Our Story Touring Around Indonesia Harmoni: Riding a Motorcycle from Aceh to Papua

  The Touring Indonesia Harmony. I (Kamaruzzaman Bustamam-Ahmad) and my wife (Fitri Zulfidar), with a motorcycle, Kawasaki Versys 250, we named Nyak Ver departed from Banda Aceh to Papua, Merauke, to be exact. That’s our journey around Indonesia. This activity is fully supported by BNPT (National Counter-Terrorist Agency) for  ​​Commissioner-General Boy Rafli Ammar’s big idea as Head of BNPT. This idea started with our dinner with the Head and BNPT officials in Banda Aceh on February 24, 2021. The head of BNPT asked us to travel around Indonesia to carry out the mission of Indonesia Harmoni, one of BNPT’s taglines in introducing the mission of anti-radicalism, terrorism, extremism, and intolerant. When Mr. Boy Rafli Amar brought this idea up, we almost couldn’t believe it because usually, officials throw around ideas.           However, former Deputy I of BNPT, Major General (Retired) Hendri P. Lubis, crystallized that I must follow Pak Boy’s idea. Then, he asked me to write a proposal and the Budget to be submitted to the BNPT. We informed the FKPT members in Aceh that there was a mission that had to be completed from the BNPT. They were greeted with great enthusiasm. When the FKPT National Working Meeting was in Labuhan Bajo, the issue of Touring Indonesia Harmoni continued to roll around. The Head and Deputy I kept saying that there would be a Head of the FKPT Aceh who would tour Indonesia with his wife. After returning from the National Working Meeting, we, together with a small team from FKPT Aceh, tried to formulate the concept and form of activities for Touring Indonesia Harmoni. Mr. Joko and  Dr. Mukhlisuddin Ilyas worked on the sidelines of their busy schedule to prepare proposals.    TrendingConsciousness 2045: From Artificial Intelligence to Artificial Consciousness and the Future of Humanity
