He has led the people of Maluku to fight the Dutch or VOC through the Pattimura War in 1817. At that moment, the people of Maluku were producing cloves and nutmeg for the world market but were not getting any economic gain. The people suffered further due to various policies, such as the compulsory tribute tax. He had led troops in a battle against the Dutch in Saparua, where they managed to capture Fort Duurstede. However, after a fierce battle, Pattimura was finally captured and executed by the Dutch on December 16, 1817. Despite his defeat, Pattimura has remained of great significance to the people of Maluku, inspiring them to this day. He has fought hard to resist the Dutch, and his legacy continues to influence the struggle for justice.

I am thrilled to share that I have nominated Dewi Sartika for the honor of Local Hero. She has been the driving force behind the "Sekolah Istri", which has been standing since its inauguration on 16th January 1904 in Bandung. This pioneering institution has been the first of its kind, dedicated to providing basic education to native women.

Dewi Sartika has not stopped at this achievement. She has been expanding her educational endeavors to other regions, a mission that is still ongoing. Her tireless efforts have already earned her the title of Hero of the Women's Movement by the Dutch East Indies government in 1939. Her ongoing commitment to the cause of women's education makes her an exemplary candidate for this recognition.

I am writing to nominate Pandawara Group as a Local Hero. This group was founded in 2022. The members of this group are Agung Permana, Gilang Rahma, Muhammad Ikhsan, Rafla Pasya, and

Rifki Sa'dulah. They give excellent example of the rising generation such as myself. They dedicate their time to clean rivers and beaches in various places from garbage and waste. They also organize local people to clean the area. These was the various places they has been cleaned. Teluk Beach in Teluk village, Labuan, Pandeglang, Banten: In 2023, They and the local peoples collected 1.200 gunny sacks. Sukaraja Beach, Bandar Lampung. In 2023 Pandawara Group collected 300 tons of garbage. Kasanden Beach, Cirebon and many other places. Therefore they deserved to be nominated as a local hero in my opinion

Sosroningrat, Her father, was a Javanese aristocrat working for the Dutch colonial government. At the age of 6, this afforded Kartini the opportunity to go to a Dutch school.

The school opened Kartini’s eyes to Western ideals. During this time, she also took sewing lessons from Mrs. Marie Ovink-Soer, another regent’s wife.

Ovink-Soer began to impart her feminist views to her, and therefore instrumental in planting the seed for Kartini’s later.

When she reached adolescence, Javanese tradition dictated that Kartini leave her Dutch school for the sheltered existence deemed appropriate to a young female noble.

Struggling to adapt, she wrote letters to Ovink-Soer and her many Dutch schoolmates, she wrote about protesting gender inequality of Javanese traditions such as forced marriages at a young age.

In Kartini’s eagerness to escape her isolation about her fidgetiness, Kartini had to accept a marriage proposal arranged by her father.

She wed the regent of Rembang, Raden Adipati Joyodiningrat on November 8, 1903. She had recently been offered a scholarship to study abroad, and the marriage dashed her hopes of accepting its scholarship.

According to Javanese tradition, at 24 Kartini was too old to expect to marry well. Intent on spreading her feminist message.

With Kartini new husband’s approval, Kartini set about her planning to start own school for girls of Javanese In 1903.

with love, Lin.

She is a very talented artist/singer who creates such wonderful songs. Aside from being an artist, she has helped and donated to people in need. She has been spreading awareness about Palestine, How messy Indonesia is right now, and a lot more. She has inspired so many people, including me.

Sincerely,

Mika.

He met with various officials and influential people, including J.H. Abendanon, in charge of implementing the Dutch Ethical Policy.

After her death, her sister continued her advocacy for the education of girls and women. Kartini's letters were published in a Dutch magazine and finally, in 1911, they became the works: After Darkness Comes Light, Life of Women in the Village, and Letters from a Javanese Princess. Her birthday is now celebrated in Indonesia as Kartini Day in her honor, with several schools named after her and a foundation established in her name to finance the education of Indonesian girls.

I am pleased to nominate Mister Rusdy Thamrin as a local hero, my personal hero. He is the best teacher I could ever ask for, even if I may be studying in a different school. He's kind, open-minded, strict when needed to be, and very deserving of this title. It may seem like he's just an ordinary teacher to most, but to the people he has taught, it's a completely different story. He was caring enough to look out for students when they were sick if parents were too busy to, he was nice enough to let students slack off for a day because he understands the stress of students holding up their academics. Not to mention, his English was exceptional. Instead of making my English worse, he seemed to have made it even better than I originally envisioned. He was, and always will be one of the reasons I continue to do my best in English. All this work, is so that one day, I can please him with the writing skills he taught me. Show him how much he's changed someone's life by just being there for them.

Below are some words from his former students:

• "Mr Rusdy is really biased towards what he likes and dislikes, but I know that's only because he cares for us students. I like that in a teacher, even if it may be a little annoying."

• "He was my homeroom teacher, and he made everyone's day by just talking. He was like a father to me. I really do miss him."

• "Mr Rusdy is the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time), he cared for me when I was sick, and even let me draw in class! And you know what's cool? I still got a 100 on my tests even if he let the class slack off. Now that's a good teacher."

I, too, may be biased on what I like in a teacher, considering I treated him like a father figure. But there's no denying he made a lot of students like English more than they already did. He's the one who put that wood in that already burning passion. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Sincerely, Fish, your former student.

Key Points about Suharto:

Military Career: Suharto began his military career in the Dutch colonial army and later joined a Japanese-sponsored home defense corps during World War II. After Indonesia’s independence, he rose through the ranks of the Indonesian army, eventually becoming a major general.

Rise to Power: Suharto came to power following a failed coup attempt in 1965, which led to a violent anti-communist purge. He was appointed acting president in 1967 and officially became president in 19681.

Presidency: His rule brought political stability and economic growth to Indonesia, but it was also marked by authoritarianism, human rights abuses, and widespread corruption. Suharto’s regime was known for its brutal suppression of dissent and control over the media.

Downfall: Suharto’s presidency ended in 1998 amid a severe economic crisis and mass protests demanding his resignation. His departure marked the beginning of Indonesia’s transition to democracy.

Legacy: Suharto’s legacy is controversial. While some credit him with modernizing Indonesia and maintaining stability, others criticize his regime for its corruption and human rights violations

To the Selection Committee,

I am writing to nominate Mr. Muhammad Arifin, founder of the Yayasan Rumah Kreatif dan Pintar, for the Local Hero Award. His efforts have transformed the lives of thousands of individuals in Kalimantan Selatan, especially those who have faced significant challenges in pursuing education and employment.

Muhammad Arifin has established the foundation in response to the growing number of children and young adults in his community who lacked the financial means to attend school.

The foundation has not only offered a place for creative workshops, but it has also given its participants the opportunity to create and sell handmade crafts, enabling them to earn an income.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Muhammad Arifin’s work is his focus on empowering individuals with special needs and those recovering from drug addiction. Under his guidance, the foundation has successfully trained over 2,300 individuals, providing them with a new path in life. He employs these individuals professionally, ensuring they receive fair wages, and he even compensates students for their learning process, recognizing the potential value of their creations.

i am honored to nominate Teuku Umar.

During the colonial era, Teuku Umar was one of Indonesia's masters of deception. He was born in Aceh in 1854 and participated in the Battle of Aceh at the age of 19, though his army was forced to withdraw in 1878.

After pretending to accept the Dutch offer of a peace treaty and marrying Cut Nyak Dhien in 1880, Teuku Umar acquired enough weaponry from the Dutch by claiming that he needed more to complete a mission. He then distributed the weapons to his own forces in Aceh and engaged in combat with the Netherlands once more.

Teuku Umar successfully tricked the opposition more than once; before being shot by the Dutch in 1899, he did so again in 1896.

I want to nominate Kusuma from the Walking STORIES youtube channel. He has been making videos since 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. He has raised awareness by walking through alleys and streets that not many people know except the locals living there. He only has around 6k subscribers as for 2024 but he has uploaded 700 videos. These informational videos can accompany people while they walk at home or just to entertain.

Sincerely,

I am writing to nominate Sultan Hasanuddin, the 16th Sultan of Gowa, for his outstanding contributions to the history of Indonesia and his lasting impact on the nation's heritage.

Sultan Hasanuddin has been recognized as one of Indonesia's greatest national heroes. He has led the Kingdom of Gowa in South Sulawesi with great skill and bravery, particularly in resisting colonial powers, most notably the Dutch East India Company. Throughout his reign, Sultan Hasanuddin has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to defending his people and their sovereignty. His leadership during the Makassar War in the 1660s has been crucial in shaping the resistance against European colonialism in the archipelago.

Sultan Hasanuddin has been remembered for his strategic brilliance and for forging alliances with neighboring kingdoms to strengthen his position. He has not only been a military leader but also an influential statesman who has inspired generations of Indonesians. His courage and leadership continue to be celebrated in the region, and he has been commemorated in various monuments and cultural programs throughout Indonesia.

Although Sultan Hasanuddin has passed, his legacy has not ended. His contributions to the history of Indonesia remain an essential part of the nation's identity, and his story is being taught in schools across the country to inspire future leaders. His leadership and courage are still celebrated today, and his example continues to shape the values of unity and resistance against oppression.

For these reasons, I believe Sultan Hasanuddin truly deserves this nomination. His impact on Indonesia's history is immeasurable, and his legacy remains an essential part of our national pride.

Thank you for considering this nomination.

I am writing to nominate Jenderal Sudirman for his exceptional leadership, remarkable achievements, and unparalleled sacrifices made in the struggle for Indonesia's independence. As one of the most revered national heroes, his contribution to the establishment of our beloved nation deserves to be recognized and honored.

Jenderal Sudirman is a symbol of courage, resilience, and dedication. His military leadership during the Indonesian National Revolution, especially in the face of overwhelming adversity, stands as a testament to his commitment to our country’s sovereignty. He played a pivotal role in organizing and leading the Indonesian Army during a time when Indonesia was in the throes of colonial oppression and war for independence. Despite facing serious health challenges, Sudirman never wavered in his resolve to fight for the freedom and dignity of the Indonesian people.

His leadership extended beyond the battlefield. Sudirman was a master strategist and an inspirational figure to those who followed him. His unwavering commitment to Indonesia's independence and his insistence on prioritizing the welfare of the people earned him the respect of both his soldiers and the civilian population. He understood that the struggle for freedom was not just about military victories but also about the hearts and minds of the people.

Jenderal Sudirman’s decision to continue leading the Indonesian forces despite being seriously ill with tuberculosis serves as a powerful symbol of his extraordinary dedication. His selflessness, humility, and devotion to the cause were evident in his actions throughout the war, and even after he passed away at the young age of 34, his legacy continues to inspire us all.

For these reasons, I wholeheartedly give him my greatest gratitude

His exceptional leadership, vision, and tireless efforts in securing the independence and sovereignty of Indonesia have made an indelible mark on the country and the world. I believe his legacy is deserving of such recognition for the profound impact he has had on the nation and on global geopolitics.

Ir. Soekarno's contribution to the independence of Indonesia is immeasurable. As the architect of the Indonesian independence movement, he was instrumental in rallying the people of Indonesia against colonial oppression. His leadership during the Proclamation of Independence on August 17, 1945, marked a historic moment, and his unwavering commitment to achieving a free and sovereign Indonesia inspired generations of Indonesians.

I am writing to formally nominate General Soedirman as a Local Hero. While he is widely recognized for his significant contributions to Indonesia's independence struggle, I believe his lesser-known initiatives, particularly his establishment of the "Anti-Hunger Cooperative" (Koperasi Anti-Kelaparan) in Cilacap, warrant special recognition.

During the early years of Japanese occupation, when schools were closed and people faced severe food shortages, General Soedirman, inspired by his parents' struggles, co-founded a trading cooperative called Perbi. Drawing on his father-in-law's experience as a batik trader, Soedirman and his colleagues aimed to provide affordable basic necessities to the community.

Perbi's success inspired the formation of numerous similar cooperatives in Cilacap. However, when some of these cooperatives began prioritizing profit over people, General Soedirman united them under the banner of Persatuan Koperasi Indonesia Wijayakusuma. This consolidation ensured that the cooperatives remained focused on their primary goal of alleviating poverty and hunger.

Furthermore, General Soedirman actively involved himself in the People's Food Management Body (BPMR), an independent organization established to collect and distribute food supplies. The BPMR played a crucial role in preventing widespread famine in Cilacap.

General Soedirman's unwavering commitment to the welfare of his fellow citizens, as demonstrated by his establishment and support of these cooperatives, is truly commendable. His actions exemplify the qualities of a true leader and humanitarian.

I firmly believe that General Soedirman's contributions to his community during this challenging period make him a worthy candidate for the title of Local Hero.

Thank you for considering my nomination.

Sincerely,

Hana anggraini

I am honored to nominate Pak Joko Widodo as a local hero. He has done an amazing job during his tenure as President of Indonesia. His love and hard work for all Indonesians have truly come from his heart. Since 2014, he has worked tirelessly and has brought significant changes to Indonesia. Sometimes. I wonder why so many people have judged and bullied him. It makes me feel angry because I cannot understand how anyone could treat someone who has contributed so much to Indonesia in such a way. Despite all this, he has always smiled in front of the camera, showing his kindness and resilience. Now that he is no longer the president, I hope God continues to bless him.

I am writing to express my deep admiration for your incredible work and to personally nominate you as a local hero. Your dedication to protecting Indonesia’s oceans and empowering local fishermen has made a lasting impact, and I truly believe you deserve recognition for your outstanding contributions.

Your leadership as Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries has transformed the way Indonesia protects its marine resources. By enforcing strict policies against illegal fishing, you have helped restore fish populations and improve the lives of countless coastal communities. Your bravery and determination in standing up for our oceans have inspired so many people, including myself.

Even after your time in office, you have continued to be a strong advocate for marine conservation. Through your initiatives, you have educated people about the importance of sustainability and have encouraged younger generations to care for our environment. Your passion and commitment have shown us all what true leadership looks like.

Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for Indonesia. You are truly a hero, and I hope that more people recognize and appreciate the incredible work you have accomplished.

With great respect and admiration,

I am honored to nominate Tan Malaka for recognition as one of Indonesia’s greatest revolutionaries and thinkers. His unwavering dedication to the country’s independence and his visionary ideas have left a profound impact on the nation’s history and continue to shape its intellectual and political discourse.

Tan Malaka has been a key figure in Indonesia’s fight against colonial rule, advocating for independence at a time when few dared to do so. Through his writings and activism, he has influenced generations of nationalists, thinkers, and revolutionaries. His book, Madilog, has served as a cornerstone for critical thinking, encouraging Indonesians to challenge outdated beliefs and embrace rational thought.

Throughout his life, Tan Malaka has sacrificed personal safety for his ideals. He has endured exile, imprisonment, and persecution, yet his commitment to freedom has never wavered. His role in underground resistance movements has played a crucial part in shaping Indonesia’s path to independence. Even today, his works have continued to inspire those who seek justice and equality.

Despite his significant contributions, his place in history has not always been fully acknowledged. His vision for an independent and socially just Indonesia has remained relevant, as many of the challenges he identified—such as inequality and political repression—have yet to be completely overcome. His intellectual legacy has stood the test of time, and his ideas have been studied by scholars and activists who seek solutions to modern-day issues.

For these reasons, I strongly believe that Tan Malaka deserves this recognition. His courage, sacrifice, and enduring influence have made him one of Indonesia’s most remarkable historical figures.

I believe Rudi Hartono's achievements and on going commitment environmental protection make him an excellent candidate for this honor.

Thank you for you consideration.

Sincerely,

I am privileged to nominate R.A. Kartini as a Local Hero, recognizing her unparalleled contributions to the advancement of women’s rights, education, and social reform in Indonesia. Kartini’s legacy continues to inspire individuals across the nation and around the world, and her achievements have left an indelible mark on the fight for gender equality and empowerment.

Kartini has dedicated her life to advocating for the education of women, especially in rural areas where opportunities were previously limited. She has laid the groundwork for a future where women could access the same educational opportunities as men. Her pioneering work in establishing the importance of female education has created a ripple effect that has continued for generations. Through her efforts, many women have been able to realize their potential and contribute meaningfully to society.

Kartini has also become a symbol of resistance against the societal norms of her time. She has challenged the deeply entrenched gender roles that restricted women’s autonomy and opportunities. By using her writings and activism, she has voiced the struggles of Indonesian women, and her advocacy has inspired other female leaders to continue the fight for equality. Her letters, full of wisdom and foresight, have served as a source of guidance for women across Indonesia.

In addition to her educational reforms, Kartini’s influence has extended into areas such as social justice and cultural transformation. She has encouraged women to aspire beyond domestic confines, to embrace careers, and to actively participate in society’s development. Many initiatives that continue to empower women in Indonesia can trace their origins back to the groundwork laid by Kartini.

Despite her passing, Kartini's work is far from complete. Her ideas have ignited a movement that has gained momentum and continues to grow. Many organizations, schools, and women’s groups across Indonesia are still working to fulfill the vision she had for a more inclusive, equal society. Her advocacy for women's education remains a key driving force in numerous projects aimed at providing girls with equal opportunities for learning and personal growth.

Kartini's influence has continued to reverberate through time, and her fight for the rights of women has not only improved the lives of countless individuals but has also shaped the nation’s history. As a local hero, Kartini has exemplified the courage, determination, and vision required to enact profound social change.

For all these reasons, I strongly recommend R.A. Kartini as a deserving candidate for the Local Hero recognition. Her legacy is a reminder of the power one individual has to change the course of history, and her contributions have made an everlasting impact on Indonesia and the world.

Thank you for your consideration.

The Aceh War, which began in 1873, was a long and brutal conflict between the Acehnese and the Dutch. Cut Nyak Dhien's involvement in the war deepened after the deaths of her husbands, Teuku Ibrahim Lamnga and later Teuku Umar, both of whom were key figures in the Acehnese resistance. She became a powerful leader, continuing the fight against the Dutch with unwavering determination. She led guerrilla warfare, enduring harsh conditions and demonstrating remarkable resilience.

After years of fighting, she was eventually captured by the Dutch in 1905. Due to the Dutch fearing that her presence would keep the acehnese resistance alive, she was then exiled to Sumedang, West Java.  

She passed away on November 6, 1908, in exile.

Ibu Siti Rahayu has dedicated the past 15 years to improving the lives of underprivileged children in our village. Since 2008, she has worked tirelessly to establish and maintain a free after-school learning center.

Specifically, Ibu Siti Rahayu has successfully implemented a program to provide educational support and creative activities for children who lack access to resources. She has also organized numerous community events, including weekly storytelling sessions, art workshops, and annual children's festivals, which have brought our community together and fostered a sense of belonging.

Despite facing numerous challenges, including limited funding and a lack of volunteers, Ibu Siti Rahayu has remained committed to her cause.

She has consistently demonstrated unwavering compassion, remarkable resilience, and a deep understanding of the unique needs of our children.

She has been attempting to expand the learning center to include vocational training, and she has been seeking partnerships with local businesses to provide scholarships.

Ibu Siti Rahayu has not finished her mission to empower every child in Desa Sukamaju. She has been planning new initiatives to provide digital literacy training and access to online learning resources. She has been working on creating a sustainable funding model to ensure the long-term viability of the learning center.

The positive changes Ibu Siti Rahayu has brought to our community are undeniable. She has shown us the transformative power of education and the importance of investing in our children's future. For these reasons, I believe Ibu Siti Rahayu is an exemplary local hero and deserves to be recognized for her outstanding contributions.

Thank you for considering this nomination.

I am writing to nominate Mohammad Hatta for the Local Hero Award in recognition of his profound and lasting contributions to Indonesia’s independence, democracy, and moral leadership. As a visionary statesman, intellectual, and co-founder of the Republic of Indonesia, Mohammad Hatta played a crucial role in shaping the foundations of our nation.

Throughout his life, Hatta demonstrated a deep commitment to justice, freedom, and the welfare of the Indonesian people. He stood alongside Soekarno on August 17, 1945, to proclaim Indonesia’s independence, an act of immense courage and significance that changed the course of our nation's history. As Vice President, and later as Prime Minister, he guided the young republic through its most formative years with integrity and wisdom.

One of Hatta’s most notable contributions was his economic philosophy, which emphasized cooperative development and people-centered progress. He believed that true independence could only be achieved through economic self-sufficiency, and he championed the growth of cooperatives across the archipelago. This legacy lives on in Indonesia’s cooperative movement today.

In addition to his economic vision, Hatta was a staunch defender of democracy and ethical governance. He was known for his modesty, honesty, and principled leadership, a rare and inspiring example in political life. He often rejected personal gain and remained deeply committed to serving the public good. His writings and speeches continue to serve as a guide for those who strive to lead with conscience and clarity.

Mohammad Hatta’s international outlook also helped place Indonesia on the world stage. Fluent in several languages and educated in the Netherlands, he used his global perspective to advocate for Indonesia’s place among independent nations and to promote peaceful cooperation between countries.

Even after leaving political office, Hatta remained an influential thinker and elder statesman, always advocating for the values of democracy, education, and moral responsibility. His legacy is one of intellect, humility, and unwavering dedication to the Indonesian people.

I strongly believe that Mohammad Hatta deserves to be honored with the Local Hero Award. His enduring impact on our national identity, political integrity, and socio-economic philosophy reflects the true spirit of Indonesian heroism.

Thank you for considering this nomination.

Sincerely,
Romayo D. Rayde
