The cause of the process of disintegrating: vested interest1

1. These following incidents, are related to the presence of KNIL troops or the Royal Army (in) the
Dutch East Indies, who rejected the arrival of Indonesian troops in the territories they previously
controlled. In situations like this, conflicts occur. It can be analysed as the conflict that is firmly
embedded in a group. This group usually tries to control a social system or activity for its own
benefit. They are also difficult to want to let go of their position or position so that it often impedes a
process of change.

4. In his autobiography, Tanpa Pamrih Kupertahankan Proklamasi Kemerdekaan 17 Agustus 1945, he
mentioned that this ex-DST KNIL actually spoke to 7 West Java figures. According to Abdul Karim
bin Djamin, a former member of the West Java People's Army of West Java (LRDR) who later
joined his underground movement. The action was planned to be realized on January 5, 1950, by
giving poison to to 7 West Java figures : Colonel Sadikin (Commander of the Siliwangi Division),
Major Mohamad Rivai (Military Information Head of Military Governor IV West Java), Lieutenant
Colonel Soetoko (Deputy Chief of Staff of the Siliwangi Division), Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Err Sud
Sudo (Chief of Staff of the Siliwangi Division), Lieutenant Colonel Sentot Iskandardinata, Major

ISBN 0-8014-9108-8.. The failure of the coup led to the demoralization of militia members against his leader and forced to flee to
the Netherlands. Without a strong leader, APRA finally stopped functioning in February 1950. APRA's actions eventually led to
the detention of Sultan Hamid II and instead accelerated the dissolution of the United States of Indonesia on August 17, 1950,
transforming Indonesia into a unitary state dominated by the central government in Jakarta.

Vested interest : The rebellion of APRA Book Analysis: Ensiklopedi Umum

5. In the Ensiklopedi Umum, he recounts the process of "cleansing thoroughly" this ex-DST KNIL:
"Dozens of villages were visited one by one with their fully armed troops. Male, female villagers, and
children were no exception gathered in an open field before their troops in a position ready to fire.
Asked where the guerrillas hid. Nobody answered. Some people are called to the face. Question
repeated. People keep silent. An instant later the bullet had pierced their minds. Intended so that the
rest of the people are afraid and like to talk. Nor did the answer to the question come out. Shots
followed that were directed towards the group of helpless and innocent people. The next village gets
its turn. The same savagery is exercised. This was done for three months beginning December 11,
1946. About forty thousand innocent people were killed because of it."

was a Captain at APRIS. Even though he had entered APRIS, he was also included in rejecting the
landing of the Worang Battalion as well. "For what reason APRIS troops were brought from Java,
after all ex-KNIL forces in Makassar also have APRIS troops and are able to secure NIT," he said as
noted by the History of the Army (1945-1973) 1979). In the early hours of Wednesday, April 5, 1950,

officers in the quartier staff and CPM boarding house in Verlegde Klapperlaan. Their alibis are:

1950. "Fulfilling the true will, and demands of the people of South
Maluku, we hereby proclaim the Independence of the Republic of
South Maluku, de facto de jure, in the form of the Republic, apart
from all the relations of state administration in Eastern Indonesia
and RIS" so he began the fragment of the RMS proclamation.5

Revolt, 1880-1950
9. Richard Chauvel in his book, Nationalists, Soldiers and Separatists: The Ambonese Islands from
Colonialism to Revolt, 1880-1950, begins his final chapter by stating: '…… and its suppression was a
tragedy for Ambonese society. It was the
worst possible way in which Ambon could
have become part of independent Indonesia'.
Hundreds of ex-KNILs, assisted by thousands
of young men armed with spears and arrows,
became the core force of this military at that
time. With that power, this movement was the
first major uprising that made the Soekarno
government dizzy around.

while he was trying to quell the rebellion at the gates of the Victoria fort,
Ambon, Slamet Riyadi's troops met with a group of troops hiding in the
fort by raising the Red and White flag. Seeing the Red and White flag, he
ordered his troops to stop the attack because he was sure that they were
Siliwangi soldiers. When he wanted to prove himself and stepped out of
the panzer, it turned out that the mob was not the Siliwangi army but the
rebels. They showered him with a series of gunfire and hit him badly in
the stomach. The bullets hit the metal in the belt and because of the

 dummies. The wounds were large. The consequences were very severe. "He finally died," said Alex
Kawilarang in his biography, Untuk Sang Merah Putih. The operation to quell the RMS is indeed
heavy and difficult. The resilience of the RMS forces made it difficult for the Indonesian troops to
return home alive from Ambon. This is a very dangerous hazing for members of the ex-KNIL
military, as well as soldiers who during the revolution were left branded. They seemed to be asked to
"wash away sins", with the risk of lives lost.

The rebellion of PRRI/Permesta: Book Analysis: Permesta; Pemberontakan Setengah Hati

13. In Barbara Sillars Harvey’s book, Permesta; Pemberontakan Setengah Hati9,
that night there were about 50 people gathered. They looked at each other and were a little confused,
even though preparations for this had been anticipated several months earlier. Saleh Lahade read the
piagam Perjuangan Rakyat Semesta (Permesta). One of the contents is about the concept of regional
autonomy. Permesta wants development to be carried out fairly in each province. The results of
regional resources are used for regional development by 70 percent and 30 percent for the central
government. However, before Saleh Lahade read the Permesta charter, this man read out the
proclamation of the state of martial law in Indonesia.
