organization in Indonesia. Their vision was clear: to awaken the collective consciousness, foster unity, and empower our people. As we mark 116 years since that pivotal moment, let us reflect on our progress. From the struggle against colonial rule to the challenges of modern times, we continue to rise. Our theme this year, "Bangkit untuk Indonesia Emas (Rising for Indonesia's Golden Future)",, resonates deeply. It reminds us that our efforts today shape the legacy we leave for generations to come. Looking ahead to 2045, the centenary of Indonesia's independence, we envision a nation that gleams like gold. A future where innovation, education, and sustainable development flourish. A future where our diversity is our strength, and our shared values propel us forward. Let's celebrate our resilience, unity, and determination. Together, we build a brighter Indonesia—one that shines even brighter by 2045. CC; PT.

Singapore is more genuine than we in the west are. Majula means "onwards singapura - these are the malay words - Malay is a national language in Singapore - it is very easy to learn as it phonetically follows the same  principles of English.  Chinese is very difficult - Malay is very easy.  Singapore makes money not excuses. This is because Singaporeans still remember what it feels like ..to starve  Prior to you experiencing starvation - the question of your intelligence - the only evidence of which is your humility - does not even arise!  The west is an expert at selling what is superficial - arrogance - we call it creativity. There is no marketing for it. There is a market for EMPATHY - there is none for creativity - so don't waste your time with it. Creativity is dodging the bullet - avoiding the harsh decisions required to make you relevant - creativity does not make you rich, affable, interesting it intelligent - it makes you IRRITATING. 

Discover your cultural confidence. How well do you really understand those who live differently from you? What's the point? Because a healthy society depends on us understanding 'other'. Understanding other cultures with our hearts, minds and actions. In our country we are seeing this right now. Those who can truly understand other and those who cannot. Those who unite and those who divide. How to unite with other: Cultural Competence is about what you know. Cultural Capability is about what you do with it. Confidence is how you get there. Competence + confidence = capability And all this takes courage. I have put together a quiz for you to reflect on your cultural confidence. I have used te ao Māori as a 'lens' for reflecting on your cultural confidence, because the values of the Māori world are the best place to start for those of us living in Aotearoa. Have a go. https://lnkd.in/g6zpbJQ7
