Proud to Be! Ahsan and Dude Herlino Support the Collaboration Between Istiqlal Mosque and Le Minerale, a Product Proudly Made in Indonesia

Kapanlagi.com - As the next generation of the nation, cool young people are those who have a high sense of nationalism and love for their homeland. This can be done in many ways, one of which is the commitment to using products that are proudly made in Indonesia.

Yes, if you pay attention, many local brands have recently emerged with product quality that is on par with foreign brands. Surely, as the next generation of the nation, there is a unique sense of pride when using brands that are indeed produced in Indonesia by Indonesians themselves!

This sense of pride is also shown by Mohammad Ahsan and famous actor Dude Herlino. Both expressed their pride in the collaboration between Le Minerale and Istiqlal Mosque, a strategic step that emphasizes nationalism through support for Indonesian-made products. The inauguration of this collaboration was agreed upon through the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) at Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta, which solidified the joint commitment to support Indonesia's progress.

Ahsan and Dude Fully Support Indonesian Made Products

Istiqlal Mosque itself is one of Indonesia's iconic mosques that not only serves as a role model for Muslims in religious matters but also symbolizes nationalism. Meanwhile, Le Minerale is an Indonesian-made product that has contributed to realizing Indonesia's aspirations for independence and competitiveness.

This collaboration was well received by Ahsan and Dude Herlino, who proudly support the synergy between two major entities that represent Indonesian values.

Mohammad Ahsan, a badminton legend, stated, “As an athlete who brings the name of Indonesia to the international stage, of course, I always prioritize and choose products that are not only of high quality but also have national values. Similarly, in terms of cooperation, Le Minerale and I share a common mission to bring goodness for Indonesia.”
He added that choosing quality mineral water is very important to maintain his physical fitness. But that's not all, M. Ahsan himself has also long collaborated with Le Minerale.

"In addition to our shared mission, I am confident in collaborating with Le Minerale because Le Minerale is a proud Indonesian product owned by the nation. Therefore, when I learned about the collaboration between Le Minerale and Masjid Istiqlal, I felt proud. It’s an extraordinary collaboration for Indonesia," he said.

Dude Herlino, who has long worked with Mayora, also expressed his confidence. "I always strive to be on the path blessed by Allah SWT, including in choosing my work. I hope that through every job I take, I can always bring positive messages, blessings, and benefits. Therefore, in collaborations, I am selective in choosing brands and prioritize national brands that are authentically owned by Indonesia."

According to Dude, authentic Indonesian brands are a source of national pride that are now competitive on a global level.

"I have long collaborated with Mayora. For me, Mayora’s brands, including Le Minerale, are not just brands, but representations of the positive values that I believe in." Therefore, I am proud and fully support this brand that truly belongs to Indonesia," he continued.

Dude himself has long been in collaboration with Mayora. He believes that Mayora is an Indonesian company whose shares are mostly owned by Indonesian citizens and its benefits are widely accepted by the Indonesian community.

"As part of the Mayora family, I am also pleased to be part of the collaboration journey of Le Minerale with Masjid Istiqlal. For me personally, this collaboration strengthens my commitment to support local brands that have a broad impact on our society," Dude shared again.

Supported by MUI

Support for this collaboration also comes from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). MUI Secretary General, Arif Fahrudin expressed the importance of supporting local products in order to achieve the economic independence of the nation.

"Le Minerale is a product of the homeland, and the collaboration with Masjid Istiqlal is very fitting in this context. Indonesia must be economically, politically, and culturally independent, in accordance with our constitutional mandate. This collaboration is not just about the products, but also about the values that we uphold as a nation."

The Grand Imam of Masjid Istiqlal, Prof.Dr. K.H. Nasaruddin Umar, M.A., also emphasized the importance of loving and supporting domestic products.

“Istiqlal Mosque is committed to being a national forum, and one way to do this is by collaborating with authentic Indonesian products. Le Minerale not only provides direct benefits to the mosque but also inspires all of us to support and drive the nation’s economy.”

Certainly, this collaboration is expected to provide a positive and sustainable contribution. Le Minerale plans to carry out various social initiatives, such as sending Istiqlal's marbot for umrah, providing scholarships for their children, and rejuvenating culinary centers and charity activities in the mosque’s vicinity.

Febri Satria Hutama, Marketing Director of Le Minerale, expressed his gratitude. “We are very honored to be chosen as the official mineral water of Istiqlal Mosque. As an authentic Indonesian product, we are committed to continue supporting national values and inspiring the younger generation of Indonesia to love local products.”

He also revealed that this collaboration is not just about business, but also a tangible form of support for the nation’s economic independence. The hope is certainly to set an example for society and institutions to love and support domestic products more.
