Borderless Nationalism

President of Indonesia, Mr. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, talked about nastionalism after visiting hundreds of Indonesian workers in Musica excursion ship within his attendance to the 11th OIC (Organization of The Islamic Conference) summit in Dakar, Senegal, March 14.

"Nasionalisme orang yang bekerja di luar negeri juga tidak kalah dengan yang bekerja di dalam negeri (nationalism of Indonesian people who work overseas is not less than that one's in homeland)", said Mr. President.

Without any command, hundreds of workers in the ship sang Indonesia Raya, anthem of Indonesia, welcoming their President. They also showed their enthusiasm to be in touch with Mr. President. It's really true that globalization didn't wipe nationalism.
