Despite it's diversity and archipelagic nature, Indonesia is a Unitary State. We have common national identity as Indonesian. From 1928, our forefather have made a vow to unify Indonesia. One Country, One Nation, One language, Indonesia.

And long before that, Majapahit Kingdom of Java (the center of power in Indonesia today) even have greater territory that include Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and part of Philippine and Thailand. In it's glorious past, "ASEAN" (the core 6 member) was "Indonesia".

Thank you for the answer. I, personally, am very interested in Indonesia because most of the Indonesian people I met were great, very polite and absolutely friendly. So I have a couple of questions regarding Indonesia. What is the difference between Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesia? Aren't Javanese, Sundanese and Madurese people basically the same ethnicity? How strong is the Malay identity among these groups? How is the relation between Indonesia and Malaysia today? Is there a political movement in either country which aims the unification of Indonesia and Malaysia? Is the Pan-Indonesian identity solidified nowadays? Which groups show the strongest rejection of a common Indonesian identity and why? How is the current situation in Papua? Does the central state have everything under control? How is your relation with Vanuatu? Are they still supporting terrorists in Papua?

Javanese, Sundanese and Madurese is same stock of people but came from different sub-ethnicity, well the comparison is almost look like the Austrian, German , the Dutchman and Belgium, they are came from same stock of people but from different sub-ethnicity. Malaysia and Indonesia languages differences more akin to the differences between Dutch and Germany languages. Well Indonesian people is usually regarding Malay race to ethnic groups living in Riau ,Jambi, Bengkulu (Sumatran Island) and Malaysian peninsular, the other doesn't consider themselves as Malay.

Indonesia and Malaysia had a much closer and warm relationship more than ever. We not need to be unified, along with Singapore, the trio of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore is cornerstone of ASEAN so we must protect the harmony between the three.

Indonesia is much more solid than ever, the one who had rejected Indonesian National identity and the most dangerous form is came from the Radicalist Islam Movement like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, JI, and other movements who want to implement hardcore version of Sharia and oppress the minority at homes. Papua is becoming developed by each passing years, currently Papuan economy is much larger than all of the Pacific Nation economy compiled.

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Military medicine plays a crucial role in addressing crisis situations in the world, both during war and peace, said Major General Dr. Terawan, the chairman of the International Committee of Military Medicine (ICMM).

He was speaking at the Eighth International Conference of the Royal Medical Services (RMS) and the 7th Regional Assembly of the Pan Arab Regional Working Group of the International Committee of Military Medicine.

Maj.Gen Terawan explained the importance of military medicine in war or peace when it comes to supporting and maintaining health, preventing injuries and illnesses to any military personnel.

"In addition, military medicine also plays its role in emergency situations to address peoples health crisis, conflicts, natural disasters and other eventualities," he noted.

The conference, which was opened by the King of Jordan, Abdullah II, as the Supreme Commander of the Jordanian Armed Forces, focuses on progress and development in the field of medicine. Also, it acts as a platform for exchange of ideas and for promoting networking and expertise in this sector, especially among personnel who handle military medicine.
