Ustadzah Hilmia, in her speech, stated that for 79 years, Indonesian people have been indebted to the heroes, since then we have to remember their struggles. It is necessary to internalise what independence itself means.

"Remembering these national heroes needs to be followed by internalisation within oneself. One of them is releasing self confinement, pesimism," explained Ustadzah Hilmia.

There are two inner confinements that have to be released by a student. The first is mental blockage of being afraid of achieving, seen as ambitious and creating new good things. These fears need to be eliminated therefore new courage emerges.
