Klojen (malangkota.go.id) – Honoring the services of the heroes of the independence fighters is a must for all Indonesian people, especially the younger generation as a connecting rod in filling independence. A great nation is a nation that does not forget the services of its heroes.
That was emphasized by the Deputy Mayor of Malang, Ir. H. Sofyan Edi Jarwoko after attending a sacred meditation to commemorate 76 years of the Indonesian People's Student Army (TRIP) battle on Jalan Pahlawan TRIP, Malang City, Sunday night (30/7/2023).
According to him, when fighting to seize and achieve independence, the heroes were willing to sacrifice their souls and bodies. For the sake of flying the Red and White in the sky, they had to risk their lives on the battlefield. "So respecting the services of the heroes is a must, namely by filling this independence with positive things," added the man who is familiarly called Bung Edi.
"The death of the TRIPs is one proof of the struggle of young people, especially in Malang. This shows the spirit that continues to burn to contribute to the country in achieving the word independence. This fighting spirit must continue to be maintained and inherited by today's young people," he said.
Bung Edi added, from this, as a connector and filler of independence, the current generation must be skilled, moral, characterful and competitive. "Currently, the progress of information technology is extraordinary and almost unstoppable. If we do not follow, we will be eroded by the progress of the times," he concluded. (say/yon)
