“We need young people who are patriotic, persistent, and empathetic. Young people who love their country through concrete actions, who remain standing when storms come,” he continued.

The address also included a message from the President of the Republic of Indonesia, who has always been an inspiration to the younger generation.

“As the President has always stated and exemplified: Don’t be afraid to dream big. Don’t be afraid to fail. You are not mere appendages to history. You are the ones who determine the next chapter of history,” said Kombes Pol Sri Satyatama.

The ceremony then concluded with the spirit of “Youth Greetings,” which echoed throughout the field. Kombes Pol Sri Satyatama also encouraged all participants to maintain the fighting spirit of their predecessors by making real contributions to society.

“Let us keep the flame of this struggle burning. Let us prove that the Indonesian nation is a great nation, a strong nation, just, prosperous, and respected worldwide,” he exclaimed at the end of his address.

The ceremony was attended by senior officials, personnel from the Polda Metro Jaya, and representatives of the Polri civil servants. This ceremony also served as a moment for collective reflection on the role of the younger generation in maintaining national unity and realizing the ideals of independence. (Bembo)
