ADA produced a masterpiece of the sons of Indonesia. A successful car designed and made by children Vocational School (SMK) in Solo. Cars vocational work of the children were handed over to the Mayor of Solo Joko Widodo Monday and later became the official car of Mayor and Deputy Mayor Hadi Rudyatmo.
The events that occurred in the early 2012's give worthy of special note, because it is a tremendous leap. A car can be produced not by the manufacturer or college, but by the children of secondary vocational schools.
Car work of the children of Indonesia would need to be tested. At least tested the level of security when they wanted to wear as everyday vehicles, like most cars are mass produced.
But as far as we can know from the Mayor of Solo, car vocational work of the children are quite comfortable. Suspension is soft and not different from the existing vehicle. The price is relatively inexpensive when produced at around Rp 95 million.
The important thing we must note, people are proven to make a big leap. Indonesia's sons were able to create works that are not lost to other nations. If we are able to make cars, we are also able to make another high-tech products.
Many vehicles are sold using the brand of the world is actually a work of the sons of Indonesia. Take for example the Toyota Kijang by Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan and then sold as the Toyota Innova. Type of car it was originally purely a work of the sons of Indonesia which was later adopted into a mass product of Toyota.
If only the work of children's Solo SMK was supported by the government, then this will be the first mass car that actually made in Indonesia. Moreover, the Ministry of Industry has set policies to develop cars that can be more affordable by the community.
Children made cars Solo SMK should be adopted as an embryo of the cars made in Indonesia. Because, by making it as a mass product, the manufacturing cost can certainly be more efficient.
The experience of many countries shows that a nation's progress will be achieved if the nation itself would support it. Especially the leaders of the nation was in front to campaign for the greatness of the work of the nation.
See the South Korea. Hyundai, for example, began building automotive industry with General Motors in cooperation, the United States. If now they could become the fourth largest automotive manufacturer in the world, it's because of the support and leader of the Korean people to want to use your own people.
The same is done by the people of India. Country have luxury cars that are used to pick up their state guests. But the Prime Minister of India itself remains proud to use his own people made Ambassador car.
Solo vocational child-made cars will definitely be a car icon Indonesia if it is not only driven by the Mayor of Solo. This nation will slowly build up the pride of the country where the car was later used also by the President and the ministers in the cabinet.
If indeed we earnestly want to build a great nation, CMS Solo children were invited to the palace proper. Ask them to show his great work in front of the President and then President tried it in front of the palace.
Many things can be used to build momentum revival of this nation. The resulting work of SMK Solo children can be one of them. Moreover, if the appreciation is followed by real action.
It also can be brushed off the negative things that a lot happening around us. We should encourage the positive things in society that we are not only soluble in violence that only makes our hearts broken.
If we want to be a resurgence in 2012 as the year of this nation, let's do it together. We start from small things that can appreciate all the work produced by the children of this nation.
