Sutomo

Bung Tomo in Surabaya

Sutomo (October 3, 1920 - October 7, 1981),[1] also known as Bung Tomo, is best known for his role as an Indonesian military leader during the Indonesian National Revolution against the Netherlands. He played a central role in Battle of Surabaya when the British attacked the city in October and November 1945.

Sutomo was born in Kampung Blauran in the centre of Surabaya to a clerk father, Kartawan Tjiptowidjojo, and mother of mixed Javanese, Sundanese and Madurese descent. He was forced to give up his education at the age of twelve because of family economic hardship during the Great Depression. Alongside menial jobs, he joined the Indonesian Scouting organisation and at the age of seventeen as the second Pramuka Garuda; a rank achieved by only three Indonesians before the Japanese occupation during World War II.[1]

Indonesian National Revolution

During the Japanese occupation, Sutomo was chosen in 1944 as a member of the Japanese-sponsored Gerakan Rakyat Baru (New People's Movement). During the early stages of the Indonesian National Revolution he played a central role when Surabaya came under British attack. Although the city was lost to the Dutch's European allies, the battle served to galvanise Indonesian and international opinion in support of the independence cause. Sutomo spurred thousands of Indonesians to action with his distinctive, emotional speaking-style of his radio broadcasts. His "clear, burning eyes, that penetrating, slightly nasal voice, or that hair-raising oratorical style that second only to Sukarno's in its emotional power".[1]

"Hey Britain, as long as the wild ox, the youth of Indonesia, still have red blood that can make a white cloth red and white... as long as that we will not surrender. Friends, fellow fighters... especially the youth of Indonesia, we will fight on, will will expel the colonialists from our Indonesian land that we love... Long have we suffered, been exploited, trampled on. Now is the time for us to seize our independence. Our slogan: FREEDOM OR DEATH. GOD IS GREAT... GOD IS GREAT... GOD IS GREAT.. FREEDOM!" Bung Tomo's radio speech, 9 November 1945.[2]

Post independence

His relationship with President Sukarno soured after Bung Tomo offended the president by asking about personal matters.[3] Post 1950s, Sutomo emerged again as a national figure during the 1965 turbulent period. Initially, he supported Suharto to replace the left-leaning Sukarno government, but later opposed aspects of the New Order regime.[1] On April 11, 1978, he was detained by the government for his outspoken criticism of corruption and abuses of power; upon his release five years later, however, Sutomo continued to loudly voice his criticisms. He said that he did not want to be buried in the Heroes' Cemetery because it was full of "fairweather heroes" who had lacked the courage to defend the nation at times of crisis, but when peace came appeared in public to glorify their achievements.[3]

Personal life

On 9 June 1947, Sutomo married Sulistina in Malang, East Java.[2] He was known as a devoutly religious father of five who took knowledge seriously throughout his life. Before his death, Sutomo managed to finish a draft of his own dissertation on the role of religion in village-level development. On October 7, 1981, he died in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, during his Hajj pilgrimage.[1] Renowned as a 1945 Revolution hero, his family and friends succeeded in their request for his body to be returned to Indonesia, but although his reputation and military rank gave him the right to be buried in the Heroes' Cemetery, he was laid to rest in public burial ground at Ngagel, East Java.

Basuki Rahmat

Basuki Rahmat

Basuki Rahmat ( 14 November 1921- 9 January 1969) was an Indonesian General and a witness to the signing of the Supersemar document transferring power from President Sukarno to General Suharto.


Major General Basuki Rahmat



Basuki Rahmat was born on 14 November 1921 in Tuban, East Java. His father, Raden Soedarsono Soenodihardjo, was assistant to a local district chief. His mother, Soeratni, died in January 1925 when Basuki was only four years old, ten days after giving birth to another son. When he was seven, Basuki was sent to elementary school. In 1932 his father died, resulting in a temporary halt to Basuki's education. He was sent to live with his father's younger sister and finished his education, graduating from junior high school in 1939 and from the Yogyakarta Muhammadiyah school in 1942, just as the Japanese invasion of Indonesia started[1].
Military career

In 1943, During the Japanese occupation of Indonesia, Basuki joined the Defenders of the Motherland Army (PETA), an auxiliary force ran by the Japanese to train extra soldiers in the case of a United States invasion of Java. In PETA, Basuki rose to become a Company Commander.
With the Proclamation of Independence on 17 August 1945 by Nationalist leaders Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, Basuki, like many other youths began to band into militias in preparation for the formation of an Indonesian Army. On 5 October 1945, the People's Security Army (TKR) was formed, with Basuki enlisting with TKR on the same month at the town of Ngawi in his native province of East Java. There he was stationed with KODAM VII/Brawijaya (then known as Military Territory V/Brawijaya), the military command charged with the security of East Java.
At this Kodam, Basuki served as a Battalion Commander at Ngawi (1945-1946), Battalion Commander at Ronggolawe (1946-1950), Regimental Commander stationed at Bojonegoro (1950-1953), Chief of Staff to the Commander of Military Territory V/Brawijaya (1953-1956) and Acting Commander of Military Territory V/Brawijaya (1956)[2].
In September 1956, Basuki was transferred to Melbourne, Australia to serve as a military attache to the embassy there. Basuki returned to Indonesia in November 1959 and served as Assistant IV/Logistics to Army Chief of Staff Abdul Haris Nasution.
Basuki returned to KODAM VII/Brawijaya in 1960, serving as Chief of Staff before finally becoming the Commander in 1962[2].
By 1965, there was a great deal of political tension in Indonesia, especially between the Army and the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI). The PKI, which had slowly but surely gained a footing in Indonesian politics, was now set to become the most powerful political party because of their association with President Sukarno. In September 1965, Basuki grew wary of communist activities in East Java and decided to go to Jakarta to see the Commander of the Army, Ahmad Yani [3].
It was the evening of 30 September when Basuki met with Yani and reported of the goings on in his province. Yani complimented Basuki on the report and wanted him to come along for the meeting that he was going to have with the President the next morning.
The next morning on 1 October, Basuki was contacted by the Army Headquarters and notified of the kidnapping of the generals, including Yani. Hearing this, Basuki together with an aide went in a car and took a drive around the city to check what was going on. As he was driving, Basuki noticed his troops from East Java, the 530th Battalion guarding the Presidential Palace and was even more surprised that they were not wearing any identification [4]. After being advised against approaching them by his aide, Basuki drove back to his accommodation where he was informed that he was needed at the Kostrad headquarters.
Basuki went to the Kostrad headquarters to find that the Commander of Kostrad, Major General Suharto had decided to assume the leadership of the Army and take control of the situation. From Suharto, Basuki found out that a movement calling themselves the 30 September movement had used the troops to occupy strategic points in Jakarta. Suharto then told Basuki that he needed him to negotiate the troops into surrendering before 6 PM or else he would use force. This, Basuki conveyed to the 530th Battalion who treated him with the utmost respect. Basuki was successful and by 4 PM, the 530th Battalion gave themselves up to Kostrad [5].
During the day, the G30S Movement made an announcement of a Revolutionary Council. Among the names listed was that of Basuki. This was not an isolated incident as many anti-Communist Generals such as Umar Wirahadikusumah and Amirmachmud were also listed on this council. Basuki was quick to deny the appointment.
Also during the day and unbeknownst to Basuki was the meeting held in Halim between Sukarno, Commander of the Air Force Omar Dhani, Commander of the Navy RE Martadinata, and Chief of Police Sucipto Judodiharjo to appoint a new Army Commander. Although it was Major General Pranoto Reksosamudra who would be appointed Commander of the Army, Basuki's name was briefly considered. It was quickly dismissed by Sukarno who joked that Basuki would always be taken ill when the occasion needed him.
After the 1st October, all the fingers pointed the blame at PKI and all over Indonesia, especially in Java, movements began to be formed with the aim of crushing PKI. For his part, Basuki returned to East Java to supervise the anti-PKI movements there.
On 16 October 1965, a rally was held in Surabaya during which a United Action Command consisting of various political parties was formed.
Although he had encouraged the political parties to join the United Action Command, Basuki did not commit his troops into cracking down on PKI as readily as all the other Commanders did. During the first weeks of a nationwide crackdown on PKI, nothing happened in the East Java capital of Surabaya. This lack of commitment together with the listing of Basuki's name as part of the Revolutionary Council caused many to suspect that Basuki was a PKI sympathizer. It needed some forcing from his staff before Basuki froze pro-PKI activities in Surabaya and East Java [6]
In November 1965, Basuki was transferred to Jakarta and became a staff member for Suharto was now the Commander of the Army, taking on the position of Deputy for Finance and Civil Relation. Basuki also become active as a member of the Social-Political Committee (Panitia Sospol), the Army political think-tank which Suharto set up after he had become Commander [7]
In February 1966, in a Cabinet Reshuffle, Basuki was named Minister of Veterans' Affairs.
Supersemar

Main article: Supersemar
On 11 March 1966, Basuki attended a cabinet meeting at the Presidential Palace, the first since Sukarno reshuffled the cabinet at the end of February. The meeting had not been underway long long before Sukarno, after receiving a note from the commander of his bodyguards, suddenly left the room. When the meeting was over, Basuki and the Minister of Industry, Mohammad Jusuf, went outside the Presidential Place to join Amirmachmud the Commander of KODAM V/Jaya. Basuki was then updated on what had happened and was informed that Sukarno had left for Bogor by helicopter because it was not secure in Jakarta.
Jusuf suggested that the three of them go to Bogor to provide moral support for Sukarno. The other two Generals agreed and together, the three left to Bogor after asking for Suharto's permission. According to Amirmachmud, Suharto asked the three Generals to tell Sukarno of his readiness to restore security should the President order it.
At Bogor, the three met with Sukarno who was unhappy with the security and with Amirmachmud's insistence that everything was secure. Sukarno then began discussing options with the three Generals before finally Sukarno then began discussing options with Basuki, Jusuf, and Amirmachmud before finally asking them how he can take care of the situation. Basuki and Jusuf were silent, but Amirmachmud suggested that Sukarno give Suharto some powers and govern Indonesia with him so that everything can be secured. The meeting then disbanded as Sukarno began preparing a Presidential Decree.
It was dusk when the Decree that would become Supersemar was finally prepared and awaiting Sukarno's signature. Sukarno had some last minute doubts but Jusuf, together with the two Generals and Sukarno's inner circle in the Cabinet who had also made the trip to Bogor encouraged him to sign. Sukarno finally signed the letter. As the most senior out of the three Generals, Basuki was entrusted with the letter and ordered to pass it on to Suharto. That night, the three Generals immediately went to the Kostrad Headquarters and Basuki handed the letter to Suharto.
There was controversy over Basuki's role in Supersemar. One account states that four Generals had gone to Bogor, the fourth General being Maraden Panggabean. This account stated that together with Panggabean, Basuki held Sukarno at gun point and forced him to sign a pre-prepared Supersemar which Jusuf had carried with him inside a pink folder [8]
On the 13th March, Sukarno summoned Basuki, Jusuf, and Amirmachmud. Sukarno was angry that Suharto had banned the PKI and told the three Generals that Supersemar did not contain such instructions. Sukarno then ordered that a letter be produced to clarify the contents of Supersemar but nothing ever came up apart from the copies that former Cuban Ambassador, AM Hanafi collected.
New Order

The handing of Supersemar gave Suharto de facto executive powers and he soon began establishing a Cabinet more favorable to him. Basuki served as Minister of Home Affairs starting with Suharto's first Cabinet in March 1966 to the one which he named in June 1968 when he was officially the President.
Death

Basuki died on 9 January 1969 while still holding his office as Minister of Home Affairs. He was replaced by Amirmachmud in this position.[9]

Died: Ujungpandang, January 8, 1855
Father:Sutan Buwono III
Signs of Honor: National hero

Prince Diponegoro (1785-1855)
Warrior Be Clean

Born from a family of Yogyakarta Sultanate, has a spirit of leadership and heroism. His heart was clean and as a prince eventually led him to be a must appear in front in defense of family honor, the kingdom, the people and his nation from Dutch colonialism.
But the risk of heart cleanliness, he was arrested by the Dutch with a sly way, engineering negotiations. But even so, he will never regret that he died with a peaceful heart, not indebted to his nation, his people, his family, especially to himself.

Honesty, simplicity, humility, probity, leadership, heroism, that's perhaps a little character who captured when tracing the journey of our hero struggle who was born in Yogyakarta on November 11, 1785, this.

Prince Diponegoro whose original name Raden Mas Ontowiryo, this shows the simplicity or humility that when he refused his father's wishes, Sultan Hamengkubuwono III to make him king. He refused to remember the birth mother is not the queen.


For those greedy people who will position, the rejection must be very unfortunate. Because of greedy people, let alone be given, if necessary, seize anything done. Seeing this rejection, very clearly the nature of greed is not an iota of this Prince. There is only a pure heart. He did not want to accept what he thinks he is not entitled. Dipertunjukkannya That's the nature of the father's rejection of the bid.

Instead, he will also fight to the death what they are entitled according to him. Nature is evident when watching his attitude when he saw the Dutch in Yogyakarta treatment around the year 1920. His heart could not receive more when they saw a Dutch intervention in matters of the greater kingdom of Yogyakarta. Various regulation made by the Dutch government thinks highly degrading Javanese kings. This attitude is also very clearly show the nature of his leadership and heroism.

As we know that the Dutch at every opportunity always use the political 'belah' solve it. In Yogyakarta itself too, of Prince Diponegoro to see, that the nobles there often in Dutch sheep race. When these two nobles who played off-sheep mutual suspicion, the royal lands were more and more taken by the Dutch for plantation businessmen from the country's windmills.

Seeing this situation, a show of Prince Diponegoro was not happy and decided to leave the palace to settle in Tegalrejo onwards. Seeing such a manner, even accused him of preparing the Dutch rebellion. Thus on June 20, 1825, the Dutch do Tegalrejo invasion. Thus Java War had already begun.

In the war in this Tegalrejo, Prince and his troops were forced to retreat, and selajutnya began to build a new defense in Selarong. Carried out guerrilla war where troops moved around a lot to keep his troops hard to destroy the Dutch. This guerrilla warfare tactics in the first years of superior forces and make a lot of trouble the Dutch.

However, after the Dutch changed tactics by building forts in the area already occupied, finally Diponegoro any troop movements could no longer as free as before. In addition, the Dutch were always persuade the characters resistance to stop the war. Finally, starting from the year 1829 any resistance from the people less.

Dutch who occasionally still get resistance from the army of Diponegoro, in many ways continue to try to catch the prince. Dipergunaan was even a contest. Gulden 50,000 gift given to anyone who can catch Diponegoro. Diponegoro himself never to give up even though its strength weakened.

Because of the various ways by the Dutch never succeeded, so cunning and dirty game was done. Diponegoro was invited to Magelang to negotiate, with no assurance that any agreement, Diponegoro may return to a safe place. Diponegoro an honest and clean-hearted, believe the good intentions proposed by the Dutch. What is immoral, the invitation is apparently negotiating a scheme to capture this prince. In negotiations in Magelang on March 28, 1830, he was arrested and exiled to Manado what would later be transferred back to the Ujungpandang.

After about 25 years was arrested in Fort Rotterdam, Ujungpandang, finally, on January 8, 1855 he died. His remains were buried there. He died as a hero of a nation that never give up on oppresion human. ► juka
