(Writing Assignment)

I’d like to share about a TV show on NET TV, well known as “Custom Protection”. It’s such an interesting TV show. It shows us about how Indonesian Custom Officers who are in charge do their duty in terms of protecting our country from unexpected things, such as drugs, illegal things from other countries, illegal foreigners, etc. It shows us how they work, what they usually face in doing their duty, how hard their duty is, and many more. Then we can know that there are always officers who protect our country from the things everyday. This TV show takes place in airport, harbor, or even in a downtown of a big city

What they usually do, for instance, is checking passenger baggage, from and to other countries, in order to know what they are bringing. It’s important to do that because if the unexpected as well as illegal things were able to go through the “Filter” it can be a serious problem (as we can see, for instance, how dangerous drug is for young generation). When they are in a harbor, they will check the things from cargos, especially from other countries. They also check their passport, whether complete or not. If shipmen don’t have complete document, such as passport, then they will have to pass some kind tests from our officers. Maybe those are some things what they do everyday.

That is it. Maybe we don’t realize that dangers are watching our country everyday. But, fortunately our custom are always ready to help as well as protect our beloved country. It’s such a very important thing of course for a country to have such officers. We have to say thank you for all our officers, custom, soldiers, police officers, doctors, etc. for serving our country.
