An Open Letter That Touches the Heart to President Prabowo

Why Can Justice Only Thrive with Firmness?

When a single citizen suffers due to the unjust actions of a ruling official—be it a police officer or bureaucrat—that pain radiates beyond the individual and affects the entire community. When justice is absent, public anger ignites. Spontaneous demonstrations may erupt, public facilities can be damaged, and state assets—which should belong to everyone—may be destroyed. The total economic and moral loss can reach trillions of rupiah. This is not mere speculation; it is the reality of wounds we collectively feel.

When Stones, Manuscripts, and Archives Speak About Justice

From ancient palm leaf manuscripts to stone inscriptions, our nation's history records one eternal truth: rulers who neglect their people will create an unbridgeable chasm of anger.

Telaga Batu Inscription

This 7th-century Srivijaya inscription was discovered in Palembang and is now preserved in the National Museum of Indonesia as a living artifact reminding us that power endures only when it absorbs the aspirations of the people, not when it oppresses them.

Sitopayan I Inscription

Written in Old Malay and Old Batak, this inscription documents a community collaborating to build a sacred house—a symbol that without harmony between the people and rulers, the continuity of the nation can be threatened.

National Archives of Indonesia (ANRI): Proclamation Manuscript and Supersemar

The National Archives of the Republic of Indonesia (ANRI) preserves the most important documents in the nation's history. Among them is the Proclamation of Independence Manuscript authored by Bung Karno, forming the foundation of the Republic of Indonesia. This document is not just paper; it is a symbol that the voice of the people must be heard and respected.

ANRI also preserves the Supersemar (March 11, 1966 Order Letter), a controversial document still debated by historians today. The existence of this archive demonstrates how a single government document can significantly influence the nation’s trajectory. Imagine, if one letter could alter the course of history, presidential policies today could change the fate of millions.

Therefore, learning from these archives, we see that decisive action by a leader—whether in the form of a proclamation text or the dismissal of rogue officials—leaves a historical impact. ANRI reminds us that a nation stands because people trust in justice and will collapse if that trust is betrayed.

Your Firm Action, Hope for the People

Mr. President, we earnestly request that any government official or officer harming the people be immediately and justly dismissed. Do not allow even the smallest provocation to become a spark that burns the sense of unity. Such decisive steps are not merely a matter of morality but also a matter of protecting national integrity and public trust.

If this action truly comes from your hand, Mr. President, we believe this nation will breathe freely again, citizens will feel embraced rather than ignored, roads and public facilities will remain strong, as anger will no longer find a place, and the economy will flourish in peace, for justice is the best fertilizer for national growth.

As we conclude this letter, we express a great hope: inspiring policies, firm actions, and enduring examples. Only with a just heart and wise policies can this nation confidently stride toward greatness.

Thank you for your attention, Mr. President. May the murmurs of the people's voice reach your esteemed ears, bringing fundamental change for a shining future of Indonesia.
