What a pleasant surprise, last night I got a SMS from President Republic of Indonesia. It’s kind of strange, but it also made me proud. The message is one of the Indonesian anti drugs campaign.

Indonesia has had some problem of abusive drug usage in the past and the problem still runs until today. Thousands of young people have wasted their entire lives because drug abuse and usage in Indonesia. Most of them are victims of bad environment, broken family, curiosity or ignorance. The estimated illicit drug user has reached around 4 million, average of 1 person out of 50 Indonesian. In Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia is it estimated that 3 out of 10 young men are drug users.

In the SMS, the president reminds us not to use drug and avoid it as soon as possible. It is a positive statement to encourage all of us in Indonesia.

Narkoba menghancurkan masa depan generasi muda. Berhenti menggunakan narkoba sekarang juga. Jangan biarkan masa depan kalian gelap dan tanpa harapan.

To freely translate the president’s SMS:

Drug ruins young generation’s future. Stop using drug right now. Don’t let your future be dark and without hopes.

I do hope that this message deliver a strong and positive sign to all young Indonesian. And I also appreciate the president for such a move. To the young people, he reminded that they must not try to use any illicit drugs whatsoever, because once they try, they will be trapped and later become addicted, and the addiction will finally turn them into criminals or take their lives.

Perhaps there will be also a future support for creative young Indonesian that is participating in other great events such as the Asian Beach Games, Kuta karnival or the Busby SEO Test challenge. Or maybe support the blogger events such as the Pesta Blogger? We will see. :)

    Does SMSes like this really work? There’s no information on how to get help, and the message is in full caps. Sounds more like a warning. Sounds to me like they’re just sending out the message that “big brother is watching”. But then again I’m all for conspiracy theories. ^_^

    @Myron Tay -> Yes, personally I also think that the method needs to be more persuasive. But any small effort is a good step.
