History today, eight years ago, April 7, 2018, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) asked the people not to be pessimistic about Indonesia's dissolution in 2030. He revealed that Indonesia will become a great country, even though the tests that the Indonesian nation will go through will not be easy.
Previously, the prediction that Indonesia would break up in 2030 was triggered by Prabowo Subianto. Jokowi's political opponent considers the government to have failed to manage the country. People's access to welfare is minimal. Not to mention the problem of corrupt officials who are rampant.
Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) presence in the Indonesian political map is brilliant. He was able to become the Mayor to the Governor of DKI Jakarta. The uniqueness of Jokowi's political career is getting higher. His popularity has increased sharply because he is considered close to the people and simple.
Jokowi was then able to become President of Indonesia since 2014. Jokowi's leadership went well. However, not a few of Jokowi's policies were considered bad. Sometimes Jokowi also often shows off political gimmicks.
A series of problems attracted the attention of Jokowi's political opponent, Prabowo. Prabowo considers Jokowi's leadership far from being successful. Claims of success in improving people's living standards are considered not to have happened much.
Prabowo observed for himself that what was seen was the opposite. People's access to minimal welfare. Many Indonesians are miserable. This condition is because land ownership in Indonesia is controlled by a majority of certain groups.
Prabowo also said that many of those who helped Jokowi were corrupt officials. Not to mention that much of Indonesia's natural wealth is actually taken abroad. Prabowo revealed that Indonesia will break up in 2030.
Prabowo based his prediction on global security issues researcher PW Singer and August Cole who wrote about Indonesia's thoughts on breaking up through the novel Ghost Fleet: A Novel of the Next World War (2015). Prabowo's prediction then went viral everywhere.
"Bung! They predict that we will dissolve, our elite feels that 80 percent of the land in the whole country is controlled by 1 percent of our people, nggakapa-apa. That almost all assets are controlled by 1 percent, nggakapa-apa."
"That most of our wealth is taken abroad does not stay in Indonesia, it's okay. This is what destroys our nation, brothers and sisters! The smarter, the higher the position, the more dishonest! The more lazy! The more thief! It's not nice to talk, but there's no time for us to pretend anymore," said Prabowo as the video was uploaded by the Gerindra Party account on its Facebook page, March 19, 2018.
Jokowi did not immediately silence Prabowo's criticism. Jokowi immediately spoke up and dismissed the prediction that Indonesia would disband in 2030. Jokowi also invited all Indonesians not to be pessimistic that Indonesia would disband in 2030 on April 7, 2018.
Jokowi revealed that the important capital to build Indonesia into a great country is optimism. He asked the next generation of the nation to be optimistic in building, even though it is not easy and there are many challenges.
"It's impossible to be a big country, a strong country, right away, there's no formula. We have to be tested, we have to be tough, we have to work hard, we have to try. Don't even talk about pessimism 2030 dissolved. "
"The leader must give optimism to his people! The leader must give enthusiasm to his people! Even though the challenges are heavy, even though the challenges are not easy," said Jokowi in front of Jokowi's Galang Kemajuan volunteers in Bogor as quoted by the Kumparan page, April 7, 2018.
