Indonesia's Exiles: Too Late To Return Home? | Insight | Full Episode

In January 2023, Indonesian President Jokowi made a stunning admission. He apologised for the country's human rights atrocities committed during the communist purge in the 60s, including the exile of those with suspected ties to the communist party. The President promised to right the wrongs by restoring citizenship to these exiles, some of whom have not seen their country of birth in almost 60 years.
Ten months later, and the political exiles remain in limbo, unclear of what this would mean for them. Who are these exiles and what happened to them since the communist purge in the 1960s? Will restoring their citizenship heal the wounds from this dark chapter of Indonesia's history?

I really appreciate CNA for making this documentary As an Indonesian myself, I know our government tried to close our eyes from seeing what really happened in the dark past. But I believe a big country is one to acknowledge its own mistake to make better choices in the future, and we're still not there, yet. And lastly, we know who not to choose for the next president.

Bagi saya dan keluarga, yg memiliki kekerabatan dgn salah satu jendral yg menjadi korban 65 di lubang buaya. Yang juga punya keluarga yg jadi korban selama pembantaian setelahnya (rumahnya dimasuki, dituduh PKI, diseret, dan tak pernah kembali). Dan juga punya keluarga (adik laki dari kakek saya) yg dikirim oleh sukarno ke jerman timur utk belajar fisika nuklir. Beliau tdk berani pulang, menikah disana dgn wanita indonesia juga. Beliau baru berani pulang pertama kali ke indonesia di 98 setelah suharto turun. Beliau & istri juga sudah jadi warga negara jerman. Dan meninggal pun saat di jerman (jenazah di pulangkan ke indonesia). Bagi para exile yg meminta jaminan keselamatan, itu bukan tanpa alasan. Kolega yg dikirim bersama kakek saya saja dari 67 orang hanya 13 orang yg masih hidup krn menolak utk pulang (sama seperti orang orang di video). Yg memilih utk kembali saat itu, hanya kopernya saja yg sampai ke rumahnya. Saya & keluarga senang mendengar Pernyataan presiden jokowi, itu merupakan sebuah awal. Setidaknya sebagian dari ketidakadilan itu sudah hilang. Dan menurut saya, para exile & keluarga korban itu tdk berharap banyak. Hanya sebuah pengakuan, pelurusan sejarah dan permintaan maaf sudah cukup. Mau yg bersalah itu pemerintah orde baru, dan yg minta maaf reformasi itu tdk menjadi masalah. Krn bagaimanapun juga pemerintah reformasi lah yg menggantikan rezim orde baru.

It's a good sign that the government is acknowledging its mistake. Not many government in this world have the balls to admit mistake

[@abcddef2112]

Because most of these exile were leftist mostly students in eastern bloc countries, when the cia-backed right wing Suharto coup happened, relations with eastern bloc country worsen, while USA improved. The current ruling party is lead by mega (sukarno's daughter), so ofc because different regime more sympathetic to these exiles. Singapore isn't really innocent since Singapore was used as a base by BBC to publish propaganda and fake news in Indonesia. One of the most infamous, gerwani cutting general's genital. USA justified it as, Sukarno is moving to communist camp. So you will hear that often repeated. McCarthyism imported from USA, is still alive in Indonesia, albeit weakened. Admired Sukrisno considering, Dutch government knew full well what happened, and which side they supported in that coup.

[@diawannoto]

this comunism purge (coup) was during Soeharto reign, approved by CIA, later he became presiden with some obscure letter saying he is to be president. put it simply it is Coup to remove Soekarno, by using PKI and later purge them after they fulfil their role.

Most indonesians know the history. Now, lets talk about the said native "pribumi" and chinese descendant "chindo". If only the pribumi try mingling to the chindo or only the chindo try to mingling to the pribumi. Then harmony wouldnt happen. Because of why ? only one group does the mingling. Now, are both pribumi and chindo already trying to mingle to each other ? Cause if both dont try to mingling to other group, and try to be as exclusive as they can be, hatred can easily rise cause you dont want to mingle.

[@danielles7766]

@@zevter1 You might want to check how pribumi and Chindos intermingle in Central and East Java. Your statement is totally invalid because you only saw Chindo population in Jakarta which doesnt share views and history with other Chindos across Indonesia. Another reason to add is because you chose to ignore the history of Chindo population in Jakarta, 3 genocide events throughout history since the Dutch colonization is enough to separate communities and people.

If the chindo dont contribute then that's the chindo's fault. Effort goes both way. I already stated that both the pribumi and chinese all have to mingle. If the chindo in jakarta already try to mingle to the pribumi but the pribumi still dont want it. Then that's the pribumi fault.

As a Chinese indo. I remember as a kid, my mother would sometimes ask me to be careful when making a friend with what people here called pribumi. It's because of the fear that my family experienced during the 65 massacre and 98 mass attacks which both targeted the Chinese Indonesian community. Since this event happened not long before my birth the scars that my parents felt is still fresh. It took a while until my parents could heal from that experience. I still remember stories of how my parents were contemplating moving to hong kong along with my other extended family but chose to stay because it's their home.

[@queen84sasha]

It's the same for my grandfather who was jailed tortured and then bribed his way out of jail and fled to Germany never seen his family again. But the so-called activists group and people in this CNA documentary are not representing the real victims of New Order. This is just a group lead by a Sukarno idolator and Java Nationalist called Artien Utrecht. They are based in the Netherlands and they only represent a small group of Indonesians. Specifically a group of (Javanese) and Sukarno idolators that were studying abroad and then had their passport confiscated, that's all. Like that man Sungkono. Not the real most serious victims of the New Order regime and not Chinese Indonesian.

[@queen84sasha]

ScufflesWaffles this is not about malays or chinese at all. The malay ethnic minority were also murdered by these pro republican/ Sukarnoists (Javanese) in Indonesia. This video is about a small privileged group of Sukarno-idolators living in the Netherlands who demand apologies for everything and anything. This group does not even include Chinese Indonesian.The real victims of 1965 remain silenced. These are Javanese and Indonesian PKI members/ NASAKOM affiliates tainted with their own SIN. I know them all personally. There's nothing sincere about what they are doing. They just want the PKI and communism to be rehabilitated in Indonesia. They are also part of a radicalised communist organisation in the Netherlands. Again: they do not represent the INNOCENT victims/civilians of 1965. It's all political gain for them.

[@queen84sasha]

But these people are not the real victims in fact. They are hypocrites with a political agenda and tainted with their own SINS. They do not represent the INNOCENT victims of 1965.

Good day, your country's military-political leadership picked the geopolitical correct side. Being aligned with the US and against the SU meant targeting Reds or alleged pro-Reds became a non-issue. Despite all the talk about a multi-polar world, the US-Western Globalist establishment largely decided on what was right and wrong. Over the past 30-35 years. people around the world were constantly reminded how supposedly evil post-1945 left-wing regimes were but what about post-1945 right-wing regimes? The South-Central American examples were a reminder being anti-Red qualified as part of the good guys. Even when the misdeeds of right-wingers were highlighted, it was done in a less prominent manner. Those who were deemed as "victims of communism" were venerated but victims of anti-communist purges were given much lower status or not considered as important. Maybe some reference to Argentina which made the mistake of falling out with the UK over the Falklands. Other than that , similar right-wing military regimes in South-Central America got little mention. The Western media avoided labelling Suharto as a dictator until after 1998. In earlier times, the Western media used the official term of guided democracy to describe the Suharto system.

As an indonesian myself, it's not that we don't want to talk about this matters, but as of this moments, we are still afraid to talk about this honestly. There's too many activists who already talk about this and "magically" gone missing. Or worse we're gonna have to deal with UU ITE (information & technologies law). I'm just gonna say that we're currently looking at a more complicated matter than what it seems. We know all 3 of the sides of the stories, we all acknowledge the atrocities that has been done, we also acknowledge that this whole propaganda is wrong. But I just wanna say to the govt that it is not okay to show the whole propaganda movie without censorship to children in school as early as middle school every year. Please don't let the younger generation carry the whole trauma, I think it's fine as long as they know the severity of this matter. ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

I think this idea is not productive because it would make another problem which make another tension between supporter of each side. I think, the best solution is, acknowledge the mistake, give compensation, and give indonesian citizenship.

[@muhammadshalahuddin6886]

True, i mean look at their demand after the government admit their wrongdoing and offer reparations (restoring their citizenship or multi visits visa) they said its still not enough to payback their suffering during the soeharto era. Like the ones doing that (the 1960s) have been stripped from the government by the new government. Why they still asking for more than that lol.

[@ryerye9019]

The sad reality is that the Indonesian army has killed more of its own citizens than foreign invaders or colonial occupiers. They were trained by the Japanese who have a history of committing many war crimes in Asia. Indonesia would have been a more prosperous and stable country if there had between a peaceful transfer of power like with Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Hong Kong. That dark period really set Indonesia back. Military dictatorship has long lasting scars. For 41 years out of 78, Indonesia has been ruled by a military general, including SBY.

There's always a dark side of leaders who want to gain power and rule a country. Extremists also want a share of power. When opinions differ, conflicts arise and lead to wars, civil unrest and riots. More often than not, commoners become innocent victims. Indonesia has gone through alot in the last 70 years. The younger generation would not recall the events of 1965/1966 or even in 1998 during the Asian Financial Crisis as they were probably not born then. But history cannot repeat itself - anymore - if Indonesia wants to move forward both economically and politically as a democratic nation. President Jokowi has made the right decision to apologise for the atrocities committed during the dark days of 1965/1966. After all, King Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands apologised on behalf of his country for the excessive violence suffered by the Indonesians during their struggle for independence when he and his wife, Queen Maxima, visited Indonesia in March 2020.

This is very educational. And expertly produced as well. The recent political history of Indonesia and the Philippines is almost parallel. Suharto and Marcos were reportedly the closest allies in Southeast Asia of the late 1960s-1980s. Both hated dictators. President Jokowi is an enlightened leader from what I am reading now....acknowledging the mistakes of the past. Ferdinand E Marcos, Jr., son of the dictator and current Philippine president, is engaged in revisionism of history denying the truth of the evils of his father's martial law regime. I enjoy reading and watching anything about Indonesian history and politics.

[@Dhekem]

Tbh communism has always been a real threat in Indonesia and PKI had been instrumentalised by Sukarno in the years prior to 1965 (1945-1964) to kill ethnic minority leaders in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi even Maluku...except this is something literally noone in the current Indonesian government admits. They are whitewashing and making REVISIONIST history falsifications about it. In line with this documentary, it's a one-sided story. The 1965 episode was a revenge action for Sukarno's pogroms against ethnic leaders and for which he had instrumentalised the PKI.

Indonesia today is relatively more open to talk about this topic. I am in my 30s and in my elementary school days (98-early 00s) we're taught PKI were the bad guys and Soeharto was the hero. Though I come to realize later that the reality isn't black and white and what happened in 1965 was a mess. I think we must acknowledge about our mistake as a new country in the past. I don't know how young Indonesians today are being taught about this topic at school, but we should look past beyond who's right or wrong and reach out to our unfortunate brothers and sisters who became the innocent victims of the incident. Sadly because of how we've been programmed about the incident, many Indonesians still have an unfavorable view toward the exiles and see them as "PKI" (which become one of the worst derogatory term in the country). Government all over the world do the same thing and control the narrative to their citizens, but the fact that our government ready to admit about the mistake is an important move toward the right direction.

This is really great insight on maybe the darkest time in Indonesia's History since Independence. Its a shame that even until today, people still easy to be led or encourage to hurt or hate their own people. The problem wasn't because of the Communist's Ideology, same like Imperialism, was it bad? The only reason the country that adopt it crumbles was because of Corruption again, corruption of power, money, and doing things just for the sake of their political group. When the era of Imperialism fall, people in the new era says imperialism is bad, when communism fall, people in the new era says communism is bad, it might not far in the future before the era of democracy fall and guess what, yes the people in the new era will says democracy is bad.... The important things was for us wasn't to avoid or hate certain ideology, it is to learn from past and don't repeat it again.....

In both Indonesia and Malaysua, it is always the hard working, peaceful Chinese who are bullied and killed for their success, especially in making their land productive, or are successful in their business enterprises, and in the seventies, the Chinese were raped and killed in Acheh, on an Indonesian island and the murders and rapes were hushed up in the press. In Malaysia, in the twenty-twenties, successful Chinese farmers were forced off their lands, government agents falsely claiming that the government need their lands and there were no compensations. Farmers who refused, find their crops destroyed and slashed; many farmers suffer fear, depression and there were a number of suicides as the farmers were left with nothing to compensate for their labour, fertilisers, water usage, fencing, farming tools, and hours of trials and frustration, pest control and costs. Quite often, when people are jailed without trials, they are murdered while in prison and these deaths are easily and falsely covered up as suicides. None of the prison deaths are ever investigated nor will any case be entertained. The culprits know this all along and will commit murders

[@baharm65]

Can you prove it its their land? Or they just plundering (i.e stealing) governmenr land without paying taxes? How many of them being jailed? How many of them got killed while in jail? Better back up you claim with facts…otherwise you are just a professional lier.

[@audieadia5349]

If you're interested about Indonesia's dark past (im refering to the aftermath of communist genocide in Indonesia), i suggest you watch a beautiful docummentary directed by Joshua Oppenheimer called "The Act of Killing" and its sequel "The look of silence". The first docummentary shows what truly happened during the aftermath of Soekarno's exile from the lens of the people who did the killing. It's a very well crafted docummentary and it's available on youtube.

Mr. Mahfud MD, the minister who refused to apologize is a certified badass oldie. I hope he learns the consequences of his words there because even if he's a little brash, he can be quick to reevaluate and admit mistakes. He's a good bureaucrat despite sometimes throwing caution or tact out the window. I hope he redeems himself like Mark Rutte

[@BrightestStar1023]

Agree. I found him not wise and unemphatic for saying that. This forum that they held felt like a formality rather than inclination to address the actual issues. I found most politicians in Indonesia are arrogant when they’re in power.

[@harukrentz435]

Mahfud came from religious bloc, if you knew history between the communist and religious blocs in Indonesia you'll understand why there was still little bit of disdain toward communism. I think Gus Dur was the only figure from religious bloc who was completely chill about communism, heck i remember when he threw an idea to revive communism in Indonesia in 2000 😂😂😂😂

This video piece could have been better researched. Just a google search of the Wikipedia and declassified documents show how much US was directly involved in the failed 1958 coup against Sukarno and subsequent successful coup years later. The US was silent about the atrocities because CIA was directly involved with supplying of arms, advisory support and training of rebel commanders. President Eisenhower even ordered the coup by CIA and even American/Filipino pilots were directly involved in the 1958 coup.

Yep, Prabowo is rolling back all the initial work for reconciliation by Jokowi. It will take many generations, all the involved generals in human rights violations to pass away, for something to start to heal the minds and souls of the Indonesian diaspora, across the world. 2050? Maybe. However, we have also to look at another perspective. Indonesia is today a country with a very active Muslim population with a tendency to close in over the other religious minorities, which can be another controversial barrier to accepting former victims' descendants to be admitted in Indonesia.

[@harukrentz435]

Prabowo and his family were once an exile too. His father ran away after the failed revolt of PRRI. Jokowi said enough is enough and gave pardon to everyone involved in both communist coups and PRRI revolt.

[@suiro8455]

Whut? Rolling back? Based on what fact?

[@youxkio]

Prabowo has strong links with the military and if he wins the elections we will witness the return of the nationalistic regime, centralized in the new Nusantara. He will impose stricter social rules to reduce the connections with the Chinese and increase relations with the US, Prabowo has too much-biased connectivity with the military and his thirst for concentrated power with crony elites will be inevitable. In line with global tendencies, Prabowo will also try to expand his tenure as President by changing the legislation on presidential mandates. This will bring many people to the streets and more people will be murdered, just like he did during Suharto's.@@suiro8455

[@limmyk4943]

​@suiro8455 some Chinese-Indonesias have a terrible view of Prabowo because he was head of the military back in 1998 and a lot of us view him as the perpetrator of the massacres done to us. some of us associated him with Suharto a lot too so we're mostly actung on trauma.

It's like Sukarno idolators believe they hold exclusive rights to apologies.. Who is going to apologize for the pogroms committed by PKI in the years 1946 until 1964. Sukarno literally instrumentalised PKI to kill ethnic leaders and any opposition to the Sukarno/Java regime. Those victims are COMPLETELY forgotten. Always the same Sukarno idolators who take word. I know this particular activist lead by Artien Utrecht in the Netherlands. They are horrible hypocrites. Not even the Chinese families that were tortured and jailed by Suharto are represented. Disgraceful this group of Sukarno idolators and Java Nationalists who only had their passport taken, that's all. They are fully HYPOCRITES.

This group of "activists" from the Netherlands are not who they pretend to be. Not the real hardcore victims of either of the Indonesian regimes. Both Sukarno and Suharto made atrocities against civilians. By great uncle was tortured and jailed. But not represented in this group at all. The group here are only a bunch of SUKARNO idolators from the Netherlands lead by Artien Utrecht a pure Javacentric Indonesian Ultra-Nationalist. It has Nothing to do with the real victims of the Jawa regimes or 1965. Only a few privileged SUKARNO idolators who had their passport confiscated. It's pure hypocrisy tbh.
