Thank you, User:65.71.169.191

I'd just like to thank the person behind this IP address for creation of this page. I apologize if it seems that I steamrolled your original article, but I had intended to create this page primarily for the purpose of transplanting text from Suharto (which is suffering from bloat).

I am looking forward to adding links to what you have written into this page, especially Discriminatory law against Indonesian Chinese and others.

By the way, by all means I encourage you to register so that you get full privileges as an editor of Wikipedia! --Daniel 08:59, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

CIA involvement

Why does this article not mention CIA involvement in the coup that put the New Order into power? See the documentary "Shadow Play" by PBS for more info.

I agree, as most wiki admins would be able to tell from my latest postings / contributions. This is a crucial issue, in the whole debate on the background and what actually happened before,during and after "the New Order" had come into place. I don't know how short a discussion on this should be to comply with wiki admins sense of how a serious historical debate should be conducted. I only feel that I've been posting enough serious sources,with background, referencing, historians, documentaries, investigations,south-east asian human rights organisations etc. etc. to warrant a discussion and some serious debate.

For those individuals at all seriously and actually interested in a real investigation into the history of Indonesia and the contentious issues, links can be found in the archives of talk/discussion pages of History of Indonesia, in the bottom footnotes /links on the main Indonesia page, as well as in the links on the history of Indonesia.

I'm not yet well enough versed in the wiki HTML-style notation, so I was hoping more people would join in after they had verified or refuted my sources and claims. Thanks again for coming forward with your request. Sincerely, John Smith (nom de guerre) 10:48, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

John. you should try adding this stuff yourself. It doesn't have to be 100% perfect straight away, (or even 50%!!!). Just add a bit here, and a bit there. If you get formatting wrong, it will be picked up. Remember though, although of course you can express point of views, express them as a POV and not as fact. yes, of course, many eds don't follow this - as is probably the case in this article already - but we should all do our bit. ALTERNATIVELY, if you are not quite bold enough, why not try adding a section in your sandbox - it's easy. And then you can request others review and advise.--Merbabu 11:00, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rise of Islamism

Just a suggestion, but you might want to fix the Rise of Islamism part. I don't think there was no chance of Indonesia being Islamist under Suharto until the early 90's with the formation of ICMI. Apart from that, Muslims are supressed. Eg. 1984 Tanjung Priok incident.

Former dictatorships category

I removed this categorization as besides being a violation of NWikipedia:Neutral point of view, it doesn't even agree with the definition in the Dictatorship article, namely "an autocratic form of absolute rule by leadership unrestricted by law, constitutions, or other social and political factors within the state". Arguably the New Order was an autocracy: "a form of government in which the political power is held by a single self-appointed ruler". Davidelit (talk) 05:31, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nicely put. Certainly a WP:NPOV issue. Categories can be very in this manner. Don't cater for any nuance or anythign but the most simplistic (yes or no) cases. --Merbabu (talk) 06:07, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

POV/OR tag...

An OR tag and two cite requests were added here at the same time. I've addressed the cite requests [1]. There is no further explanation, thus I will remove the OR tag. In future, I hope editors are able to provide more actionable feedback than a section or article tag - I suggest using talk page, or adding specific cite requests. regards --Merbabu (talk) 11:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Barry Soetoro

He was in Indonesia from 1967 to 1971 as a kid (otherwise he was a Hawaiian). I wonder how the New Order affected his childhood, if it did in any way. — Rickyrab | Talk 07:48, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Err. He would have been 6 when he arrived and 10 when he left. Presumably his engagement in the opposition to the military government was fairly limited. Or was this a serious question? :-) Davidelit (talk) 08:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the term

Has anyone read anything about the origin of the term "Orde Baru"? When was it first used? I feel like that would be a valuable addition. Arsonal (talk) 17:03, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about this article. Not exactly a good precedent... Davidelit (Talk)

Clearly (he peacocked) it was used to distinguish the Suharto regime from the Old Order of Sukarno, possibly with an eye on the western media - hence the use of the faux Indonesian "orde". Perhaps it was analogous to the use of the contrived acronym "Gestapu" for the 30 September Movement to sound like Gestapo. If so, it looks like a misjudgment. If Suharto and his cronies had done their research, they would have found this quote from Franklin Roosevelt: "They (who) seek to establish systems of government based on the regimentation of all human beings by a handful of individual rulers. . . call this a new order. It is not new and it is not order." Davidelit (Talk) 17:18, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually wondering if Suharto himself proclaimed Orde Baru (and perhaps simultaneously called Sukarno's presidency Orde Lama) in some speech, as opposed to the historical origins of the term. Arsonal (talk) 18:34, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The best I have been able to find is in Friend, T. (2003). Indonesian Destinies. Harvard University Press. ISBN 0-674-01137-6. On page 122, he says that at an Army-sponsored seminar in August 1966 known as the Second Army Seminar, to decide on plans for economic stability, "For working clarity, the seminar adopted the terms [sic] "Old Order" for pre-G30S. A "New Order" was the goal of those who wanted a political and economic democracy based on the constitution of 1945 and expressed in Pancasila..." Sundhaussen (1982) says the seminar occurred, but does not mention that it gave rise to "New Order". I can't find any mention of the seminar in Crouch's The Army and Politics... or 30 Tahun Indonesia Merdeka. I'll see if I can dig anything else up.

Why the infobox was removed?

The Pinochet dictatorship and History of the Philippines (1965–1986) pages both cover regimes and not countries; and both of them have country infoboxes. Why should the infobox on this page be removed? Gibranalnn (talk) 01:34, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious as well. I'm not even a big fan of infoboxes but I'm not sure I understand the rationale here.--Dan Carkner (talk) 02:50, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since the person who made the edit has not engaged with discussion about it nor did they explain themselves clearly, I have restored it for now. Open to a clear explanation of why it should be removed.--Dan Carkner (talk) 15:35, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What's the problem with the edit summary Removing inappropriate Former country infobox. The New Order was a regime, not a country - is there something in that that is not self evident? JarrahTree 03:42, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since you seem to get it, care to explain?Dan Carkner (talk) 17:53, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delayed reply - I have been busy with other things. I removed the "Former country" inbox because it is not appropriate here. The New Order refers to the period of time when Indonesia was run by an authoritarian government. It was not a different country - it was the same country as existed before and that still exists today. Regards Davidelit (Talk) 08:10, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see the box was just a country infobox and gave information about names and dates in Indonesian politics. I don't get what the problem is having this on an article about a subtopic of Indonesian politics. It could give context to an uninformed reader.Dan Carkner (talk) 14:39, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I take your point, but many of the parameters in it make no sense in this context. What was the area of the New Order? Also, it did not subsequently become a part of Indonesia. Once the less logical parameters have been removed - including the ISO 3166 code, which is only useful for those wanting to telephone the New Order - then it seems pointless having it, especially since the "History of Indonesia" infobox is also in the article, while anyone seeking other information can click to the Indonesia article et al. Regards Davidelit (Talk) 07:24, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I object this. Again, the History of the Philippines (1965–1986) article has an infobox, the Military dictatorship of Chile (1973–1990) artlcle has an infobox, and both articles are about regimes and not about nations. If you said that the infobox in this article is useless, then they should be removed too from those two articles. Until we reach a consensus, I'm restoring the infobox. Gibranalnn (talk) 11:47, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed.Dan Carkner (talk) 15:59, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Firstly, I've been talking with the Wikipedian community on Discord, they said the infobox was a harmless thing and still appropriate and everyone may keep the infobox. Second, the Sukarno and Suharto era are both important events in Indonesian history and it is very useful to put an infobox to it for people who are too lazy or didn't have much times to read the entire article, because infoboxes are simple and more informative. Third, there are many countries that use the infobox for other type of regimes or events such as Chile(parliamentary,presidential), Egypt (Sadat,Mubarak), Turkey, China(Maoist Dengist), and even Thailand and many more. Fourth, see Nasserism, Baathism, and Khomeinism they're all political ideologies, but it has an infobox from the {{infobox political party, though they're not a political party.
