Bung Karno's signature

Bung Karno's signature

From Pikiran Rakyat

The New Order government used to regard March 11 as a sacred day because it commemorated the issue of the March 11 Instruction.

The government interpreted the order as a power transfer.

Recently, the media has discussed at length details concerning its issuance and the loss of the original document. It is said that the March 11 Instruction consisted of two pages. This is strengthened by the testimony of prominent people including former vice president Sudharmono. However, the print media cites a copy of one page only.

The question is who made the one-page version of the March 11 Instruction? Also, who falsified the signature of Bung Karno (as RI's first president Sukarno was popularly known)? I think this requires thorough investigation because counterfeiting the letter and signature of a president is more evil than tapping his telephone conversation.

If Attorney General Andi Ghalib is confused about detecting the power abuses of former president Soeharto, he should look into this fraudulent case.
