Mega worried about state documents<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: President Megawati Soekarnoputri expressed concern
\nMonday over the disappearance of thousands of important state
\ndocuments, including the Surat Perintah 11 Maret (The March 11
\nInstruction Letter), popularly known as Supersemar.<\/p>\n
Speaking during the opening ceremony of an international
\nseminar on archives here on Monday, the President said the
\ndisappearance of important state documents demonstrated the
\nstate's poor appreciation of many important papers.<\/p>\n
"How can such an important document, and thousands of other
\nimportant papers, disappear? It reflects the level of
\nappreciation of our own history," the President said.<\/p>\n
Supersemar, issued by former president Sukarno, served as a
\nlegal basis for former dictator Soeharto to assume leadership of
\nthe nation in 1967.<\/p>\n
Only former Military Commander Gen. Daud Joesoef is believed
\nto have any knowledge about Supersemar, but so far he has refused
\nto talk about the document.<\/p>\n
Even after she became President, Megawati, Sukarno's daughter,
\nstill could not find the truth or the whereabouts of the
\nimportant document.--JP<\/p>",
