The honorable adjudicators of English
Speech Contest,
The honorable teachers,
The honorable participants,
The honorable audiences,
First of all, let us praise the Almighty Allah SWT, because of His blessings we are able to attend this English speech contest. Secondly, may peace be upon the prophet Muhammad SAW who has guided us from the darkness into the brightness.
I also would like to say thank you very much to the master of ceremony who has given me the opportunity to deliver an English speech in front of you all.
Ladies and gentlemen’s
Allow me to deliver my speech entitled: The penalties for user and drug dealers.
I
agree with giving punishment is worth it to users and drug dealers. The
sentence was the form of capital punishment. The death penalty is carried out
in order to save the younger generation. The first is in terms of law
enforcement. So far, Indonesia has become the drug market, due to the lack of
severe punishment that makes the smugglers were afraid or wary. Why the
smugglers did choose Indonesia rather than Malaysia? That's because,
uncompromising laws of Malaysia with the smugglers and drug users. I do not
care about human rights, for me, which violated the human rights precisely the
smugglers who've ruined the younger generation. So put to death several people
I consider to be better than letting millions of our children's future is
threatened, if the younger generation has been fed with the drug who else will
be the successor to the nation later on?
Ladies and Gentlemen’s
Thousands of young men have wasted
their lives because of illicit drugs in our country, Indonesia. They were
mostly victims of a ‘cruel’ environment, a broken-home family, of ignorance, of
curiosity or particularly of the illegal drugs mafia. It is estimated that
around 4 million people in Indonesia illicit drug users – about one in every 50
Indonesians. In the capital city of Jakarta, it is estimated that three out of
ten young people are users. A study by the International Labor Organization
(ILO) office in Indonesia showed that around four per cent of illicit drug
users in the country are children under 17 years old. Two out of ten users are
involved in illicit trafficking. Some teenagers start being involved in
producing and trafficking drugs between the ages of 13 and 15. Chairman of the
National Narcotics Coordinating Board said that the country’s illicit drug
users include around 7,000 junior high school students, over 10,000 senior high
school students and about 800 elementary school students.
Ladies and Gentlemen’s
People usually take drugs to have fun
or escape the pressures of life. Drug users among students are particularly
worrying. It was reported that a number of traffickers operate around schools
by cheating, forcing or giving free illicit drugs to students. Once the
students are addicted, they then go to the traffickers to buy the illicit
drugs. If they do not have money, they steal it from their family members or
others. Narkoba’ is the Indonesian term for narcotics, psychotropic and
addictive substances. Psychotropic substances popularly called Ecstasy and
Shabu-shabu are considered favorites among the middle and upper class users.
However, for an increasing number of young people, the drug of choice is
low-grade heroin, known as putaw, which is cheap, plentiful, but potentially
deadly. These drugs are readily available in all major urban areas, including
schools, Karaoke lounges, bars, cafes, discotheques, nightclubs, and they even
spread into remote villages. Therefore it is not surprising that drug users
continue to increase from year to year.
Ladies and Gentlemen’s
The facts above showed us how familiar
“Narkoba” issues in our young generation. First we should know what’s the
meaning of drugs addiction? Drug addiction is a complex brain disease. It is
characterized by compulsive, at times uncontrollable, drug craving, seeking,
and use that persist even in the face of extremely negative consequences. Drug
seeking becomes compulsive, in large part as a result of the effects of
prolonged drug use on brain functioning and, thus, on behavior. For many
people, drug addiction becomes chronic, with relapses possible even after long
periods of abstinence. The Definition confirm us how serious the consequences
of using Drugs.
Ladies and Gentlemen’s
Drug abuse has also contributed to the
increase of HIV/AIDS patients, through the usage of unsterile injections.
According to a report based on an illicit drug and injection safety study of 20
Asian countries conducted by the Center for Harm Reduction in Australia’s
Burnet Institute, drug injecting is spreading to all the countries [of Asia]
and its popularity is increasing. Our Country, Indonesia have up to 1 million
drug injectors, and 19% of them were infected HIV/AIDS. How dangerous the drugs
abuse for us.
Ladies and Gentlemen’s especially, the
young Generation
This is an extremely serious issue for
us. It is a threat that could kill an entire generation. One generation of this
nation will be lost if we do not take action together and immediately. In short,
we must be ready to go to war against illicit drugs and the war must start from
home. Then, what can we do as the young generation? Prevention is better than
cure. Avoid the Drugs, don’t ever think to try just because you curios. Because
once you try, you will be trapped and later become addicted, and the addiction
will finally turn you into criminals or take your lives. We have so many examples
around us, what happened to the users. Some become crazy, some was going to the
jail, and the others were died. All of them loose their future. I believe we
don’t want such things happened to ourselves.
So I totally agree with the giving
worth punishment to user and drugs dealers. That's all my speech. Thank you for
your attention.
Wassalamu'alikum Wr. Wb.
