Thanks to Bukalapak and BukaTalks for this opportunity for us all
I mean there`s no boundaries for us all to able to share everything that we do
Let`s stop being a generation who only do criticizing the nation
Without making any significant change
Last night, I got an interesting massage about millennials` generation characteristic
Millennials has a similar character with our founding father
Yes, Indonesia`s founding fathers, who`s here when they formed this nation
If we see a message from Moh. Hatta (one of Indonesia`s founding fathers)
Indonesia cannot be lighted only by big torch in Jakarta, but also by lights of candles from the districts around
Writing the Proclamation Text, Mr. Hatta already know that this Republic need to be built and united right from the beginning
Natsir`s Integral Motion is what the nation needed at the time they designing this nation.
Guys, if you look closely, districts in Indonesia have their own great potentials.
Why do you think China become a nation with strong geo-economics and geo-politic today?
Because the isolated themselves for so long, for centuries, which then they do a democratic and economic consolidation with other nation
Then they`d grown into a strong country
They build their districts into a futuristic city
If we can do the same thing in Indonesia
I think it will be the resurrection of Asia-->centrism
While we`ve been lulled by theoretical development of Euro-centrism
With more that 75.000 districts that Indonesia have
and only 1022 district business entities around
dominated by east java, central java and north sumatra
which a district in those regions can earn about 1 to 7 billion in a year.
Imagine what happen if every 75.000 districts can earn 1 billion each.
Then Indonesia can earn about 75 trillion rupiahs a year.
It`s surely can increase our national budget from 1800 trillion rupiahs
And 75 trillion rupiahs are not small number.
A number that will help to strengthen the nation budget.
If we see that South Korea, Japan using product creativity to developing their districts
Building their own identity.
Then Indonesia with all its potentials certainly has the same opportunity.
Our environment itself is a great gift from nature that we supposedly able to manage.
Now, we have more than 50% of productive age off our total population.
Long time ago Indonesia was built by its 70 million population at the time
Soekarno (one of Indonesia`s founding fathers) is a very optimist person
Though 98% of our people was illiterate at the time
Compared 86% illiterate population of Saudi Arabia & Soviet Union people at the time
Soekarno didn`t feel pessimistic at all.
Then, with our opportunity for years ahead, 10, 15 to 20 years; in our productive age
We supposedly can have what the western had when they took their productive age as their golden age.
We need to make sure that these Millennials are not just youngsters grow up in the city
But they`re also spread at the districts, with all that different typology.
That what this nation leader need to capture then, to know what kind of model can be applied to be able to manage their potentials.
Now, if we see these last 2 years with around 60 million rupiahs distributed to rural districts.
With 75000 districts, we have today.
We see that the fund`s distribution still orienting on infrastructure.
Most of the funds issued from city to the district`s pocket used for building roads, pavement, all kind of work.
Focused on infrastructure works.
Because that`s what (government) seen as an intensive labor work.
But with a district that get a fund up to 500 million even 1.5 billion rupiahs in 2019
If the fund didn`t manage by a competent leader who able to develop a local economy creativity.
Those 1 billion rupiahs will be meant nothing.
Compare with if we give a little sum of fund to a person with an innovation and creative competence to manage it. And about the gift of nature, not all the district has it, some of them have dry lands.
That`s when the creativity take place, for the leader to be able to manage the fund wisely.
That`s the challenge, so we have a choice in superstructure,
The constitution court said that a districts leader may be chosen not from local resident
Though it causes quite a huge debate in social media
Usually, district leader election is the domain of the district 'mafia`.
They will choose a candidate with low electability.
Then they can easily direct him (the district leader) and manipulate the district`s fund during the govern period.
And one person eligible to be elected for 3 times period.
Typically, who get elected as the district leader is the one with the most family around the district.
So, district leader is the one with most family around.
So now, the constitution court give the same opportunity to every citizen to develop this nation.
We can develop with no necessary background (in government and politic)
We just let people see our competence
We treat the district as a corporation and the district leader is the CEO
What important is how he/she can develop the district and prepare a strong candidate for next district leader from within the district.
He/she must be able to develop the district autonomy.
Then for me, what important is the selection of human resource.
Imagine, most of our district leaders were only finish their primary school for their education.
I found only several of district leaders who actually high educated, Master graduate, at few districts in central java.
Then they are selected as best district leader by Koran Tempo
This is model we develop in Putra Daerah Membangun Forum, Neo-->Transmigration Model.
We`re tired of what transmigration narated by our government,
Said they (government) prepared a land in rural district so people can move-->back to their hometown
While in reality it`s not that easy
Preparing a rice pad to work on is not enough to build a district
People need entertainment, creativity outlet, place to hang out, and many else
In neo-->transmigration model, people move back to their hometown because of the calling, not because someone make them to do so.
Now, we`re getting closer to Ramadhan, and coming home to home town is what we usually do around the time (Ramadhan & Idul Fitri)
Everyone surely already prepare for that journey home, the ticket and everything.
But with this event, it`s only a seasonal 'come home`, also only for a short time.
But if we add a few words to become 'come and build your hometown`,
surely it has a whole new meaning. It means a continues change will happen, a sustainable change.
A change that open up new opportunities for the unemployed.
A change that bring internet to these rural districts.
A change that bring education for the people of the district,
That`s what we call neo-->transmigration, 'come and build your hometown`.
'putra daerah` hold the meaning not only the boys/girls who were born in that specific district,
but the ones who are remembered by something useful for the people of the district they leave behind.
So often we stuck to the meaning as boys/girls who were born in that specific district,
For me, then you limited the essence of 'putra daerah` it selves.
It will be troubling if this 'putra daerah` won`t participate in their district development.
In our organization, we have someone who was born in Surabaya, but he spends 10 years of his life participate in developing Maluku.
Then we agreed on a definition of 'putra daerah`
It`s not limited for someone who was born and live in the district
But also for someone who stay and actually brought a change to the district.
That`s who we call 'putra daerah`.
It`s base on the outcome, the impact, and change they made.
Now, meritocracy leadership.
In early 2000, we found a new phenomenon.
News on politic and the failed of our nation got us pessimistic at that time.
Either it corruption or gratification or anything else
Then local champion, local leaders emerging.
One of professor at Harvard said, local leaders are future leaders.
They are the people who bring some kind of fresh air to district development.
Unfortunately, they were the one who got the authority, power, resources, funding and everything.
They built through a meritocracy leadership, a track record.
People will like them because they see the journey, the change they made, the impact that shown.
Today, Putra Daerah Membangun compiling from almost 34 provinces in Indonesia From Aceh to Papua,
collecting individuals who are able to live comfortably in the city, but prefer to live in their hometown
something like that they work in the city, but come home on the weekend
brought the 'sugar` to the district, so district people can taste the sweetness of the 'sugar`
that`s when I see, the emerging of meritocracy leadership in our generation, separated from authority and power aspect.
Emerging in our generation, age between 20 to 30.
They present changes, that in previous time can only be done by people with power.
A change that come from humble persons, unmarried, even maybe unemployed
Holding on to their idealism to make the change, they present it and amazed us.
Then become a magnet to others to do the same and make a change.
That`s what I called this generation`s meritocracy leadership, millennials and post-->millennials
This what I think is the future and the face of our nation.
Don`t mind about power, because it`s the matter of position.
It`s the matter about, do you have the calling to make the change?
This is what we do in Putra Daerah Membangun.
There are more than 800.000 people who accept the benefits of our efforts
Distributed all over Indonesia, mostly in Java island, west java specifically.
Our member come from every profession.
They also people who already globally connected
I once said to my student at International Relation Study,
It`s an ordinary thing for an International Relation student to go abroad
But it`s an extraordinary thing for an International Relation student goes to a rural district
Who knows if then we can see globalization from people from outside the city
Seeding and growing and even taught by them
I think it`s how we see the future of Indonesia
A Penta-->Helix, it`s how we see 'the player` got together, 'knitting` new knots
Bukalapak, BukaTalks, take part in this penta-->helix
Become the media, the one who spread the news about changes in the district
Brought us the opportunity for a new hope of change
Then we can see that our villages district not only about rice pads
Just like China, district`s business entities not only about the farm or financing the farm
But about an airplane industry, that we haven`t able to do even on national level 146 00:15:13 --> 00:15:16 Last, Tri-->Nationalism.
This nation stumbling because of a sectoral ego problem.
Since I graduated from Global Trade Diplomatic at Gajah Mada University
Since then until now I`ve been using a motorcycle made in Indonesia
I bought it from Klaten, near Sleman, around that area.
I thought it`s a big sin if I study Global Trade but me using a product made outside Indonesia myself.
What important, this Tri-->Nationalism is a cumulative condition
If a producer make a national product without consumer & support from government, the product won`t sell.
Same thing if we as customer want the product made by Indonesia, but no body make it or sell it, even government won`t initiate it, we`ll get nothing
Also, the same with government regulation, if no producer act on it because the investment too high, more so no market for it, no customer; nothing will also come out of it.
with Tri-->Nasionalism we can realize our dreams, the nation manifest
Connecting these three players to keep the nationalism spirit grow.
For me, tonight has become an important night for Putra Daerah Membangun
We`d like to meet the future of Indonesia, who`s connecting every district
Because there the wealth of nature and people are stored
So back to your hometown, is a way to preserve Indonesia`s future.
Thank you, have a good night.
