Historical Recount
The Supersemar, the Indonesian abbreviation for “Surat Perintah Sebelas Maret” ( Order of March the Eleventh), was a document signed by the Indonesian President Sukarno on 11 March 1966. It is said that it was giving the army commander Lt. General Soeharto authority to take whatever measures he ”deemed necessary” to restore order to the chaotic situation during the Indonesian killings of 1965-1966. The abbreviation of “Supersemar” is a play on the name of Semar, the mystic and powerful figure who commonly appears in Javanese mythology including wayang puppet shows. The invocation of Semar was presumably intended to help draw on Javanese mythology to lend support to Soeharto’s legitimacy during the period of the transition of authority from Soekarno to Soeharto.

The Youth Pledge .
The Youth Pledge on 28 October 1928 was a declaration made by young Indonesian nationalists. This declaration was proclaimed in the Second Youth Congress. There are three points covered in the declaration, which are one motherland, one nation and one language. The first Indonesia Youth Congress was held in 1926. It was held in Batavia, which was the capital of the Dutch East Indies. In the first congress, there were no formal decisions made but it promoted the idea of a united country. The second congress was held in October 1928. This congress was held at three locations. The first session was held to inspire the feeling of unity. The second session discussed about education and the third or the final session participants heard for the first time Indonesia national anthem created by Wage Rudolf Supratman. The third session closed with a youth pledge reading. At that time, the Youth Pledge was used for boosting the Indonesia army’s spirit. With the unity of the young nationalists, the Indonesian independence fighters got more motivation to fight against the colonialists. Up to today, the date when the youth pledge was made is still remembered and celebrated. Many historians said that the Youth Pledge and the youth congress are one of the most important moments for Indonesia.
