JAKARTA - The Chairperson of the PDI-P, Megawati Soekarnoputri, again made a statement regarding millennial groups in Indonesia.
Megawati understands that many millennials have achieved success, but this is considered to have happened because millennials being entrepreneurs are not successful in helping society. Because of that Megawati again asked the millennial group for their devotion to Indonesia.
"Millennials are devoted to the country, you know? Not individually, you know. I know a lot of young people are successful, but they are entrepreneurs. Now, I mean, how much do you help the people?" Megawati said in the PDIP Culture National Coordination Meeting which was held online, Saturday, October 31.
He also explained that his statement some time ago criticizing the role of millennials was as a form of his concern for Indonesia's future.
Megawati feels that young people or the millennial generation must be trained so that they have a fighting spirit for the nation and state.
The 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia also admitted that he was surprised why his statement some time ago became a scene in the community and even became a topic in the talkshow.
"Saying that millennials shouldn't be spoiled until the talk show, I thought 'I'm cool'. That should be that the Indonesian people are trained to have a fighting spirit. Know where to go to advance this nation," he said.
Mega again emphasized that these young people do not become a spoiled group. This message, he also specifically conveyed to his cadres, especially young cadres.
Because, as general chairman, he was not satisfied with this young cadre. There were a number of things he touched on, such as cadres who were not serious about the Indonesia Raya song, silence, and raising the red and white flag. Even though it is a state protocol.
Because of that, Megawati wanted to have cadres who had fighting spirit. "That's why I said not to indulge millennials. What can you do for this country," he said.
"For me, millennials were born in the 1980s. Yes, there are many of you. Don't just go on your side. You have to do something. Don't be in this party if you don't (do, ed)," he added.
His wish is that young cadres have fighting spirit, because many people have sympathy for PDIP. This is evident from the results of the survey which remains the highest and this shows that the people have hope for PDIP for future progress.
"What if I get stuck? Yes, I am angry. Just let it be, that's where I want to bully. I am satisfied with being talked about by the PKI, I am the PKI, yeah, I am the leader of the legitimate party in this republic, how come the PKI. Whatever," he concluded.
