BANYUASIN - Vice President (Vice President) Ma’ruf Amin reminded that the family is a miniature or smallest unit of society that participates in determining the greatness of a nation. “ Internally the family gave birth to a healthy generation. Externally the family grows a great society and country. This society and nation depend on the family,” said the Vice President in his remarks at the 30th National Family Day Commemoration Peak (Harganas) event of 2023 in Banyuasin, South Sumatra, Antara, Thursday, July 6. The vice president said that the family is a miniature or a picture of the smallest unit from the community. So a good and great family, he continued, will create a good and great society as well. "Because of that, we (the government) hope that the Indonesian family must become a great family, so that our nation becomes a great nation," said Vice President Ma'ruf Amin. At the peak of the commemoration of the 30th National Conference, the Vice President advised all Indonesian families to continue to strengthen their family's role in producing next generation of stunting-free youths, both physically, mentally, and in life. He said great youths grew up from children who were cared for and educated by strong families. “ We remember President Soekarno once said ‘ gave me 10 young men who would surely shake the world ’. I also believe that the younger generation of Indonesia is able to produce works and achievements that shake the world. In the future they will become a generation capable of shaking the world, as said by the first President Soekarno,” said the Vice President. At the event, the Vice President also handed over the award for the Satyalencana Pembangunan Award to the Governor of South Sumatra (Sumsel) Herman Deru, as stated in Presidential Decree Number 43/TK/2023, for his services to the state and society in the field of state development in general, or in the field of development of a certain field in particular. The Vice President also handed over the Satyalencana Wira Karya Honorary Certificate, as Presidential Decree No. 44/TK/2023, to dozens of regional heads and recipient figures, including the Governor of Central Java (Central Java) Ganjar Pranowo and the Governor of South Kalimantan (Kalsel) Sahbirin Noor, as an award for his services in providing large dharma Bhakti to the Indonesian state and nation, so that they can be used as role models for others.
