Youth Pledge

Few days ago, on October 28, it was the day of "Sumpah Pemuda" or Youth Pledge (in Indonesia). The Youth Pledge (Bahasa: Sumpah Pemuda), was a declaration made on 28 October 1928 by young Indonesian nationalists at a conference in the then-Dutch East Indies. They proclaimed three ideals, one motherland, one nation and one language. -source

As a youth myself, I'm proud as an Indonesian. But governor nowadays kinda sucks... Only few are know how to serve our country, beloved Indonesia....

Here's the content of the Sumpah Pemuda (with the original spelling)

Pertama
Kami poetera dan poeteri Indonesia, mengakoe bertoempah darah jang satoe, tanah air Indonesia.
Kedoea
Kami poetera dan poeteri Indonesia, mengakoe berbangsa jang satoe, bangsa Indonesia.
Ketiga
Kami poetera dan poeteri Indonesia, mendjoendjoeng bahasa persatoean, bahasa Indonesia.


In English

Firstly
We the sons and daughters of Indonesia, acknowledge one motherland, Indonesia.
Secondly
We the sons and daughters of Indonesia, acknowledge one nation, the nation of Indonesia.
Thirdly
We the sons and daughters of Indonesia, uphold the language of unity, Indonesian.


HORAS FOR ALL THE YOUTH IN INDONESIA!!
