The Secret of Indonesian Proclamation

Anyone would be familiar with photo Bung Karno being read a proclamation. This photo is always loaded in every book of history of independence and TV shows discussing the proclamation. The photos were so important because being authentic proof reading of the proclamation of Indonesian independence. But, in the image behind it also contains interesting stories. Here is one story about the reading of the proclamation that I found in an article snippet.

The only microphone
Never a former official told RI that microphone only used at the time of the Declaration of Independence on 17 August 1945 it was stuff "stolen from the Dutch". That's not true! microphone is owned by Br. Gunawan of "Radio Satrija", residing and doing business in the Middle Salemba 24, Jakarta.

It is the result of artificial Mikrofoon Br. Gunawan own. Good "funnel" it, or "stardar" her. Both "Vesterker" it, or "band" of his, also made of "zilverpapier", cigarettes veil. Overall it was a result of intelligence and skills of the hands of an Indonesian, was named Gunawan.




On August 17, early in the morning, two men, aged 35 years, driving a car, come to borrow mikrofoon. Not explained to him for what purposes. That they are brothers. Wilopo and Nyonoprawoto. Bro. Wilopo time was working at City Hall as pembatu Suwirjo pack. Therefore both Br. Wilopo and Mas mikrofoon Njono can not install it yourself, then Br. Gunawan told a family member, a 21-year-old boy who was also skilled enough to join them. That's new in the car, Br. Sunarto says the young man's name, was told that it would be necessary to mikrofoon Declaration of Independence.

Bro. Sunarto Mikrofoon which is what put this besejarah in Building 56 East Pegangsaan on August 17, 1945 (when this article was written, Br. Sunarto worked as a businessman and lived in Bogor).


"Standard" in the establishment of an open front space, and "versterker" placed in the front room was left open space. Once completed use, it also mikrofoon afternoon handed back by Br. Wilopo to Br. Gunawan.

According to Bro. Sunarto, both in the East and brought to Pegangsaan when brought back to the Middle Salemba, Mikrofoon as if it had received "a salvo of honor" of the Japanese army in the form of a rifle shot. Each sound in advance RS UP and in advance "Ika Daigaku" (School of Medicine UI now). Fortunately not to cause casualties, and perhaps it is not the "real bullets".

It turns out it still has a role mikrofoon further because it coincides with their owners, was taken to move to Solo at the beginning of 1946. Since the items are stored well by the Gunawan family. Only occasionally is addressed to the Sabbath-best friend and never used again. At the end of 1949, to meet the government's recommendation of Indonesia, Gunawan family had returned to Jakarta. "Historic Mikrofoon" bring it, "Versterker" it has been broken, and left in Jogja. Many times the value of goods that have a history that has offered people to buy, but the Gunawan family always refused. In manakan artifacts that today?

At around 1960, along microphone "standar" her but without the "versterker" again, it has been requested by Br. Harjoto, then Secretary General of the Ministry of Information, through Br. Darmosugondo to be submitted to the President, in order to eventually be stored in the Monas (National Monument).

But since then Br. Harjoto microphone not know anymore where it is located. Which may still be able to testify is Mr.. Tukimin, personal aide of President Sukarno, Mr. So replied. Harjoto to the question writer. At that time Bro. Gunawan and their wife has expressed no objection at all, even feel happy and proud, if "mikrofoon" is included in the museum of our struggle. It must be admitted, that in addition PAPER WITH TEXT Proclamation and FLAG HERITAGE,  MICROFON this is an appropriate historical objects we store all the masses.


3rd woman

At the time of Independence was proclaimed in East Pegangsaan (now Jalan Proclamation) No.. 56, among over a thousand people were present at the venue, there were only 3 women. Which 2 people, we already know, namely "Mom Fat" and "Zus Tri". But who is the woman who is the 3rd? He also stood in the front row facing the Bung Karno. And when a few moments later Dr. Muwardi invited to form "Brave Troops Dead", a woman who was about 35 years old and very simple dressed, helped enroll him. The authors do not remember his name anymore.


But the address he gave was the author recalled. Ie KARANGANYAR (Bagelen). He still alive today? (When this article was written), I do not know!

But she was 3rd lady that we can see in the pictures Proclamation of Independence on August 17th 1945.
