Only hours after the shocking attack of twin bombs which ruined Jakarta’s leading hotels, Indonesian youths around the world showed us their great wisdom, on twitter! That very sad day I saw #IndonesiaUnite as one trending topic along with “eternal” issues like Michael Jackson and Harry Potter. I was amazed. I did realize, unlike me, a teen of the eighties, Indonesian tweets are mostly those twenty something internet savvy guys. And yet those posh “anak gaul” guys were among the first to send the best message to fight the terrorist in such a very clever way, way much better than the confusing words from our very own President, (oh, by the way, later, he said it was the press that was “being stupid” for misinterpreting his emotional and shocking speech…ouch!!!)
Not only echoing the spirit of “we are not afraid, Indonesia Unites, and fight terrorism”, they also add some encouraging support to drove back the bomb-affected economy into the right track by sending a call to buy local products and spend our holidays at home. What a spirit of a fighter! I am so proud of you all, guys!
I think my melodramatic Mr President could really learn from those anak gaul of Jakarta how to address this mourning nation, by being wise!
We Are Not Afraid!
