Commemorating Gus Dur, Laura's Love: A Figure That Is Difficult To Describe With A Few Words
JAKARTA - Cinta Laura gave a statement regarding the figure of Abdurrahman Wahid or Gus Dur through a video that was played at Gus Dur's 12th Haul event at the Ciganjur Islamic Boarding School, South Jakarta. Cinta claimed to be amazed by Gus Dur.
"Mr. Abdurrahman Wahid or Gus Dur is a figure that is difficult to describe in a few words. I think for millennials, he is a person who truly embodies the value of tolerance that must be maintained," said Cinta quoted from YouTube channel TV9, Friday, December 31 .
"I really admire his courage to voice frontally the reality of the problems facing this nation," continued Cinta.
According to Cinta, people often see a leader who turns a blind eye to maintain popularity. Gus Dur is not included in it, and can be an example.
"Often we see leaders who cover their views in order to maintain popularity among the people. But I believe a true leader must be honest, believe in his stance, and dare to face the consequences for the future and the good of the country," he added.
For millennials, the fourth President of Indonesia is a figure who truly embodies the value of tolerance. He hopes that in the future there will be more future leaders who dare to have opinions and fight customs in order to defend the values of Pancasila.
"I hope there will be more future leaders who dare to defend the values of Pancasila. Thank you Gus Dur for all the knowledge and knowledge given to us all," concluded Cinta Laura.
