Being standalone country today is one important thing to do. We can see now the sickness of global economic situation that haunted those developed and developing countries includes Indonesia itself. In this case, Indonesia must taking their economics policy wisely if don't wanted to be deeply drowned by this situation. As a free country moreover own a lot of natural resources, the government must able to take control, manage, and process every single of natural resources to comply national needs in order to prospering their people. As our mandate of fundamental statute said in the article number 33, that "earth, water and the natural riches contained therein controlled by the state and used for the prosperity of the people". Proving that in fact we were destined to live independent and prosperous. Unfortunately now we are still cannot take control of our national resources fully, and prefer to importing national needs from overseas instead.
We cannot always rely on other countries to fulfill our national needs. But it doesn't mean we must keeping away from the global world, because it's against our free-active foreign policy. We can still sign agreements with other countries such as financial investment, grants, or something like that, but the government should distribute it to build places that could improve people skills especially in the field of energy, agriculture, and education. If the government seriously wants to concern to improve people skills, it may increasing possibilities of people to become an entrepreneur also government tax receipt, as a result the decreasing amount of unemployed that could be the beginning of standalone country.
We can only hopes the government will to making progress to this country or vice versa. We know that the biggest political disease plagues in Indonesia are corruption and conspiracy, even the President of this country cannot spared by it's controversy, so clear that is our collective problems to be solved. Being standalone doesn't mean live individually, we also must keep the integration between us by fight against every kind of threats that trying to destroy our integration. Finally, like all great things, everything above cannot be achieved instantly. The government should be patient to doing every necessary effort sequentially so that we can gain the prosperity which was destined to our country.
