Questions and Answers
Q-1: When and where was
the Independence of Indonesia Proclaimed?
A-1: The Indonesian
Declaration of Independence was officially proclaimed at 10:00 am sharp on Friday,
August 17, 1945.
Indonesian
national leaders Ir. Sukarno and Drs. Mohammad Hatta proclaimed Indonesia’s
Independence on behalf of the people.
The
proclamation, which took place at 58,
Jalan Pegangsaan Timur, Jakarta, was heard by thousands of Indonesians
throughout the country because the text was secretly broadcast by Indonesian
Radio personnel using the transmitters of the Japanese- controlled Radio station, Jakarta Hoso Kyoku.
An English translation of the proclamation was broadcast overseas.
Q-2: Who read the
proclamation text of Indonesia’s Independence on the Radio for the first time?
A-2: a. M. Jusuf Ronodipuro
When
Indonesia declared its Independence on 17 August 1945, the new country needed
an effective tool to announce its declaration of Independence to the whole
nation and to the world audience. At 19:00 on the same day, M. Jusuf
Ronodipuro, Founder of the Radio Republic of Indonesia (RRI), has read the
proclamation of news on Hoso Kyoku, Japanese occupation Radio (Shortwaves
transmissions in Bandung). He was also supported by Dr. Abdulrahman Saleh, who
had a passion for Radio broadcasting.
This
“Diplomacy Radio” successfully attracted the world’s community, and the
proclamation of Indonesia’s Independence on 17th August 1945 was
promptly recognized by countries, such as India, Egypt etc.
Q-3: When is RRI’s
Anniversary?
A-3: Radio Republic of
Indonesia (RRI), was officially founded on September
11, 1945, by the characters that were previously active operates several
Radio stations in Japan in 6 cities. Meeting of envoys of six Radios in Home
Street in Menteng Kadarusman Adang Jakarta resulted in the decision establishing
the Radio Republic of Indonesia (RRI) by choosing Doctor Abdulrahman Saleh as
General Superior of the RRI first.
So, 11
September is the anniversary of RRI. This year, RRI will be celebrated 70th anniversary.
I
hope RRI can continue to develop its broadcast quality so as continuously
providing credible information services to the public.
