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.

Brian didn't ... his parents about his english test score last week

My elder sister and I just moved a new house this weekend, so we decided to do shopping to furnish the place. First, we went to an appliance store not too far from our new house, and we bought a refrigerator for the kitchen. You really can't live without one because you have to keep your food cold or frozen so it doesn't spoil. Then, we bought a washing machine to wash and dry our clothes. We don't want to go to a laundromat to do this every week like we used to do when we are in a boarding house. Next, we bought a rice cooker. We certainly need one because it can make life easier. You simply put the rice into the cooker and press the cooking button, then you can do other chores while the cooker is cooking the rice finally, we picked up a microwave oven. if we are in a hurry and don't have time to cook, we can place the food in the microwave and heat it up quickly. We haven't purchased everything we need to furnish our new place, but we think we have the basic appliances to make life more comfortable for now.

One morning I met my father outside the school gate. Prior to this, I received my teacher's permission to be temporarily excused from class. I would collect some items from my father. My father handed me my examination result slip which he had signed. Also, he handed a consent form for the Track and Field Training Camp which I would take part in. My father scolded me for being irresponsible. I just kept silent and told him that I had to return to my class. My father then quickly left for work. I rushed back to my class. However, I did not place my wallet, which contained money, in my pocket carefully. I dropped it and I didn't notice it. The money was the fee for the Track and Field Training Camp!
