Supersemar

The Supersemar, the Indonesian abbreviation for “Surat Perintah Sebelas Maret” ( Order of March the Eleventh), was a document signed by the Indonesian President Sukarno on 11 March 1966.

It is said that it was giving the army commander Lt. General Soeharto authority to take whatever measures he ”deemed necessary” to restore order to the chaotic situation during the Indonesian killings of 1965-1966.

The abbreviation of “Supersemar” is a play on the name of Semar, the mystic and powerful figure who commonly appears in Javanese mythology including wayang puppet shows. The invocation of Semar was presumably intended to help draw on Javanese mythology to lend support to Soeharto’s legitimacy during the period of the transition of authority from Soekarno to Soeharto.

What is actually Supersemar?

• Agreement between Soekarno and Soeharto in 1966

• Soekarno’s legal order to give Soeharto authority in 1966

• Official letter from Soeharto to take the immediate action

• Formal decree of Soeharto to President in March 1965

• The official decree from Soekarno to Soeharto in 1959
