Adam Malik was my patron

teacher. Adam Malik was one of the founding fathers of the Republic of
Indonesia. He was the founder of the Indonesian National News Agency Antara,
on December 13,1937. Adam Malik's career as diplomat and

(ASEAN), President of the United Nations General Assembly in 1971, Chairman
of the Indonesian Parliament 1977, Vice President of the Republic of
Indonesia 1978-1983, Member of theWilly Brandt Commission.
I assisted Adam
Malik in preparation of a book on the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation.
I spent several months to search news and articles on the confrontation. I
collected some 3.000 items. But alas, he died on September 5, 1984, before we
started to write.
1985- Secretary
of the Yayasan Adam Malik (Adam Malik Foundation). The aims of the foundation
are as follows: To keep and maintain the valuable inherited goods as the
property or collection of the late Haji Adam Malik, in order to be still
preserved, and can be enjoyed by the general community; To continue the
various ideals of the late Haji Adam Malik which are not yet realized in the
frame of materializing a just and prosperous Indonesian society, in
accordance with Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution.

Malik Sebagai Pahlawan Nasional [National Seminar on the Proposal of Adam
Malik as National Hero], Medan, March 30, 1998. I submitted the above two
articles to the seminar, but did not read this paper, because I was in Mecca

title, National Hero, on November 9, 1998.

WILLEM ISKANDER (1840-1876)
1975- I began my
research on life and works of Sati Nasution gelar Sutan Iskandar also known
as Willem Iskander in 1975. He was born in Pidoli Lombang, Mandailing, in
March 1840 and died in Amsterdam on May 8, 1876. He was the long forgotten
Indonesian pioneer in teachers’ education. He founded a Native Teachers
Training School [Kweekschool voor Inlandsch Onderwijzers] in
Mandailing, North Sumatra, in 1862. I made library and archival
researches on Willem Iskander in the Netherlands in 1975, 1981, 1985 and
1989. I wrote many articles and delivered lectures on life and works of
Willem Iskander. Then, the central government awarded him ad postuum Hadiah
Seni (Art Award) on August 15, 1978, as a symbol of his acceptance as
one of the Indonesian Man of Thought. Here are some of my works on Willem
Iskander, as follows:
1976a “Charles
Adriaan van Ophuysen peneliti bahasa dan sastra Mandailing” [Charles
Adriaan van Ophuysen: researcher of language and literature of the Mandailing].
In: Waspada; June 16.
1976b
“Menempatkan Willem Iskander sebagai cendekiawan nasional” [To
place Willem Iskander as a national intellectual]. In: Sinar Indonesia
Baru, 1976 (31 Jan.)
1976c Si Bulus-Bulus
Si Rumbuk : sebuah buku bacaan yang ditulis oleh Willem Iskander(1840-1876) [Si
Bulus-Bulus Si Rumbuk-Rumbuk : a book written by Willem Iskander (1840-1876)
/ diterjemahkan dari bahasa Mandailing ke dalam bahasa Indonesia oleh Basyral
Hamidy Harahap. Willem Iskander ; translated from Mandailing language into
Indonesian by Basyral Hamidy Harahap. - Jakarta : PT Campusiana. – 107
p. ; with news clippings on the centenary commemoration of the death of
Willem Iskander, May 8, 1976. - First edition of this bilingual collected
poems and short stories (original text is in Mandailing language) was
published for the first time in 1976.
1977a “Pertemuan
Willem Iskander dengan Abdullah dan Multatuli” [Rendezvous of Willem
Iskander with Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir Munshi and Multatuli]. In: Waspada,
May 18, 1977.
Willem Iskander read works of Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir Munshi, Secretary of
Thomas Stamford Raffles in Singapore, and works of Eduard Douwes Dekker also
known as Multatuli, the author of Max Havelaar, 1860. Willem
Iskander wrote Si Bulus-Bulus Si Rumbuk-Rumbuk, a collection of
satirical poems and short stories which was first published in Batavia in
1872. The structure of Willem Iskanderfs poems are more modern than those of
Abdullahfs. Willem Iskander was influenced by Multatuli in writing satirical
poems.
1977b “101 tahun
wafatnya Willem Iskander (1840-1876): pelopor modernisator, pendidik dan
penyair” [101 years commemoration of the death of Willem
Iskander (1840-1876): pioneer of modernization, educator, and poet]. In: Selecta.

Multatuli]. Waspada; (18 Mei 1977).
1977d “Tinjauan
atas tinjauan Si Bulus-Bulus Si Rumbuk-Rumbuk” [Commentary on a review
on Si Bulus-Bulus Si Rumbuk-Rumbuk]. In: Majalah Sastra Horison,
vol. XII, pp. 188, 189, 191. My commentary on J.U. Nasution’s article,
one of the well-known Indonesian literary critics. He reviewed my Indonesian
translation of Si Bulus-Bulus Si Rumbuk-Rumbuk in literary magazine Horison.
I mentioned in this article, that his review on Willem Iskander’s works
have to be reviewed. Eventhough J.U. Nasution is a Mandailing origin, but he
does not speak Mandailing dialect. That is why his commentary on my
Indonesian translation of the Mandailing text is not proper.
1977e “Willem
Iskander pelopor kesusastraan Indonesia modern” [Willem Iskander:
pioneer in Indonesian modern literature]. - Lecture at Padangsidimpuan in
January 1977.
1977f

1986a “Catatan
atas Bismar Siregar: mayat Willem Iskander tertembus peluru” [Notes
on Bismar Siregar’s article: Willem Iskander’s body was hit by
bullet]. In: Sinar Harapan, June 6, 1986. This article was one of 5
articles in connection with a polemic on the life and works of Willem
Iskander. DR. Daoed Joesoef, former Minister of Education and Culture, wrote
three articles (Sinar Harapan, 14, 15, and 16 May 1986) on the
remarkable achievements of Willem Iskander in promoting education in
Indonesian history. DR. Joesoef also mentioned his respect to me as a
researcher of Willem Iskander who has successfully placed Willem Iskander in
the proper place as a pioneer in teachers training education in Indonesian
history. Bismar Siregar, a notable Supreme Judge, reacted to DR. Joesoef
articles. He denied DR. Joesoef articles including my findings on life and
works of Willem Iskander (Sinar Harapan, 31 May 1986). I made it clear
in my article. I proved that the Supreme Judge had read a certain book and
quoted many false information on historical events in Indonesian history,
including on life and works of Willem Iskander. The editor of the daily Sinar
Harapan, Samuel Pardede, asked me to stop the polemic by answering Bismar
Siregar with some of my findings on life and works of Willem Iskander. So, my
article then closed the discussions.

1981a The Political

South Tapanuli is a “muslim country” as it was shown in the
results of the 1955 general elections, the first, free, clean and
democratic general elections in Indonesian history. The highest number of the
general elections contestants in the whole of Indonesia was 48, that only
occurred in Central Java and North Sumatra Provinces. Only two
regencies in North Sumatra Province that reached the highest number, South
Tapanuli and North Tapanuli Regencies. Six Islamic political parties out of
48 contestants gained 76.4% votes. Masyumi itself got 38%.

history, stressing on political history of South Tapanuli.

My
introduction shows that my paper in Hamburg The Political trends of South
Tapanuli conform with Lance Castles’ dissertation, that there was a
strong differences in political, religious, and socio-cultural attitudes
between South Tapanuli (read: Angkola Mandailing) and North Tapanuli peoples
(read: Toba Bataks).

Daerah Departemen Dalam Negeri dan Otonomi Daerah.
The intention of small groups among Toba Bataks and Malays to create
the Tapanuli Province [read: Batak Province], and East Sumatra Province
[read: Malay Province], will strongly motivate tribalism among them. The
Angkola Mandailing peoples [who occupy the fertile areas, South Tapanuli
Regency, Mandailing Natal Regency, and Padangsidimpuan Municipal] refuse the
Toba Batak ideas to form the Tapanuli Province. It means, that the area of
the intended Tapanuli Province will be only the former North Tapanuli and
Central Tapanuli regencies. It is nice to read Dr. Nainggolan arguments in a
meeting with Van Mook in Medan in 1948, that the creation of Negara
Sumatera Timur (State of East Sumatera), would mean a suicide of the
Bataks.

Social Change
Assisstant
to Prof. Bernhard Dahm (Universität Kiel, then Universität Passau, Germany)
in the field researches on the traditions and modernization in South
Tapanuli, North Sumatra in 1979, 1980, 1989, 1994. Our respondents in
1979 were 800 third year students of 15 Senior High Schools. We distributed
questionnaires to the 800 students. We again visited the regency in October
1980 after attending the International Seminar on Cultures,Traditions, and
Literatures of Minangkabau in Bukittinggi, September 1980. Ten
years after the first field research, 1989, we visited the same schools and
distributed the same questionnaires to 800 third year students of the schools
as we did in 1979. We also interviewed many people in the former South
Tapanuli Regency. Five years after the second field research, we made
observations in 1994, to find out significant changes in social
attitudes. Prof. Dahm has presented the preliminary results of our
research in some seminars, conferences and discussions in Jakarta,
Bukittinggi, Surabaya, and Manila and other places. The final results
of the research are not yet published.

1. Resolusi Nuddin Lubis
[Nuddin Lubis resolution]. - xvii, 543 pages. This manuscript has already
been designed for ready to be published.
Indonesia was hit by very critical political
conflicts after the abortive coup of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) in
1965. The Indonesian Parliament (DPR-GR) took important role in seeking the
best solution of the very dangerous situation in the beginning of 1967.
Nuddin Lubis, chairman of the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) faction in the Parliament,
proposed a resolution to end the political conflicts.
After
long and hard debates, at last the Parliament accepted the so called Resolusi
Nuddin Lubis as official Resolution of the Parliament [DPRGR] which urged
the Temporary Peoples’ Consultative Assembly (MPRS) to call Special
General Assembly to end the political conflicts. Achmad Sjaichu, the Chairman
of the Parliament, handed over the Resolution to General A.H. Nasution in his
capacity as the Chairman of the MPRS. There were two important decisions of
the Special General Assembly: The impeachment of President Sukarno, and the
summon of General Suharto as the Acting President of the Republic of
Indonesia.
This book was written based on the parliamentary
documents, official reports of the Mahkamah Militer Luar Biasa (Mahmilub),
newspapers published in Jakarta and other cities in Java, and official
documents. I spent one year to read newspapers in the Indonesian National
Library to confirm informations I obtained from other sources, including
interviews with General A.H. Nasution and Nuddin Lubis in Jakarta.
