Here we are preparing to welcome Independence Day on August 17, even though up to now the Republic of Indonesia has not fully recognized us, who were also born, raised, went to school and grew up intelligent in this country.
We may return to Indonesia only as visitors, not as innovators who are fully accepted to serve and share our work.
We don't need money. We don't need positions. We are not hungry for power, let alone corruption.
We just want to be grateful, convey our love to the people and this nation, before Allah SWT calls us forever.
Hopefully there will still be leaders of this country, officials, representatives of the people, or anyone entrusted by history, who will be aware and moved that we, the Indonesian diaspora, still really love this country.
Indonesia remains in our hearts. Will never go away.
Best regards,
Surachman Dimyati
