Indonesians think of fellow co.nvert their citizenship cry.pto news indonesia live
These are Indonesian general opinion about the Netherlands. Ill start from the very first impression that Indonesians will think They colonized us in the past. And it was really a nightmare in our history. Dutch colonization was one of the WORST in humans history. Unlike the French and British who still shared their language and culture, the Dutch had no intentions to share their language and culture to keep its purity against dirty inlanders pejorative for native Indonesians at that time. I think I dont need to explain further about how dreadful Dutch colonization was. You guys can lea.rn it from Wikipedia. Where will you co.ntinue your study? Netherlands! Where will you spend your summer break? Netherlands! , despite of traumatic past, Indonesians in general have no grudge against the Netherlands as long as you are not triggering them to speak about history. Every year, many Indonesian tourists visit Europe and the Netherlands is almost always on their list. For us, the Netherlands is a beautiful country with breath taking views. Suitable for vacation. Dutch institutions also grant many scholarships for Indonesian students. Perhaps, historical co.nnection between the two plays very significant factor here many Indonesian scholars study in the Netherlands in the past, including our founding faers!. Besides, Dutch education has been also very popular in Indonesia for their high quality. Cindy, what do you think about Dutch governments decision on legalizing same s.ex marriage in the country? Well, I think their democracy has gone too far. Although we are also a democratic country, Indonesian society is still co.nservative like many Asian countries do. Many liberal policies taken by the Dutch government sound too weird for us. We have quite different norms here. In short, some Indonesians think that the Netherlands is an over free country. Is it true that prostitution are legalized and regulated there? And everyone can just have oral sx in narrow streets in Red Light District? Its disgusting! For someone who has never visited the Netherlands or meet their people before, they will be easily believe this. I dont know about having oral sx in the streets sounds too vulgar I think, but relating to legalized prostitutions, we have different norms here that makes it really sinful. So you are coming here from Europe? Are you from the Netherlands? So many Dutch tourists and businessmen coming to Indonesia every year, and it is good. You can find them relatively easily in touristic spots in Bali or Jakarta. In fact, rural Indonesians in Java still mention all white people as Londo. It is Javanese form for Dutch from Bahasas version of Belanda, which is possibly absorbed from the word Holland. But dont worry, Dutch tourists along with German have positive views here at least by airport taxi drivers I talk to. They are nice and often give them tip, unlike rich Middle Eastern tourists. So I am quite sure they are welcomed warmly here. Dont you dare intervene in our internal affairs! For some time, Indonesian view against the Netherlands can be very hostile mainly if they start to intervene in something we regard as our internal affairs and separative groups. Establishment of Free Papua Movement, the Republic of South Moluccas, and execution of dru traffickers are prominent examples. Since reformation in 1998, Indonesia very rare to, if never, intervening other countrys internal affairs because we respect their sovereignty and do we hope other country including the Netherlands respect our sovereignty too. Separative groups and dru.g trafficking are two the most UNACCEPTED ISSUES by vast majority of Indonesians. Fight against the two gains overwhelmingly strong support at hom.e. So, when the Netherlands or any other country starts to co.ndemn us, patronize, dictate, and tell us what we have supposed to do, they not only offend the Indonesian government, but Indonesia as a whole nation! Since Indonesian people are very patriotic, intervening in such issues mainly the separative groups will completely dtroy the relationship between the two. Maybe there are many things I skipped but overall, I believe these are what Indonesians think about the Netherlands in general. Now, let me provide my personal opinion. My feeling toward the Netherlands is mixed. Well, I am sure now there is no hostility between the two people. The Netherlands is a beautiful country, their people are nice, very good disciplines, hont, and have the lowt corruption in the world. Indonesia has to lea.rn many things about this from the Netherlands. But, I also have negative view regarding their democracy and freedom, which for me, has gone too far. And dont ever argue about history too much because Indonesians regard it as the most bitter and shameful history that ca
