President Jokowi's Letter, WE Asked The G30S / PKI Film To Be Shown On TVRI

OUR open letter to President Joko Widodo

JAKARTA - The Coalition for Action to Save Indonesia (US) delivered an open letter to President Joko Widodo. In this open letter, WE asked President Joko Widodo to take serious action against the emergence of symptoms of the rise of neo-communism and a new style of PKI.

As a reminder of the dark history, WE asked President Jokowi to order government agencies and public broadcasting institutions, especially state-owned public broadcasters, to screen the G30S / PKI films.

"WE and believe that many Indonesian people support suing President Jokowi according to his authority call on government agencies and public broadcasting institutions, especially TVRI to regret the film Pengkhianatan G30-S / PKI and / or similar films so that people understand the black spots in history Indonesian nationality, "they demanded in an open letter quoted on Thursday, September 24.

This letter was signed by former TNI Commander Gatot Nurmantyo, Rochmat Wahab, and Din Syamsuddin who named the US Presidium. They also demanded that history lessons explaining the black stain should not be reduced or removed.

"Remember Bung Karno's message. Red Coat, never forget history," they said.

In addition, WE also ask the public to raise the flag at half-mast on September 30. This is to commemorate the crimes that the PKI has committed and to raise the red and white flag on October 1 to welcome the Pancasila Miracle Day.

A glimpse of the film Pengkhianatan G30-S / PKI, a film directed by Arifin C. Noer and produced by G. Dwipayana was released commercially in 1984. This film, was produced with a budget of up to Rp. 800 million. During the leadership of President Soeharto, films became mandatory viewing for students in Indonesian schools. However, this obligation was abolished since the fall of Soeharto in 1998.

Previously, in the same letter, WE mentioned that the signs of the revival of neo-communism and the new-style PKI were already visible. One of them is the entry of PKI descendants in legislative circles. This should be watched out for by the current government led by President Jokowi.

"Such a thing is no longer a myth or a fiction, but has become evidence. The offspring of the communists have already infiltrated the legislative and executive circles," was quoted as saying in an open letter.

In fact, WE accused them of reversing historical facts, namely positioning the PKI as victims. They seem to cover up the facts of the past incident, namely the massacre carried out by the PKI.

"They turned a blind eye to historical facts, that it was the Communists who first slaughtered the ulama and santri, attacked the Indonesian Islamic Students (PII) training, the Islamic Student Association (HMI), GP Ansor, and the PKI's unilateral actions against farmers. also want to deny the historical fact that it was the Communists who massacred the TNI Generals, "he continued.
