    Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb. First of all, let us praise to the Almighty Allah SWT, because of His Blessing we are able to attend this English speech contest. Secondly, may peace be upon the prophet Muhammad Saw who has guided us from the darkness into the brightness. I also would like to say many thanks to the juries and MC who have given me opportunity to deliver an English speech entitled: The Independence of the people of Indonesia. Ladies and Gentlemen, I start my speech by reading the proclamation text of the Indonesian independence. PROCLAMATION We, the people of Indonesia, hereby declare the independence of Indonesia. Matters which concern the transfer of power and other things will be executed by careful means and in the shortest possible time. Djakarta, 17 august 1945 In the name of the people of Indonesia Soekarnohatta Ladies and Gentlemen, As we all know, for more than 300 years, our country had lived under the colonialism and imperialism by other countries, starting from Portuguese, English, Netherlands, and Japanese. During the colonialism, our people lived in suffer and poverty. There were no dignity and freedom as the existence of human being

    The history of our people in struggling against the colonialism was based on the dignity as the human being. At first, the fighting was done by the local kingdoms from all over Indonesian territories. It was carried out separately and therefore the colonialists were able to stop it. At the beginning of 19th century, there was a new perspective on the way of how to struggle against the colonialism. The new perspective was that Indonesian people should unite and not struggle separately. The Indonesian people should be together to reach the freedom. The efforts were not only by weapon but also diplomacy. It could be said that everything we did; it was for the sake of independence free from the colonialism. Ladies and Gentlemen, The culmination of all struggles done by the Indonesian people happened on Friday, 17th August, 1945. On the behalf of all the people of Indonesia, Soekarno Hatta proclaimed the independence of Indonesia. The proclamation indicated that a new nation was born. It was the reflection of the unity of Indonesian people after for many years sacrificing with tears and blood Brothers and sisters, Today, we live in an independent country. We live in a nation which is free from colonialism and imperialism. We live in a beautiful country Indonesia. But, have we ever asked ourselves: Is Indonesia truly free from colonialism? Is our country truly independent from imperialism? Ladies and Gentlemen; Brothers and Sisters, It is a fact that our situation now is different with the past. We dont bring the weapon and yell out freedom!! We dont face the colonialists and shout them go to hell!! We are now in the situation of big global wave globalization. We live in a world that there is no limitation to interact among the countries. There is no handicap to access any kinds of information. This is, the new dimension of colonialism. It refers to the way in influencing and furthermore destructing a country from the side of culture. A country without its own culture will become a group of people without identity. Culture, is the dignity of human being. Look at around us!

    There are many bad effects of globalization influencing the attitudes of our society. Drugs, free-sex, and also the misuse of technology are some examples of the bad effects caused by the new colonialism. The globalization itself is actually the consequence of the global development. It cannot be stopped, but its bad effects can be reduced in order to make our country survive. Brothers and Sisters, That is our challenging now. That is our struggle to defense the existence of our nation. Our struggle is to fulfill this independence with working and creating a better life for our society. Our struggle is to fight against corruption, collusion and nepotism. And the last, our struggle is to keep our culture survive in the era of globalization. Finally I would like to remind all of us. Our founding fathers had fought and struggled to reach the independence of this country. It is now our duty to take care of it. So, let us keep this country survive. Long live Indonesia Long live Indonesia! Thats all my speech Thank you very much for your attention. Wassalamualaikum Wr.Wb.
