The preamble to the 1945 Constitution covers several matters related to Indonesian independence. Starting from the reasons for independence, the struggle for independence, to the declaration of independence for the Indonesian people.

The 1945 Constitution is the first constitution of the Republic of Indonesia which was implemented after the Proclamation of Independence. The Proclamation of Independence and the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution are two interrelated things. The proclamation echoed on August 17, 1945 is a statement or announcement to the international world on the independence of the Indonesian nation.

In the text of the Proclamation there are two main things, namely the statement of Indonesia's independence and the things that must be carried out in relation to the declaration of independence, quoted from Module 8: Meaning of the Constitution compiled by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek).

The declaration of independence for the Indonesian people is contained in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution in the third paragraph. The statement reads "By the grace of Allah the Almighty and with the encouragement of a noble desire, to live a free national life, the Indonesian people hereby declare their independence."

Before declaring independence as stated in the third paragraph, the Indonesian people also explained the reasons and struggles for achieving independence. The reasons for independence are listed in the first paragraph which explains that independence is the right of all nations. For that, colonialism must be abolished.

The following reads the first paragraph: "Indeed, independence is the right of all nations and because of that, colonialism in the world must be abolished, because it is not in accordance with humanity and justice."

Then, after explaining the basis or reasons for independence, the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution also contains the struggle of the Indonesian people to achieve independence as stated in the second paragraph.

The following is the second paragraph: "And the struggle for the Indonesian independence movement has come to a happy moment and safely delivered the people of Indonesia to the front gate of the independence of the State of Indonesia, which is independent, united, sovereign, just and prosperous."

Meanwhile, in the fourth paragraph, the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution contains the basics of the state and the purpose of the establishment of the state. The basis of the Indonesian state is Pancasila.

Sounds of the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution

The preamble to the 1945 Constitution is permanent, namely as the fundamental principle of the state of the Republic of Indonesia. The preamble cannot be changed and replaced by anyone including the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) from the results of the general election.

The main idea contained in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution is essentially Pancasila which is then described in the articles or body of the 1945 Constitution. The following reads the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution:

BASIC LAW OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA YEAR 1945

OPENING

( P r e a m b u l e )

That in fact Independence is the right of all nations and because of that, colonialism in the world must be abolished, because it is not in accordance with humanity and justice.

And the struggle for the Indonesian independence movement has come to a happy moment and safely and forever bringing the Indonesian people to the front gate of the independence of the Indonesian State, which is independent, united, sovereign, just and prosperous.

By the grace of Allah the Almighty and motivated by a noble desire to live a free national life, the Indonesian people hereby declare their independence.

Then from that to form a Government of the State of Indonesia that protects the entire Indonesian nation and the entire homeland of Indonesia and to promote public welfare, educate the nation's life, and participate in carrying out world order based on independence, eternal peace and social justice, the Indonesian National Independence was drawn up. in a Constitution of the State of Indonesia, which is formed in an arrangement of the Republic of Indonesia which is sovereign by the people based on One Godhead, just and civilized Humanity, Indonesian Unity and Democracy led by wisdom in Deliberation/Representation, as well as by realize a social justice for all Indonesian people.

This is how PSG lived the hours before his debut

With images of the flight, the arrival in Bruges, the press conference and the training of the squad, the social networks of the Parisian club show all the intimacy of the team in the hours before its presentation for the Champions League.

Messi-Neymar-Mbappé

Mauricio Pochettino spoke in the Brujas-PSG preview and left several concepts about the game this afternoon, the number of figures in the squad and the “rival to beat” in this edition of the Champions League. While the megalomania is borne by the Qatari state with its economic respirator, Pochettino does not get out of his mind: “We are not yet a consolidated team. It takes work to match what Chelsea did. " The Murphy-born technical director admitted that he faces a great responsibility in a privileged situation: “In the twelve years that I have been training this is the most favorable situation; in other teams he didn't have as many options. With these players I am not going to complain about what I have ”. This allows Pochettino not to have to mourn much for the absence of Ángel Di María, suspended for three games. Neither will Marco Verratti be injured, so Leandro Paredes could be the starter. “It is possible that we put Messi, Mbappé and Neymar. We have to evaluate it, ”he said.

Bruges Formations - PSG

In the absence of confirmations, these are the probable formations for this afternoon. Paris Saint-Germain: Keylor Navas or Gianluigi Donnarumma; Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe and Abdou Diallo; Ander Herrera or Leandro Paredes, Danilo Pereira and Georginio Wijnaldum; Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar. And Bruges: Simon Mignolet; Clinton Mata, Brandon Mechele, Stanley Nsoki, and Eduard Sobol; Hans Vanaken, Mats Rits and Ruud Vormer; Noa Lang, Kamal Sowah, and Charles De Ketelaere.

Sugapa Airport is one of the airports in Papua which is located on the edge of a cliff with a runway of only 600 meters. Because of that, only small aircraft can land at that location.

Intan Jaya Police Chief AKBP Sandi Sultan said there were three crew members on the plane. They are Mirza as pilot, Fajar as Copilot, and Iswahyudi as technician.

"They only carry cargo of building materials," Sandi told reporters, Wednesday, September 15, 2021.

He said the mobile phone of the pilot who was carrying the plane was still active, but when he called it was not answered.

"The pilot's cellphone is still active, it's just that the call is not picked up. Hopefully the pilot and crew are still alive, that's our hope," said Sandi.

The Rimbun Air PK OTW plane that had lost contact in the Sugapa District, Intan Jaya Regency, Papua, has been found in a destroyed condition.

Based on helicopter observations, the head of the plane looks the most destroyed and the chances of the crew surviving are very small.

"It has been found at an altitude of 2,400 meters, the distance is 5-6 km from Bilogai Airport in the direction of Homeyo District," continued Sandi.

The evacuation process, continued Sandi, will be carried out by land.

To anticipate disturbances from armed criminal groups (KKB) in the area, the security forces will be accompanied by local community and religious leaders.

Rimbun Air has the full name PT. The Eternal Lush of Aviation. The airline is under the parent company PT Menara Grand Papua and was established in 2018.

"PT Rimbun Badi Aviasi was established in 2018 to meet the growing demand for STOL aircraft in Indonesia," reads a statement on its official website.

Rimbun Air serves passengers with a fleet of Boeing 737 Freighters and DHC 6 – 400 Twin Otters.

Megawati Sukarnoputri Profile

2021-09-12T22:16:00.015-07:00

Prof. Dr. (H.C.) Hj. Dyah Permata Megawati Setyawati Soekarnoputri or commonly known as Megawati Soekarnoputri or commonly called "Mbak Mega" (born 23 January 1947) is the fifth President of Indonesia who served from 23 July 2001 to 20 October 2004. daughter of the first president of Indonesia, Soekarno, who later followed in his father's footsteps to become President of Indonesia. On 20 September 2004, he lost votes to Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in the second round of the 2004 Presidential Election.

He became president after the MPR held an MPR Special Session in 2001. This MPR Special Session was held in response to President Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur)'s move to freeze the MPR/DPR institutions and the Golkar Party. He was sworn in on 23 July 2001. Previously from 1999–2001, he served as Vice President in the government of President Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur).

Megawati is also the general chairman of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) since splitting from the Indonesian Democratic Party in 1999.

Early Life

Megawati Soekarnoputri was the second child of President Soekarno who had proclaimed Indonesia's independence on August 17, 1945. Megawati's mother, Fatmawati, was a girl born in Bengkulu where Soekarno had previously been exiled during the Dutch colonial period. He was born during the Dutch Military Aggression. When Soekarno was exiled to the island of Bangka, Fatmawati gave birth to a baby, named Megawati Soekarno Putri, on January 23, 1947 in the village of Ledok Ratmakan, west bank of the Code River. After Indonesia's independence, Megawati was raised at the Merdeka Palace.

He had studied at Padjadjaran University in Bandung (not to graduate) in agriculture, as well as having studied at the Faculty of Psychology, University of Indonesia (also not graduated).

Household trip

Megawati Soekarnoputri's political career, which is full of twists and turns and colors, seems to be in line with the life story of her household journey, which has experienced failure.

Her first husband was First Lieutenant (avier) Surindro Supjarso, an Air Force pilot and first officer in the Indonesian National Army Air Force (TNI-AU) of the Republic of Indonesia. Surindro is tall and tall, has a handsome face with a crested hair style, among his colleagues he is often called "Pacul". Surindro is a close friend of Guntur Soekarnoputra, Megawati's older brother. It is said that it was said that it was Guntur who matched Mega with Surindro. They were married on Saturday, June 1, 1968 at Jalan Sriwijaya Number 7, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta.

After that, Megawati then followed her husband, Surindro, to live in Madiun, East Java. There she became a housewife and took care of her first child, Mohammad Rizki Pratama. When Mega was pregnant with her second child (Mohammad Prananda Prabowo), Surindro had a plane crash that took his life. The Skyvan T-701 aircraft that he was controlling crashed into the sea around the waters of the island of Biak, Irian Jaya, on January 22, 1970. Surindro and seven crew members of the plane disappeared, the jungle was unknown and only fragments of the plane's body debris were found scattered in the sea around those waters. Mega was afflicted with deep sorrow, she also mourned for a long time.

A few years later, in 1972, at that time Megawati was still in her early twenties with two children who were still toddlers, she then rekindled her love affair with a man who is said to be a businessman from Egypt, who is also an Egyptian diplomat. who at that time was on duty in Jakarta, whose name was Hassan Gamal Ahmad Hasan. However, Megawati's second marriage did not last long, only lasted three months, because Megawati's marriage to Hassan (Mega's second husband) was in the spotlight of the mass media on the grounds that at that time Megawati was still bound by a legal marriage to Surindro, her first husband and at that time Megawati was still married. there is no definite decision from the government, in this case the TNI-AU Headquarters, regarding the fate of her first husband whose body has not been found until now. Bung Karno's family did not remain silent, they then hired a lawyer, his name was Sumadji, to annul Mega's controversial second marriage through a decision by the Jakarta High Religious Court, Hassan finally relented and gave in. From her marriage to her second husband, which failed, Megawati has no children.

The happiness and peace of Megawati Soekarnoputri's household life was truly established and felt after she married Moh. Taufiq Kiemas, a fellow activist in the former Indonesian National Student Movement (GMNI), who was also one of the movers of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P). Mega's third husband, Taufiq Kiemas, besides being active in GMNI, he also joined the "Inti Pembina Jiwa Revolusi", an organization that upholds the teachings of "Soekarno". Taufiq Kiemas, whom Guntur nicknamed "the Caucasians", married Mega at the end of March 1973. Their wedding ceremony took place simply at the "Panti Perwira", Central Jakarta. From this couple, Puan Maharani was born, who is the third child of Megawati Soekarnoputri and is the only child of Taufiq Kiemas.

Political Career

His father's political footprint had a strong influence on Megawati Soekarnoputri. Because since a student, while studying at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Pajajaran, he was always active in the Indonesian National Student Movement (GMNI).

1986

Megawati when she became a member of the People's Representative Council in 1987

In 1986 he began to enter politics, as deputy chairman of the PDI Central Jakarta Branch. His political career is quite fast. Mega only took one year to become a member of the DPR RI.

1993

In the PDI Extraordinary Congress held in Surabaya 1993, Megawati was elected by acclamation as the General Chair of the PDI.

1996

However, the government was not satisfied with Mega's election as PDI General Chair. Mega was also ousted at the PDI Congress in Medan in 1996, which elected Soerjadi as PDI General Chair.

Mega did not accept his removal and did not recognize the Medan Congress. He still feels that he is the legitimate chairman of the PDI. Mega's office and equipment are also controlled by Mega. Mega does not want to take a single step back. They are still trying to maintain the office of the PDI DPP. However, Soerjadi, who was supported by the government, threatened to forcibly seize the PDI DPP office located on Jalan Diponegoro.

Soerjadi's threat later became a reality. On 27 July 1996 Soerjadi's group actually seized the PDI DPP office from Megawati's supporters. The attack, which killed tens of Megawati's supporters, resulted in mass riots in Jakarta known as the 27 July Incident. The riots also made several activists languishing in prison.

The incident of the attack on the PDI DPP office did not dampen Mega's steps. In fact, he is increasingly determined to raise the fight. He chose the legal route, although it later ran aground in court. Mega still doesn't stop. Inevitably, the PDI was separated into the PDI under Soerjadi and the PDI led by Mega. The government recognized Soerjadi as the legitimate chairman of the PDI. However, the PDI masses favored Mega.

1997

The partiality of the PDI masses to Mega was increasingly evident in the 1997 elections. PDI's vote share under Soerjadi fell sharply. Some of Mega's masses sided with the United Development Party, which later gave birth to the term "Mega Bintang". Mega himself chose abstention at that time.

1999

Megawati's official photo as Vice President.

In the 1999 election, PDI Mega, which changed its name to PDI-P, won the election. Although not a landslide victory, but he managed to get more than thirty percent of the vote. The masses of his supporters forced Mega to become president. They threatened that if Mega did not become president there would be a revolution.

However, the line that developed in the 1999 General Assembly said otherwise, and chose KH Abdurrahman Wahid as President. He narrowly lost in the presidential election voting 373 to 313 votes.

2001
Inauguration of President Megawati Soekarnoputri in 2001.

MPR chairman Amien Rais congratulated Megawati on her appointment as president.

However, time also sided with Megawati Sukarnoputri. He did not have to wait five years to replace President Abdurrahman Wahid, after the 1999 General Assembly thwarted him from becoming President. The MPR Special Session, Monday (23/7/2001) at 09.30 WIB, has upgraded his status to President, after President Abdurrahman Wahid was revoked by the MPR RI.

2004

Megawati's reign was marked by the strengthening of the consolidation of democracy in Indonesia. During her reign, direct presidential elections were held and are generally considered to be one of the successes of the democratization process in Indonesia. He lost (40% - 60%) in the 2004 presidential election and had to hand over the milestone of the presidency to Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the former Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs during his reign.

2014

Megawati and PDI-P appointed Joko Widodo to run in the 2014 Indonesian presidential election. Finally, through a long election process, Joko Widodo and Jusuf Kalla were elected President and Vice President for the 2014 - 2019 period.

At the PDI-P IV National Working Meeting (Rakernas), Semarang, Central Java, 20 September 2014, Megawati was reappointed to be the General Chair of the PDI-P for the 2015-2020 period.

Orangutan Feeding Centre

2014-01-12T18:31:00.002-08:00

Indonesia Travel
Bukit Lawang's famous orangutan centre was set up in 1973 to help primates readjust to the wild after captivity or displacement through land clearing. Many of the original duties of the centre have been moved to more remote locations, but twice-daily feedings are still provided to semidependent orangutans. These events are open to the public (no guide required) and provide one of the closest views of the forest ape outside the confines of a zoo.

During the centre's decades-long operation, it has introduced 200 orangutans into the jungle. Many of them had been kept as caged pets; the centre taught them how to forage for food in the wild, build nests, climb trees and other essentials for survival after release. The orangutans are also treated for diseases that they contracted during contact with humans. Today around 16 orangutang live in the vicinity of Bukit Lawang.

Once the apes are on their own in the wild, the centre still provides supplementary feedings in case of awkward transitions or demanding circumstances. These feedings consist of milk and bananas and are considered a fairly bland diet compared to the diversity of food found in the forest. The semiwild apes who appear at the centre's 'welfare' platform are typically nursing or pregnant females in need of an extra source of nutrition.

There are two feeding times a day: 8.30am to 9.30am and 3pm to 4pm. These are the only times visitors are allowed to enter the national park without a guide.

The feeding platform is located on the west bank of Sungai Bohorok within the park boundaries, about a 20-minute walk from the village. The river crossing to the park office is made by dugout canoe. Permits are required to enter the park (20,000Rp). Technically these are only available from the Bukit Lawang Visitors Centre in the village proper, not the office at the foot of the trail to the platform. In reality it’s often possible to buy a ticket from the park office and either way you’ll need to show a ticket here in order to be allowed to continue to the feeding platform. If you’re heading out on a trek afterwards, your guide will normally get you a ticket beforehand, which you can use to visit the feeding platform as well. If you have a camera/video camera you'll have to pay an additional 50,000/150,000Rp at the office, with no refunds if orangutans don't come to the feeding platform – during peak fruit season they often don't. Get to the river crossing around 30 minutes before the scheduled feeding time as it can take a while to ferry everyone across.

Since 1996 the centre has been closed to new arrivals, as the park is considered to be saturated with orangutans. A replacement quarantine centre, just outside Medan, opened in 2002 to carry on the rehabilitation efforts, but it is not open to the public.

WAKATOBI National Marine Park: the”Underwater Nirwana”

2014-01-09T19:41:00.002-08:00

Indonesia Travel
Legendary underwater explorer and conservationist, Jacques Cousteau is said to have called the Wakatobi islands – then known as the Tukangbesi islands: an “Underwater Nirwana”

Now a National Marine Park covering the entire Waktobi District, it comprises a total of 1.4 million hectares, of which 900,000 hectares are decorated with different, colourful species of tropical coral reefs. For Wakatobi is widely recognized as having the highest number of reef and fish species in the world. The islands are also famous as the largest barrier reef in Indonesia, second only to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Here can be found fringing, atolls and barrier reefs and offer more than 50 spectacular dive sites easily accessible from the major islands. This is the habitat of large and small fish species, the playground of dolphins, turtles and even whales.

The island group comprises 143 larger and smaller islands where only 7 are inhabited counting a total population of around 100,000, while the others remain uninhabited. Most notable are the Bajo communities, the seafaring nomads who inhabit many of Indonesia’s remote islands.

Located right in the heart of the Asia-Pacific Coral Triangle, in the province of South East Sulawesi, the Wakatobi Islands offer crystal clear pristine waters and a rich bio-diverse underwater life, a true paradise for Divers, as this is one of 3 hearts in the World Coral Triangle that stretches from the Solomon Islands in the Pacific to Wakatobi, and North to the Philippines. Wakatobi alone is said to have 942 fish species and 750 coral reef species from a total of 850 of world's collection, which, comparing with the two world's famous diving centers, the Caribbean Sea owns only 50 species with 300 coral reef species in the Red Sea, in Egypt.

Situated at the end of the south eastern “petal’ of the orchid shaped island of Sulawesi and separated by the deep Banda Sea to its north and east and the Flores sea to its south, the name Wakatobi is in fact an acronym of its four main islands, which are : Wangi-wangi (WA), Kaledupa (KA), Tomia (TO) and Binongko (BI).

Due to its magnificent underwater life, Wakatobi is fast gaining worldwide attention for its quality dives that can be made by beginners to professionals. Small wonder, therefore, that many liveaboards make this one of their main ports of sojourn. Aside from its dive sites, Wakatobi has many superb beaches.

The conservation group “Operation Wallacea” is very active in this marine park, conducting underwater research and conservation. During the Sail Wakatobi 2011 in August, the Marine Laboratory on Hoga Beach by Kaledupa is to be officially inaugurated. (For information visit: www.opwall.com)

The District capital of Wakatobi is Wanci on Wangi-Wangi. Since the opening of the Matohara Airport on Wangi-Wangi, these remote islands are now more accessible and can be reached by flights from Jakarta or Makassar. There is also another landing strip on Tomia island, which receives charters from Bali.
