Mystery of March 11 Order

Mystery of March 11 Order

From Media Indonesia

The March 11 Order is now 34 years old. This document is
questionable and full of mystery. So far, scholars have been
unable to unveil the mystery shrouding both the existence and
wording of the March 11 Order. Discussions and seminars have been
held, yet the truth of the document remains a mystery.

The March 11 Order is indeed a heritage of the past. Asvi
Warman Adam (a researcher at the Indonesian Institution of
Sciences) once stated, "Control (knowledge) of past events can
control the present". So to have a knowledge of the past is not
just for the sake of the past, but for the sake of determining
the present.

The question now is, will the issue of the March 11 Order be
left unsolved, leaving younger generations in the dark about our
history? The mystery must be unraveled, because history should
never be false. Therefore, we are obliged to learn the truth to
prevent younger generations from being deceived.
