JAKARTA - Chairperson of the Steering Committee of the Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) Megawati Soekarnoputri asked TVRI and BRIN to continue to strive to provide the best for the Indonesian nation in the midst of a limited budget narrowing. "It seems that without money, without funds, it seems that research cannot be done. Try, yes, think the founders of our nation. I like to think like this, right, because of enthusiasm, where did the money come from? But how come (they can bring Indonesia) can be independent," Megawati said at the signing of BRIN and TVRI at the TVRI Building in Central Jakarta, Monday, June 12, was confiscated by Antara.

Megawati hopes that TVRI and BRIN will be able to provide educational work and educate the nation's children. For this reason, the woman who serves as the General Chair of the PDIP Perjuangan (PDIP) does not want both to think only about the budget for production.

The 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia conveyed that Indonesian troops during the colonial period were famous as pointed bamboo troops. Megawati stated that with this limitation, she could still defeat the invaders.

"Try to think. We are doing well at this time, you know, but don't let it, I always say, don't be trapped in a comfort zone," said Megawati.

The daughter of the Proclaimer of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno asked BRIN and TVRI to carry out their duties without seeing any shortcomings. Megawati assessed that many problems must be resolved by the state, such as stunting and children's education so that they can go to school.

Megawati said TVRI and BRIN must think about these problems. If not, he continued, then it could be called a traitor to the nation.

"It means that you as Indonesians betray your own country. Why? The law is clear, how come," he added.

Megawati revealed that Indonesia has a spirit of mutual cooperation. Not only that, she asked TVRI to give empathy to people who have not got their rights.

"That's their right. The rights are the people, you know. You won't be here if no one watches TV. Where do you want to play 24 hours no one is watching. Think if my words are wrong. My words always contain the truth for the nation and state, not individuals," said Megawati.

In this MoU event, the President Director of LPP TVRI Iman Brotoseno, Head of BRIN Tri Handoko, former Minister of Environment Emil Salim and member of Commission I of the DPR Utut Adianto were present.
