August 17th marks the anniversary of Indonesia’s Declaration of Independence from the
Netherlands in 1945. This important event is celebrated across the country with the raising of the red
and white national flag, the “Sang Saka Merah Putih,” and the singing of the national anthem
“Indonesia Raya.”
The draft was prepared only a few hours earlier, on the night of 16 August, by Sukarno, Hatta,
and Soebardjo, at the house of Rear-Admiral Tadashi Maeda, Miyako-Doori 1, Jakarta (now
the Formulation of Proclamation Text Museum, Jl. Imam Bonjol No. 1, Jakarta). Aside from the three
Indonesian leaders and Admiral Maeda, three Japanese agents were also present at the
drafting: Tomegoro Yoshizumi (of the Navy Communications Office Kaigun Bukanfu), Shigetada
Nishijima, and Miyoshi (of the Imperial Japanese Army). The original Indonesian Declaration of
Independence was typed by Sayuti Melik. Maeda himself was sleeping in his room upstairs. He was
agreeable to the idea of Indonesia's independence, and had lent his house for the drafting of the
declaration.
The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence (Indonesian: Proklamasi Kemerdekaan
Indonesia, or simply Proklamasi) was read at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, 17 August 1945. The declaration
marked the start of the diplomatic and armed resistance of the Indonesian National Revolution, fighting
against the forces of the Netherlands and pro-Dutch civilians, until the latter officially acknowledged
Indonesia's independence in 1949. In 2005, the Netherlands declared that they had decided to accept de
facto 17 August 1945 as Indonesia's independence date. On September 14, 2011 a Dutch court ruled in
the Rawagede massacre case that the Dutch state was responsible because it has the duty to defend its
inhabitants, which also indicated that the area was part of the Dutch East Indies in contradiction of the
Indonesian claim of 17 August 1945 as its date of independence. In a 2013 interview the Indonesian
historian Sukotjo, amongst others, asked the Dutch government to formally acknowledge the date of
independence as 17 August 1945. The United Nations recognizes the date of December 27, 1949.The
document was signed by Sukarno (who signed his name "Soekarno" using the older Dutch
orthography) and Mohammad Hatta, who were appointed president and vice-president respectively the
following day.
The proclamation at 56, Jalan Pegangsaan Timur, Jakarta, was heard throughout the country
because the text was secretly broadcast by Indonesian radio personnel using the transmitters of the
Jakarta Hoso Kyoku radio station. An English translation of the proclamation was broadcast overseas.
16. The historical background of the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was to....
A. disagree colonialism among the countries over the world
B. end up other nation’s colonialism, and people’s suffering and poverty
C. withdraw the conclusion of Indonesian’s colonialism history
D. ally among Indonesia's peoples to attack the Dutch’s invasion
E. declare the importance of freedom and state as a nation

Being a teacher is a tough job anywhere, but it seems especially hard in Indonesia. We have
seen quite a few stories about students attacking teachers, as well as teachers abusing students, all of
which seem indicative of a larger culture of disrespect and violence within the country’s schools.
That culture was once again thrust into the spotlight recently when a video of students at a
school in Central Java harassing and bullying their teacher went viral and made national headlines over
the weekend.
Whether or not that is actually the case or simply an attempt by the school’s principal to save
face is hard to say. But Muhaidin did admit that even if what they were doing was just joking around, it
was beyond what was reasonable and said the students would be disciplined in some way and their
parents would be involved.
While stories about Indonesian students disrespecting and even attacking their teachers are
disturbing, on balance we’ve probably seen more stories about teachers forcing awful punishments on
their students such as the elementary school kids who were recently punished for smoking by being
forced to smoke more and the teacher who forced one of her students to lick a disgusting toilet because
they didn’t do their homework. Clearly there is something seriously needs to be done to reform the
culture of discipline at a lot of Indonesian schools.
But, I believe that we have same perception that juvenile delinquency is our problem, starting
from students, teachers, parents, society and also government. Certainly, it could be solved if only
those components give high participation and responsibilities in it. We do hope there won’t be another
victim anymore.
34. Muhaidin did admit that ... what they were doing was just joking around.
A. but
B. and
C. although
D. however
