Kalau meniaga tepi jalan, elakkan terlalu fancy dan cute, be direct and simple. Besarkan apa yang kamu jual, Kecilkan apa jenama kamu.

83 years ago today, Soe Hok Gie was born. An intellectual who emerged as one of the most influential moral voices in the nation’s modern history, he was widely known as an activist who relentlessly criticized those in power across political eras. His impact stemmed from his sharp political writings and personal journals, later published as Catatan Seorang Demonstran. He is also recognized as a pioneer of Indonesia’s student mountaineering movement, promoting outdoor exploration as a means of character-building, discipline, and environmental awareness. This vision later inspired the formation of adventure clubs across universities nationwide. His legacy continues to resonate in discussions of democracy, freedom of thought, activism, and environmental movements, cementing him as a cross-generational icon who chose integrity, even when it meant standing alone.
