Good afternoon, I would like to express gratitude to God for giving the opportunity to attend this event. I also would like to thank to the audience who served the time and the place for me in this pulpit. Ladies and gentlemen, Indonesia is a huge country and absolutely rich. We have millions of different natural resources from the sea, forest, mining, and many more. Indonesia is predicted to be one of the developed countries which are able to take over the world. In fact, European countries often made the calculation that if the Indonesian people unite and work together to develop this country, Indonesia will become a superpower country like America or Russia. However, why has Indonesia not been able to be a developed country until now? Perhaps, our country does not have the good human resources. However, I feel there is one thing that becomes the core of all the problems. All the problems that we have are absolutely come from corruption. Of course, corruption makes our country become unstable and does not have a solid system. The state’s finances are destroyed, the development is going to be stunted, and ultimately, the people of Indonesia do not get their rights. Indonesian people are very miserable; our country is not going to be well because the uneven development, bad channeled educational subsidy, and the stunted development of public facilities. Several of us may not feel the impact of corruption directly, but our friends who live in the isolated areas feel it so much. They cannot cross the river because there is no bridge; they cannot be an educated people, and they cannot connect to the world because they do not have internet access. In fact, they have the same opportunity to the people in the big city but they haven’t. Then, how to tackle corruption in this nation? How to wipe out the corruption? Ladies and gentlemen, To wipe the corruption out, we need much more patience and work harder. We must tell ourselves to not take something that does not belong to us. Corruption is begun by stealing something small, and evolves into a theft to the large sums of money. Train us to be afraid to take something that does not belong to us, and continue to be grateful for the sustenance that has been given by God. In addition to teach yourself to keep working hard and do not take anything that is not your right, we also have to educate our children to have an independent attitude, honest, and forbid them to take other people's stuff without permission. Ladies and gentlemen, although corruption is a difficult

Ladies and gentlemen,

Indonesia is a huge country and absolutely rich. We havemillions of different natural resources from the sea, forest,mining, and many more. Indonesia is predicted to be one ofthe developed countries which are able to take over theworld. In fact, European countries often made the calculationthat if the Indonesian people unite and work together todevelop this country, Indonesia will become a superpowercountry like America or Russia.However, why has Indonesia not been able to be a developedcountry until now? Perhaps, our country does not have thegood human resources. However, I feel there is one thing thatbecomes the core of all the problems.

problem to overcome, but I believe we can solve it. Indonesiarequires us to unite, promote, and liberate the country fromcorruption.Thank you for your attention and good afternoon.

Arti :Selamat siang,Saya ingin mengucapkan rasa syukur kepada Tuhan karenatelah diberikan kesempatan untuk menghadiri acara ini. Terimakasih kepada para hadirin yang telah menyediakan waktu dantempat kepada saya di mimbar ini.Para hadirin,Indonesia merupakan sebuah negara besar dan begitu kaya.Kita mempunyai jutaan jenis sumber daya alam dari laut,hutan, pertambangan, dan masih banyak lagi. Indonesiadiprediksi akan menjadi salah satu negara maju yang mampumenguasai dunia. Bahkan, negara-negara eropa seringmembuat perhitungan bahwa jika bangsa Indonesia bersatudan bahu membahu untuk memajukan negara ini, makaIndonesia akan menjadi negara adidaya layaknya Amerika atauRusia.Namun, mengapa Indonesia belum mampu menjadi negara majuhingga saat ini? Mungkin negara kita tidak mempunyai sumberdaya manusia yang baik untuk menjadi negara maju. Namun,saya merasa ada satu hal yang merupakan masalah inti darisemua masalah yang ada. Semua masalah yang kita milikiberasal dari korupsi.Korupsi yang dilakukan tentu saja membuat negara kitamenjadi labil dan tidak mempunyai sistem yang solid. Keuangannegara menjadi hancur, pembangunan terhambat, dan padaakhirnya rakyat Indonesia tidak mendapatkan hak merekasebagai warga negara. Rakyat Indonesia sangat sengsarakarena pembangunan yang tidak merata, bantuan pendidikantidak tersalurkan dengan baik, dan fasilitas-fasilitas umumterhambat pembangunannya.Beberapa dari kita mungkin tidak merasakan dampak korupsisecara langsung, namun teman-teman kita yang tinggal ditempat terpencil sangat merasakannya. Mereka tidak bisamenyeberang sungai karena tidak ada jembatan, mereka tidakbisa bersekolah karena tidak mempunyai uang, dan merekatidak bisa berhubungan dengan dunia luar karena tidakmempunyai akses internet. Padahal, mereka mempunyaikesempatan sama dengan masyarakat di kota besar.Kemudian, bagaimana mengatasi korupsi yang ada di bangsaini? Bagaimana menghancurkan korupsi hingga tidak tersisa?Para hadirin,Untuk mengatasi korupsi, kita memerlukan kesabaran dan kerjakeras. Kita harus latih diri kita sendiri untuk tidak mengambilsesuatu yang bukan milik kita. Korupsi diawali dengan mencurisesuatu yang kecil, kemudian berkembang menjadi pencurianuang dalam jumlah besar. Latih diri kita untuk takut mengambilsesuatu yang bukan milik kita dan terus bersyukur terhadap

rezeki yang telah diberikan oleh Tuhan.Selain melatih diri sendiri untuk terus bekerja keras dan tidakmengambil sesuatu yang bukan haknya, kita juga harusmendidik anak-anak kita untuk mempunyai sikap mandiri, jujur,dan melarang mereka untuk mengambil barang orang lain tanpaizin.Para hadirin, meskipun korupsi merupakan masalah yang sulitdiatasi, namun saya yakin kita mampu melakukannya. Indonesiamembutuhkan kita untuk mempersatukan, memajukan, danmembebaskan negara ini dari korupsi.Terima kasih atas perhatiannya dan selamat siang.
