Yadnya Prakerti + ([EN] Most of the procedures for making off … [EN] Most of the procedures for making offerings in Bali come from Yadnya Prakerti Scripture. This scripture is one of the most important ones for Saratis. A sarati is a person in charge of making banten (offerings) in various types of ceremonies. The leader of the Saratis is called Tapini or Tarpini, who is usually a woman. Tapini is also a title for a priest's wife who has knowledge and skills in making many types of offerings. In Balinese belief, the Tapinis are supervised by Bhatari Durga.Lontar Yadnya Prakerti contains many strict rules regarding procedures for making offerings. The most important thing is the ethics and cleanliness of people who make the offerings. According to this scripture, not any person are allowed to make offerings. Because banten is an offering to God and the demigods, the process of making it must be pure.The materials used to make offerings must be natural and disposable. Banten should not be made of plastic materials, because Hindu people are familiar with the concepts of purity (sukla) and defilement (cemer). Therefore, according to the essence of Lontar Yadnya Prakerti, offerings to God and the demigods must be clean, fresh and pure.There are some basic ethics for a Sarati according to Lontar Yadnya Prakerti. First, a sarati must be clean and pure in body, mind and words. Secondly, Sarati must not forget to give charity to a brahmin (priest). Not only that, a Sarati must ensure that the banten materials are obtained in the right ways. Last but not least, Sarati should not gossip when making offerings.i should not gossip when making offerings.)
Putru Saji Tarpana + ([EN] One of the most interesting ancient t … [EN] One of the most interesting ancient texts in Bali is probably Putru Saji Tarpana. If you have used GPS as a guide, then Putru Saji Tarpana is a collection of directions for the spirits of people who have died. The contents of this text is written in ancient Javanese language, mixed with ordinary Balinese, perhaps made and copied from the fifteenth century, and until now must be read during cremation ceremonies or at Atma Wedana (Ngarorasin) ceremony.The first and last part of the manuscript does not indicate in which year and during the reign of which king the script was made. From the beginning to the end, this text contains clues about the magical places the spirit of the deceased will pass before finally reaching Yamaloka. Yamaloka is the gate of the court of spirit, where every deed will be weighed according to the provisions of the Dharma law.According to this ejection, the spirit of the deceased will encounter many strange things during the journey to Yamaloka. The magical places are in the form of forests on clouds, highways, wells, darkness, strange creatures, to deep rivers and mud. The spirit will also cross a bridge. If his actions during his life are good, all those terrible things will be passed over easily. If his actions are evil for life, the spirit will be trapped in those strange places.In order for the spirit to pass through strange places easily, Putru Saji Tarpana gave directions to the road and supplies that the spirit had to carry. These road directions also contain provisions that must be given by the spirit to the astral creatures he encounters.But this does not mean that only with a large ceremony of death can the spirit be freed from all sins. The death ceremony can only help the spirit journey to reach Yamaloka's court, but it cannot erase his bad deeds during life. Food ingredients and water offered to the spirits of the dead aims to give them a new body in the new nature, but not to wash away their sins.w nature, but not to wash away their sins.)
Babad Brahmana Catur + ([EN] Sometimes many people still consider … [EN] Sometimes many people still consider Babad Brahmana Catur text and Dwijendra Tattwa text are the same, but these lontar texts belong to two different categories. The Babad Brahmana Catur tells about the journey of Dang Hyang Nirartha, a Hindu priest from the late Majapahit era (1489 A.D.). He came to Bali and became an advisor to the Balinese kingdom in Waturenggong era. This chronicle mainly describes about the places that he had visited in Java, Bali, Lombok and Sumbawa, until finally he reached spiritual elevation on the crest of Uluwatu. Not only that, this chronicle also tells the miracles that he had made and various holy places built by him and by some of his descendants.The Babad Brahmana Catur text is an important genealogical source for descendants of the brahmana clan (soroh) in Bali. Copied several times by different authors, this manuscript still survives to the present time in the form of palm-leaf manuscripts and latin transliteration. Fortunately, Indonesian translation is available, too.Broadly speaking, this chronicle gives a glimpse about the situation when Majapahit collapsed—it had a major influence on the development of literacy in Java and Bali. As a Hindu religious leader, Dang Hyang Nirartha had a mission to defend the sacred teachings from extinction. In a unique way, he finally managed to maintain this religious system in Bali with its religious and cultural foundations that can be seen today.ltural foundations that can be seen today.)
Adi Parwa + ([EN] The battle between Pandava and the Ka … [EN] The battle between Pandava and the Kauravas took place some 5,000 years ago in India and was recorded by Rsi Wedawyasa as the Epic of the Mahabharata. There are 100,000 verses in this book which are divided into 18 Parwas (big chapters). Each Parwa has a section called Kanda.Adi Parwa is the first part of the Mahabharata which tells about the ancestral lineage of the Pandavas and Kauravas. It was stated that they were descendants of the Lunar Dynasty. In ancient times, humanity was ruled by the great kings of two dynasties, namely the Sun and the Moon. The two dynasties began from Lord Surya (the sun-god) and Lord Candra (the moon-god), so the quality of the kings of their descendants far exceeded those of ordinary humans.Adi Parwa mainly tells about the creation of the universe in four stages, the appearance of the divine incarnations (avataras) of God in the previous eras, the birth of Pandavas and Kauravas and the birth of Maharsi Krishna Dwaipayana Wyasa who is the incarnation of God and the most respected sage for the Hindus around the world. The most important part of Adi Parwa is the story of the appearance of Sri Krishna, God Almighty, into this mortal world to speak the Bhagavad-gita which is considered one of the most important Vedic scriptures for Hindus.At the time of Dharmawangsa reign in the Panjalu kingdom, Adi Parwa was translated into ancient Javanese together with other parwas by the Javanese poets at that time. Some names of places in Sanskrit are distorted during translations. Because of this massive literacy project in Dharmawangsa era, many names of places in the Mahabharata were used as names of places in Java until now.used as names of places in Java until now.)

Wayan Sila + (“The very first night I slept over at my n … “The very first night I slept over at my new studio an owl flew into the garden. It wasn’t a coincidence that I noticed it perched in a tree,” says Balinese artist Wayan Sila. “This was aspecial experience and powerful omen. A gift from the Gods to me.”The owl is much revered by indigenous cultures and in folklore around the world as aguardian spirit, as well as a wise creature capable of extraordinary sight. Balinesemythology reveals that if an owl visits a family compound while a female member ispregnant this is indeed a positive sign. Burung Hantu literally translates from bahasaIndonesia into the English language as ghost bird; or the owl, the mysterious bird of thenight.“I have a unique connection with owls. It is a potent image that resonates with my heart. Iwas intuitively led to draw the owl and then I began to include it in my works. It has nowmanifested into a personal symbolic image, equivalent to the Barong. The owl alsoencourages me to reflect on the joy that I derive from my family life,” says Wayan.Born in Ubud, 1970, Wayan Silawasinspired by his grandfather, well known local artistWayan Barwa. From an early age he regularly visited Barwa’sstudio and gallery,surrounded by the paintings of his Balinese heritage, this was the perfect scenario for achild to learn to draw and paint.Wayan soon became adept in the “Ubud Style” of modern traditional Balinese painting. Inthe evolution of Balinese painting during the last century, from its origins of the ClassicalKamasan style that concerned teachings from the Hindu Epics, each village then began tocreate their own distinctive style.The Ubud style moved away from the religious and began to be characterized bynarratives that involve daily village life and depictions of rural and environmentallandscapes. The artists from Ubud were quick to adopt western influences in the 1930’s,depth of field, shades of color, localized narratives and the development of the humanfigure. The Kamasan style was originally a collective work and never signed by anindividual. The new personalized and expressive form of Balinese painting has its rootsfirmly entrenched here in Ubud.Wayan’s canvases are beautifully composed and resound with an overwhelming sense ofbalance and harmony. His highly detailed works are first sketched in pencil then outlinedin black Chinese ink, finally they are rendered in acrylic paint with a fine kaus bamboo, asmall piece of bamboo crafted with a tiny point to apply the medium. A large canvas, 100 x80 cms, may take up to six months to complete. “In 1997 I was inspired to include owls in my compositions after seeing a wonderful sketch by a Japanese child.”Wayan’s relationship with the burung hantu then activated an endearing association withthe people of Japan, to whom the owl is symbolic of happiness. He first visited Japan in2002 and his premiere solo exhibition there was in 1998. Every year since then Wayan has enjoyed the privilege of exhibiting work in galleries, department stores, even in theIndonesian Consulate in Tokyo. He has held over 15 solo exhibitions in Japan, andnumerous other exhibitions in Bali, Jakarta, Spain and also at the prestigious Agung RaiMuseum of Art in Ubud.“It’s an honor for me to be invited on intercultural exchange programs teaching youngJapanese students traditional Balinese painting techniques. I do this each year when I visitJapan.” Wayan has since developed a healthy market for his works there and continues toell to the Japanese tourists who often visit his Ubud studio/gallery.Wayan Sila, acrylic on Canvas, 2012,45x 60cm.Wayan SilaGarden + Bale studio of Wayan Sila.Wayan Sila. 2012, chinese ink +acrylic on canvas, 60x80cm.Wayan’s cooperative works with Japanese poet Yoko Jatiasih have been the focus of two books. They initiallycollaborated in 1998 to create music and poetry for his paintings. In 2004 their first book “Kata Kata” Echoes From TheWoods, and then in 2010 “Pelan Pelan” were published.Browsing through these books, the creative synergy between the two is easy to recognize. Yoko’s short poems, no morethan 6 lines, resonate with an uncomplicated intelligence. Upon the opposing page to the text are Wayan’scomplimentary images created especially to accompany each poem.As you contemplate the words essence, as well as study Wayan’s images, the mysterious bird of the nights’full roundeyes are firmly transfixed upon you. The fusion of words along with the images perplex the imagination, and then defyyou to believe their medium is the owl’s silent and alluring gaze.In 2011 Wayan relocated to his new studio gallery in Jalan Bisma in Ubud. Journey 400 meters along Jalan Bisma until theroadside urban development gives way to the effervescence of the padis. Down on the right hand side nestled in thesawah you will find his small abode. Look for the sign on the road then follow the narrow path that divides the greenswaying fields to his studio/gallery encircled by the bamboo fence.Wayan has created a personal space that reflects the elements that enrich and sustain him. Situated in the middle of theyard he has built a bamboo bale which functions as his studio, yet also as a place of quiet retreat. The surroundinggarden is abundant with organic vegetables, fruit trees, medicinal herbs, ornamental shrubs and flowers. Indeed, Wayanhas created his special own oasis.As you enter his two Bali dogs are quick to offer enthusiastic toothy greetings. The verdant vegetation is soothing andinviting. I discover two rabbits, four exotic birds and frogs and snakes frequent visitors, so Wayan tells me. Stonecarvings covered with brilliant green moss hide among the foliage, shrines and small Hindu temples are adorned withofferings and the sweet sent of burning incense seduces the senses. An outhouse serves as a simple kitchen and two rooms contain Wayan’s gallery painting collection and books for sale.When we observe Wayan’s paintings we enter into a beautiful and extraordinarily tranquil world. His owls’ peer outfrom within forests and lush scenes, their big eyes possess a magnetic pull and communicate a language that isdeciphered in our hearts. Wayan Sila is a painter of immense sensitivity and his works are vehicles of healing qualities and love.re vehicles of healing qualities and love.)

I Nyoman Popo Priyatna Danes + (“What the modern architecture is still try … “What the modern architecture is still trying to achieve today has been implemented in the traditional Balinese architecture for centuries now, where the concepts of energy conservation and environmental preservation are amongst the fundamental elements in every design.” – Popo DanesFrom private homes and restaurants to starred hotels and luxury resorts, the renowned Balinese architect Nyoman Popo Danes is known for his exemplary designs that showcase a distinct flair of being in harmony with the local culture and nature. This green-conscientious architect always integrates eco-friendly aspects of Bali’s traditional architecture into his designs.“While some architects are very focused on making their buildings look stunning from the outside, my main concern has always been the functionality of each aspect of the building. I always make sure that my designs are in harmony with their natural surroundings; that each room has a function; that a strong connection between the architecture, landscape, and interior is established. I don’t care if my architecture is not photogenic, as long as it serves its function well.”As an international destination, Bali attracts people from all corners of the world with its uniqueness. Therefore, Popo believes that every building on the island needs to be able to help these people feel that they are in Bali. “When you travel, you want to be immersed in the local atmosphere. In Bali, a building should exude the feeling of locality so when you enter it, you know you’re not in Jakarta, Hong Kong, or anywhere else.”The works of the two-time ASEAN Energy Award winner (in the category of Best Practice in Tropical Architecture) are known as some of the most striking in design, functionality, and environmental consciousness. Air conditioners take up the biggest energy consumption in a building, and Popo’s eco-friendly creations have the ability to ‘communicate’ with nature to lessen energy consumption through the overuse of air conditioners.“I create buildings that have open pavilions (just like in typical Balinese buildings) to allow breeze to blow in, and I don’t put too many glass windows. Then again, air circulation or heat is not the only reason why air conditioners are overused. People also tend to turn their air conditioners on to escape from the noise pollution outside their buildings. When all windows and doors are shut, it’s quiet inside. This is where nature steps in. Towering trees can be a great noise filter, and they also serve as a fresh, cool air provider.”From Indonesia to India and China to the Philippines, most of Popo’s architecture projects involve challenging landscapes. “It’s never easy. A lot of projects i’ve been doing so far (especially for luxury resorts) involve slanted soil, hilly surfaces and everything else not flat. Of course I can always take the easy job; for example in Bali, I get so many offers to design a building on a flat surface. The thing is, in order for me to build it, I have to get rid of a rice field. I will never build anything on a rice field. Rice field is a symbol of prosperity for the Balinese, and is home to the goddess of prosperity, Dewi Sri.”e to the goddess of prosperity, Dewi Sri.”)

This platform is already widely known by people. This platform can also be accessed in 80 countries and this can provide opportunities for me and the community to participate in civic issues. In my opinion, the way to increase community participation in promoting civic issues through the BasaBali Wiki platform is to conduct seminars or outreach to villages so that this platform is widely known by the public. Many parents cannot use technology and also many teenagers today do not want to find out what innovations exist today. By giving seminars or outreach to villages, it is hoped that this platform will be known by many people so that it will have a positive impact on encouraging participation in civic issues.

Among the various problems at hand, some prominent issues that need immediate attention from Bali's future leaders are:Firstly, the environment and sustainability. Bali, with its natural beauty, is under significant pressure due to rapid growth. Conservation of the environment and protection of natural resources are crucial to prevent further damage to the island. Future leaders must have a clear vision to preserve Bali's natural beauty while also managing sustainable growth.Secondly, adequate infrastructure.

Effective leaders should prioritize the development of suitable infrastructure without compromising environmental preservation.Thirdly, social welfare. There exist disparities in Bali that need to be addressed. Improving access to education, focusing on public health, and increasing job opportunities with fair wages should be the primary focus of future leaders. Even social welfare will form a strong foundation for Bali's progress.Fourthly, transparency and accountability in governance. It's essential for leaders to build transparent and accountable governance. The community should have complete trust in their leaders and feel heard in the decision-making process.Fellow citizens, this election isn't just about selecting leaders but about choosing leaders with a clear vision, strong commitment, and the ability to address pressing issues. Let's choose leaders who can lead Bali towards a better future, one that is fair and sustainable for us all.Thank you."r and sustainable for us all. Thank you.")

It is, however, during times of difficulty when good souls shine bright. The silver lining of the pandemic has been witnessing the wholehearted efforts of individuals and organisations who have stepped up to support and help the, often newly, vulnerable communities, even when faced with their own difficulties.From food donations to education programs, the list of goodwill initiatives on the island has been heartwarming to say the least; in reality many would have suffered gravely without such community efforts.One creative initiative changed the dynamic. Made Janur Yasa is a restaurateur, a partner in the unique vegan restaurant Moksa in Ubud. In May 2020, as Bali was in the depths of the pandemic lull, Janur began a program called Plastic for Rice, a barter system that encouraged locals to trade in collected plastic for rice. In an interview with NOW! Bali when the program started, he says that he remembered how villagers used to barter in the early days, rice for sea salt, farm to sea. He said that this gave people spirit, making sure that people don’t get used to receiving without working.Through this plastic for rice system, Janur provided a double solution: cleaning littered plastic in the environment; as well as providing much-needed sustenance to those in need, especially in rural areas.The program started in Banjar Jangkahan and Banjar Penulisan, Batuaji Village, Tabanan, the regency where Janur comes from. It was set up as prototype, a system to be replicated in other villages… and it was.Three months later, Plastic for Rice became Plastic Exchange. In that time, as reported in August 2020, the movement had spread to 44 banjars and 1,345 households.But beyond that it had evolved beyond a simple ‘system’, and became a movement. It was adopted by other charitable organisations as a solution to provide food fairly in rural communities; it became a vehicle for environmental education, to teach the effects of plastic but also the value of waste. It has allowed people to feel empowered, useful, independent. It has seen new leaders being born.Today, Plastic Exchange is found in over 200 villages across Bali, has collected 50.000+ kg of plastic and distributed 55.000+ kg of rice."astic and distributed 55.000+ kg of rice.")

Louis believes that this has a lot to do with the fact that the Indonesian people are proud of their country. When Louis travels through Bali to take pictures for his paintings, the local people enjoy that. Meanwhile, it is not special for them. They live with all that beauty, their rich culture, and traditions every day. They are used to it. When Louis paints Balinese people, he tries to show them how beautiful and rich their culture is, how beautiful they are themselves. For Louis personal[ly], it is important that he, while photographing and painting the people, can make a part of their personality his own.

Bali, which usually doesn't stop bringing in rupiah coffers to support its people's economy, is now deserted.A few months after the COVID-19 pandemic began to subside, there was a lot of buzz in the social media about the hashtag #WorkFromBali. Bali, as the most popular tourist attraction in Indonesia, is slowly starting to rise from the slump of the COVID-19 pandemic.Most Indonesian people consider Bali as an elite tourist destination, because the majority of visitors are foreign tourists. Not infrequently Indonesian people also think that the price of admission to tourism and the price of food at the place to eat is also high (by the standards of foreign tourists).Seeing the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic which is still uncertain, it is better for the Bali government to start moving to carry out "Rebranding Bali" for domestic tourists. Because they are considered the safest and most sustainable, to keep the economy in Bali alive and spinning.There are several ways that the Balinese government can do to invite local and domestic tourists to visit Bali:1. Ensure that Bali is a safe place during the Covid-19 pandemic, by showing that all frontline Bali tourism has been vaccinated and maintaining proper health protocols;2. Invite influencers to advertise Bali. The hashtag #WorkFromBali seems to be very good and powerful to be echoed again;3. Recalculate the highest price specifically for local and domestic tourists, such as the price of tourist entrance tickets, lodging prices, food prices, and so on, by adjusting the socio-economic conditions of the Indonesian people.4. Provide understanding and training for the frontline Bali tourism, to treat local and domestic tourists in the same way as treating foreign tourists.Hopefully Bali's economy will get better.

Before that, let us pray to the presence of Almighty God. Thanks to Him, we can gather here with happiness at the Bali Public Participation Wikithon with orations, which carries the theme, Election 2024: what are the most urgent problems to be addressed by Bali's prospective leaders ? Hopefully events like this can be held frequently to develop a threatening Bali.Happy guests, as we know, Bali is known as the island of a thousand temples with its very beautiful environment, which is often visited by foreign tourists, because Bali is one of the focuses of tourism in Indonesia. This is what drives many foreign tourists to come to Bali. Even though Bali is a tourist destination, this is not the main topic of discussion, but there are problems that have a significant impact on Bali. As we know, this so-called era of destruction, if we talk about the problems in Bali, will cause Bali to collapse. Unfortunately, the problems in Bali have not received treatment that is useful for the island of Bali.Happy guests, if you look at life now it is certainly different from previous life, especially with the problems, the most important problem is related to the environment and land of the island of Bali which has been built up and used as a tourist attraction, this is what will make the island of Bali In terms of land and environment, it will become increasingly narrow, if all the land and environment in Bali is made into a tourist attraction, where will we (humans), animals and others live and live our daily lives? Talking about the land environment that has been converted into a tourist spot, of course there are many daily activities carried out to produce plastic waste for society, this is what will become Bali's next problem. The existence of rubbish in Bali is very sad and gets very little attention, this is what creates big dangers, for example: floods, dengue fever and others. Moreover, as has recently been reported, the rubbish bins or Suwung landfills in Bali are very full and cause fires, giving rise to smoke pollution which causes disease. Are we all willing to live and do activities in dirty places? Of course, many of you are reluctant to live in a dirty place. Happy attendees, if I conclude it is related to the problems in Bali, so that Balinese leaders can provide solutions related to problems: the transfer of land or the environment to become tourist attractions and the rampant waste which has not received special attention from the government. Based on these problems, if we don't work together from now on as the front guard, it is certain that the island of Bali will gradually collapse. The island of Bali, which has been nicknamed a thousand temples, will lose its sanctity. Based on these problems, my hope is that the elected leader of Bali 2024 will be able to find a solution so that the Balinese people can implement the noble values that exist in Bali, namely TRI HITA KARANA, because these problems are related. with the TRI HITA KARANA value, so that Bali can return to the way it was before.Happy guests, that is the speech I can deliver, I hope you all are aware of the current condition of Bali.re aware of the current condition of Bali.)

If there is no road infrastructure or the roads are in disrepair, what else is there to earn a living nowadays? How do I take merchandise abroad? In this millennial era and era of globalization, road infrastructure is very necessary in today's life. Many people today earn a living on the streets, some become Ojols, some become traders and others; Candidates for leadership in 2024 should be able to see the condition of their people in villages and cities, so that they do not create social inequality. So that the roads in villages and cities are the same, so that the materials are good and can last a long time and people can earn a living on smooth roads. And for the 2024 Leader Candidates to be honest about the road and development assistance, so that it doesn't happen that the funds are disbursed but the roads and construction are not completed, let alone non-existent? Don't prospective leaders feel sorry when they see their people earning a living through damaged roads? On a rocking bridge to pass east to west over rivers and seas? there are also those who cannot leave the village because the roads are damaged but in the city the roads are good. However, there are also damaged roads in the city, which makes it difficult for large trucks to pass and causes traffic jams.

Not just ourselves, all of us, both students, teenagers and parents, everyone living on earth, including Bali, which is famous for its natural beauty, should care about the existence of plastic waste. This is a behavior that includes teenagers as the main actors.Remember, the job of teenagers is not only to decorate and take selfies in beautiful places, but no one pays attention to the rubbish in front of them, which causes disasters such as landslides, floods, pollution and others.So that we are not exposed to danger, we should throw rubbish in the trash, we should not throw rubbish in the surrounding environment such as rivers, roads, sewers, etc. Come on, let's not throw rubbish carelessly so that the surrounding environment remains beautiful and sustainable!

Besides that, wayang kulit can also be used as an entertainment show that often tells about issues in society and tells something that is educational. Wayang kulit is one of the Balinese cultures that is thick with stories of educational figures, but nowadays they are fading because they are rarely performed as entertainment.

Apart from Eka Dasa Rudra, Bali will welcome the Maligia Marebu Bumi ceremony which is held once every 1000 years, every last three digits of the Saka year reach 0. However, judging from the current condition of Balinese culture, it is now increasingly dim. Will the Maligia Marebu Bumi ceremony still hold Balinese culture? Because many young people have left Balinese culture, forgetting the Balinese language. Then how. I hope the government can listen to my advice. My suggestion is that the government must infuse Balinese culture to young people, by developing the entertainment industry. Countries like Japan and Korea can maintain their culture because young people watch their own culture. Most young people in Indonesia, especially in Bali watch foreign films and play foreign entertainment with a foreign culture, so that young Balinese have an interest in foreign cultures, and end up having the dream of wanting to live in a foreign country. If the government wants to develop the entertainment industry, then young people will be aware of the culture they have, so they will aspire to develop their own country. In addition to solving internal problems, the entertainment industry is very profitable. With this, Balinese culture will be increasingly recognized by the world and its influence can match Japanese and Korean culture. Then can this be realized? The Entertainment Industry can be anything, such as Movies, Animation, Games, Songs, Etc. Many Balinese HR talents are suitable for this, such as painters who will create 2D graphic designs, City People who are talented with Coding, and Undagi or Sculptors who will create 3D designs. because at this time, it is time for us to modernize our culture so that it can be accepted by our younger generation, even the world by our younger generation, even the world)

There are many things that can help realize this golden Indonesian era, one of the two most influential things is the QUALITY OF YOUTH and GOVERNMENT INTELLIGENCE.The quality of teenagers in Indonesia itself is very low, we can see from the evidence in the field that there are still many teenagers who cannot get the essence of a sentence. This is influenced by the education system which does not provide space for children to express all the ideas they have, the education system in Indonesia still places great emphasis on recitation and monotonous methods, even though there is a solution from the government regarding independent learning methods which are considered to be the solution to this problem, I felt it needed to be developed. Therefore, the government must think one step further to develop the education system in Indonesia, because this is a function of the intelligence of the leaders that we hope for in order to create sharp knives for teenagers.Don't forget the stunting problem experienced by children in Indonesia, this causes many children to grow and develop with very, very minimal brain capacity. Is there a solution from the government?Of course, we have to consider this together, because it is only through children and teenagers that the Indonesian nation can achieve its desire to become a golden Indonesia, which is likely to be just a fantasy.Hopefully, through this media, the government can consider things that are really urgent for it to do, and can lead the Indonesian nation towards a golden Indonesia with the Sharp Knives of Youth.
