Speaking on the theme \u201cCharting Indonesia\u2019s Future Trajectory Amid the Paradox Between Resources and Reality,\u201d Dardak offered his perspective on the country\u2019s current state.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-213d087dcd53f543155fc09f53411482\"><strong>Trajectory as foundation of national sovereignty<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p>Dardak began by describing a trajectory as a roadmap that guides a nation\u2019s direction while also functioning as a strategic tool to achieve its aspirations. He explained that trajectories often present two approaches: projecting forward or learning from the past. Reflecting on Indonesia, he noted that although the nation is rich in resources, its people still question why prosperity remains elusive. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIndonesia is an agrarian country. Others should be the ones intimidated by us. So why are we the ones worried about imports? We should be leading the global food market. That\u2019s the paradox,\u201d he said on Monday (24\/11\/2025).<\/p>\n\n<p>To him, food independence is essential. Without it, a country cannot fully capitalize on its natural resources. \u201cWhen we talk about resilience, the priority is maintaining safe stock, even if it comes from abroad. But food sovereignty means being self-sufficient. It means producing our own supply and not depending on other countries,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2856645299870c6bd663f0297a998ec0\"><strong>Learning from Singapore<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p>The East Java Deputy Governor continued by noting that the gap between Indonesia\u2019s resources and its reality takes many forms. He expressed concern that Indonesia\u2019s comparative advantage may be falling behind, making decisive action necessary. Drawing on Tony Blair\u2019s reflections, he highlighted three strategic decisions made by Singapore\u2019s founding Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew.<\/p>\n\n<p>First, after Singapore separated from the Federation of Malaya, Lee Kuan Yew made English the national working language, believing it would connect Singapore to the global community. Second, the government committed to a strict, zero-tolerance stance on corruption, with the belief that investing heavily in professional salaries would prevent unethical behavior.<\/p>\n\n<p>Third, as Blair recounted, Lee Kuan Yew insisted that Singapore remain open to talent from anywhere, without restrictions. Anyone could contribute to the nation\u2019s progress. This openness shows in the rise of the National University of Singapore, once overlooked and now ranked among the world\u2019s top ten universities.<\/p>\n\n<p>Dardak stressed that Indonesia does not need to copy Singapore exactly but can still draw lessons from its example. \u201cSingapore seeks the best talent without regard to nationality, students included. What does that tell us? Their mindset isn\u2019t \u2018I\u2019m wealthy so I should spend it.\u2019 Instead, it\u2019s \u2018We must strive to be the best to survive.\u2019 Their mentality is that without struggle, you cannot succeed,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n<p>Author: Uswatun Khasanah\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Editor: Yulia Rohmawati<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNAIR NEWS \u2013 The Student Executive Body (BEM) of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) successfully hosted Dr Emil Elestianto Dardak BBus MSc PhD as the keynote speaker of its national seminar.
