There was no coup d’état on September 30. Or on October 1, 1965. What happened was more confusing than that—and still, there is no fitting word to name it. But after that day, the Indonesian Communist Party collapsed.
LAST week, the film Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI (The Treachery of the Communist Party 30 September Movement) was shown throughout Indonesia.
THE restructuring of Asuransi Jiwa Bersama Bumiputera 1912 has yet to happen. In fact, the state of finances of this, the oldest insurance company in Indonesia, is very worrying. As of the end of last year, Bumiputera's assets were worth just Rp15 trillion, half of the company's liabilities of Rp30 trillion. That is why the Financial Services Authority [OJK] completely reworked the management of Asuransi Jiwa Bersama Bumiputera 1912 in the middle of last month. It then appointed a number of people as statutory managers. Their job: to source fresh capital to inject. "We must protect the fates of our 6.7 million policy-holders," the OJK Deputy Chief Supervisory Commissioner II for the Non-Bank Financial Industry, Dumoly F. Pardede, told Tempo Ayu Prima Sandi by telephone last week.
On what basis did the OJK say Bumiputera is unhealthy?
In the last five years, its claims have risen very significantly, while the income from premiums did not match that. In the end, over the past five years, the management sold off assets to cover claims. If they had waited until next year, its risk-based capital (a ratio for measuring financial health) could go awry. We had to take over Bumiputera through statutory means to source new investors.
It began as the brainchild of a student communication forum. Today, Working Group (Pokja) 30 has grown into a respected anti-graft organization in East Kalimantan. Activist members of the group choose to operate from a humble house on Jalan Danau Maninjau in Samarinda.
Participant of the G30S incident, air force Lt. Col. Heru Atmodjo passed away. He denied allegations of the Indonesian Air Force special intelligence operations.
He appeared suddenly, with no discernible origin. Not many recognize the name Sjam Kamaruzaman. He made his first public appearance two years after the bloody events of the September 30 Movement (G30S). At that time, in July 1967, he was a witness in the trial of Sudisman, Secretary-General of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI).
Previously he was more of a myth. His existence was only half-believed. The Special Bureau, the secret PKI body which he led, was initially thought to be just military propaganda to make it easier for Suharto to get rid of the PKI.
However, Sjam corroborated all charges. He said that he led the Special Bureau and made the secret plans for the G30S. He said that he intended to kidnap former Vice President Mohammad Hatta and 3rd Deputy Prime Minister Chairul Saleh, in addition to seven generals, on that bloody morning.
As someone who was tasked with influencing members of the Indonesian Military to support the PKI, he had access to military institutions. In prison, while other political detainees shuddered in fear before each questioning, Sjam would face it with a smile.
His relationship with the military was indeed like that of an “old friend.” His son recalls how, in prison, Sjam stayed in a large cell and was allowed to have a bag full of money to pay for his needs.
He was like an agent in a Hollywood movie. His children only knew their father as a businessman. He owned a roof tile factory and repair shop, and sold limestone. His wife, a worker activist at Tanjung Priok Port and administrator of the Indonesian Farmers Front, an organization under the PKI, was asked to stop working in order to protect his cover.
Who was Sjam, a man with five aliases? Who was this native of Tuban, East Java, who was an atheist yet known to be good at reciting verses from the Qur’an? Was he a double agent or just a loyal follower of PKI Chairman D.N. Aidit?
The G30S tragedy is a mystery whose secrets have never been fully uncovered. Sjam Kamaruzaman is an important figure in the chaos which is thought to have taken the lives of at least 2 million people.
According to some historical testimony, Aidit knew about the September 30 Movement. Just how involved was he?

SAIDAH could not be happier. A short video that she shot with a camera borrowed from a neighbor has brought her to Jakarta in October. She had never traveled by plane before, let alone visited the capital city.
The 24-year-old recalled how she used the loaned camera to film her friend, a fisherwoman named Nurlina. Saidah wanted to document Nurlina's daily activities, so she had to brace the sea off Sabangko Island in Pangkajene Regency, South Sulawesi, where they both live.
Merty Katulung has grown so accustomed to the incessant roaring from the excavators that he has no trouble sleeping through the noise. His house at Kahuhu village, East Likupang District in North Minahasa, North Sulawesi, is just 300 meters away from the land controlled by mining company Mikgro Metal Perdana. However, he has heard no loud noises in the past three weeks. "Before they worked round the clock," he said last Thursday.
The company's mining operations on Bangka Island off the North Sulawesi mainland were suspended amid prolonged discord between Mikgro and Kahuku residents. Around mid-August, the Supreme Court ordered the government to revoke the company's operation permit, prompting Kahuku village chief Imanuel Kolang Tinungki to declare its activities illegal. The ruling was the result of a lawsuit against Mikgro filed at the Jakarta State Administrative Court by the people of Bangka in October 2014.
Bangka Regent Tarmizi will not budge from his position that driving Ahmadis out of his region is key to restoring peace and stability. He also refused to take responsibility for their safety if they failed to do so. "We have asked them nicely to relocate," he said last Wednesday.
Tarmizi, previously the secretary of Bangka region, claimed that there were already four fatwas that branded Ahmadis as heretics. Their presence, he said, could "weaken Muslim conviction," adding that the local community would never accept them. "It's not the end of the world for them to move," he grumbled.
