We may (or may not) have awakened, but we're certainly not enlightened. FERRI LIMPUTRA

I don't need a passport when I take a five-hour flight east or a three-hour flight west. That's what makes me proud of Indonesia. But I am embarrassed by the notorious lawmakers at Senayan. KENONG KERTAWANGON

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of National Awakening Day, we have to remember the youth pledge to create a free, united and prosperous Indonesia.

Freedom and unity have been achieved but prosperity is still far from our reach. Therefore the government, together with all layers of communities, must work hard to realize that objective. ABDUL RAHIM
Tangerang, Banten

I'm proud of Indonesia. We are No. 1 in corruption. Let's maintain that record and be the most sinful country in the world, and be crowned by the devil. JASON

To keep our positive thinking, we have to believe Indonesia will get into better condition soon. Well,changed a lot, right? By the way, I haven't decided whether to be proud or be embarrassed. LUCY

I've never been proud of Indonesia because from what I've known so far on TV or in the newspapers, there's always something to hate about it -starvation is everywhere and little children beg on the streets to survive. But we never know what could happen next. God may give us a miracle someday to free us from this bad situation. ILHAM

We commemorate the formation of the first spiritual national organization in Indonesialong before Indonesia declared independence.

We have to maintain the spirit of Indonesia: Help each other (gotong royong) and Pancasila ideology. It will help Indonesia. JOKO SUKISNO
Bogor, West Java
