The custom of corruption has been started when Indonesia is still growing as a baby
In the ERA revolution, not everyone who is recognized as a fighter behaves well. At that time in addition to the fighters who really against the Dutch, there are also types of fighters whose work "nyusahin" people in the occupied areas during the War of Independence took place (1945-1949). Those who are in the name of "fight for independence" are, in fact, composed only of the "revolutionary passengers" of the revolution: in vain but their work is robbed, harassed and raped (women victims of Dutch and Indo women).
But actually the behavior is ridiculous and not only it is only for the subordinates only or just the protest attitude alone. Like today, at the official level, the practice of corruption in the name of corruption has already taken place. Even with casualties a considerable amount of money. This is one story.
In June 1948, President Sukarno made goodwill into Aceh. In the realm of rencong, he is not only classified as gempita but also lined up by figures to call something that becomes an urgent need of his new government.
"What if Indonesia has an air vessel to make the country and strengthen the relationship between the island and the island ..." Sukarno said as written by M. Nur El Ibrahim in the Return of Tengku Muhammad Daud Beureueh to the Republic of Indonesia (1979).
As soon as that speech came out of Sukarno's mouth, without much talent, the Acehnese reached into their pockets and removed the jewels in their bodies. So high spirit to sacrifice, to supposedly the queue of donors (a collection of rich and ordinary people) in some mosques and government center Kutaradja (now Banda Aceh) length up to hundreds of meters. A few hours later there was a fund of 120,000 straits plus 20kg of gold (equivalent to 10 Billion for today).
Short story, the funds are then diancer-ancer to buy an airplane. As a project leader Wiweko Soepono, a senior Indonesian pilot and one of the most successful Garuda directors in history. With a stock of 120,000 straitsdollar wessel he then flew to search for aircraft in Thailand. But oddly enough, when Wiweko to the bank, they just say that there is only 60,000 dollars in funds. Raib 50%!
Wiweko finally understood, he was "dibokisin". "I only received half of the funds for ...," he said when interviewed by Angkasa magazine in 2000.
About who is "bokis" in this matter, Wiweko claimed not to know at all. He also did not want to speculate is the giver wessel (who reluctantly his name) is penilep some of the money. To avoid slander and intrigue, Wiweko photocopyed the wessel disbursement. Until they get older, the photocopy of the wessel he keeps.
With 60,000 straits dollars, the Indonesian Air Force officer manages to bring home a DC-47B Dakota later named Seulawah (Golden Mountain). Flight registration number: RI-001. The plane officially became the first presidential aircraft before several years later commercialized to serve civil aviation in Burma.
So, how are the remaining 60,000 dollar staits and 20kg of gold proceeds from the people of Aceh? Like the subsequent cases of mega corruption, the matter can be lost, collected by other historical stories with people completely forgotten. Banget Indonesia yes
