Before being appointed as Honorary Lieutenant Colonel, Deddy Corbuzier was informed of the task to speak about national defense to millennials and Generation Z. This is because these groups are said to have forgotten the lyrics of the Indonesian national anthem and do not know who the national heroes are.

"When I was appointed, they said like this 'Can you organize a seminar about national defense for millennials and Generation Z? So that they become aware of national defense. I asked 'Why?' and they answered 'Because many people don't even know the lyrics of the Indonesian national anthem, they don't know when RA Kartini was born, and many Indonesians don't know who Sudirman is. Children who study in international schools don't even know about the Bandung Lautan Api incident,'" explained Deddy.

2. Honorary Allowance Less Than One Million

Deddy Corbuzier revealed that he was not paid for carrying out the task of national defense. In fact, the allowance for holding a honorary title is less than one million rupiah. Deddy once stated that he would not use the allowance and would return it to the country.

"In the past, I was paid when I attended events at universities, but when I was appointed for national defense, I was not paid. The full salary is 700 thousand rupiah," said the husband of Sabrina Chairunnisa.
