The Use of Formalin and Other Additives in Foods
 
The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food
has been serious problem for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for
human beings, but it is for biological specimens and experiments.
Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is
usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens.
Thus, it is not for food preservatives. Of course when it is used for food
preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.

The second reason is that there is no tight control from the


government. This condition makes the people’s health is really in a
threat. When the control is weak and the use formalin was spread wide
all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened,
the citizen's bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or
food traders still sell their products which contain formalin and
dangerous preservatives. Can you imagine that our digestive system

The Youth Pledge 

On 28 October 1928 in Jakarta, youths from across Indonesia held the


Indonesian Youth Congress. This congress marked the official meeting
to urge the independence of Indonesia.
During this congress, the song “Indonesia Raya” was first
introduced by Wage Rudolf Supratman, a young reporter and musician.
Supratman performed the “Indonesia Raya” on the violin. The lyric of the
song was able to awake the spirit of unity among the Indonesian youth
of the archipelago. The song marked the birth of the all-
archipelago nationalist movement in Indonesia and supported the idea
of one single "Indonesia".
On this occasion, a declaration known as The Youth Pledge
was made and declared by young Indonesia Nationalists. They declared
the ideas of one motherland- Indonesia, one nation- Indonesians and
one language- Indonesian language. Since the proclamation of
independence of the Republic of Indonesia on the17 August
1945 "Indonesia Raya" becomes the national anthem of Indonesia
