6 Characteristics of
Human Indonesia According to the writer of the We, (the late) Mochtar
Lubis (For Material Reflection, reflection and introspection) Olina wr
wb After seeing a phenomenon on stage Politics, both national and
regional, as well as fighting the Members of the Board Dear, the
candidates or Cagub, KPK and the police seizure case, Case Century,
Hambalang etc., reminds me back with criticism Spicy our Great writers,
the late Mochtar Lubis in which one of the interesting books of that era
around the 1980s is the Man Indonesia. THAT is said this
book was born from a culture lecture delivered orally in 1977. Of course
not all delivered by Mochtar Lubis is true, but not all too wrong. It was said, at the time this speech was so crowded discussed. We as identified by this paper, which is certainly a lot of pros and cons. At
least signikal style Mochtar contains the truth and being criticized
for the nation to be more reflective, especially being a mirror for the
leader, Lecture culture titled "Indonesian Man" presented by Mochtar
Lubis in Jakarta Arts Institute (IKJ) on 6 April 1977 and recorded with
the title "Humans Indonesia" by Obor Indonesia in 2001 is still actual
until now, the task of every educator in this country to reverse the
condition becomes better and dignified in the eyes of the world and
civilization respecting the ethical and moral values. In
the Indonesian Human Book tells the properties inherent in humans
Indonesia, said to be in 6 pieces of nature: first, a hypocrite or
hypocritical. Second, reluctant to be responsible for his actions. Third, the attitude and behavior of the feudal. Fourth, still believe in superstitions. Fifth, artistic. Sixth, weak in character and character. In Indonesia Mochtar Lubis name has been known as an author and journalist. Since the days of the occupation he has been in the lighting field. He co-founded the news agency AFP, later founded and led the Indonesia Raya newspaper that has been banned. He founded the literary magazine Horizon together his friends. At
the time of Sukarno's regime, he was jailed nearly nine years and
released in 1966. And he often received awards for karyakarya he wrote. Indeed,
until now academics-especially from the field of sociology and
antropologi- find it quite difficult to give a man the characteristics
typical of Indonesia. This is caused by the presence of various ethnic groups in Indonesia with its characteristics. However,
the difficulty becomes meaningless for a Mochtar Lubis, a journalist
and self-taught writer who just graduated Hollandsch Inlandsche School
(HIS). People in Indonesia: A charge person (hereinafter
Human Indonesia), at a minimum, Mochtar Lubis had been 'able' to make a
conclusion or even generalize the properties of Indonesia 130 million
people at the time (at the time this book was published, 1977 /1978). Accountability
Mochtar Lubis, may belatar back from the long journey and experience in
and in the struggle of Indonesia during Dutch colonialism; Dai
Nippon expansion, struggle for and defend the independence, the era of
guided democracy, and the establishment of stakes solidarity spirit of
the new order to the decrease in the spirit of togetherness and unity of
the nation lately. In the long journey, Mochtar Lubis met
with various people at once confronted and clashed with 'strength and
great power' that is so he had blown for a while. With that
background, then in Indonesia found nadanada Human cynical honest or
may reveal what the human condition is universal and not only in
Indonesia. Any charges made by Mochtar Lubis basically just a stereotype about the human condition generalized Indonesia. But the stereotype itself is not entirely true nor entirely false. Stereotypes
are formed from the experience and observations so attached to humans
Indonesia, although the sides are not true, stereotypes reinforced by
prejudice and generalization. This book has been around
since 1977, but why when the author reading and watching it really is
quite relevant to the state of Indonesian society today. Whereas
Muchtar Lubis himself also said in response to comments in the book
about the subjectivity of thought, after receiving criticism from the
father of psychology and enter Indonesia, Sarlito Wirawan, about the
inability of the population of Indonesia which is essentially compound
from various aspects. Added again by Sarlito Wirawan that
the human personality profile of Indonesia expressed by Mochtar Lubis
pengamatanpengamatannya only based on its own without constituted by
such objective data contributing to the allegations did not give the
real picture of exactly what percentage of Indonesian human is meant by
Mochtar Lubis. If indeed the Indonesian Man is an
expression of the reality of the human turns Indonesia is full of
paradoxes that still unfathomable by anyone, including by Mochtar Lubis
himself. Indonesian human characteristic feature according to Mochtar Lubis is: 1. First, Indonesia's first human traits is a hypocrite. Human
traits Indonesia first by Mochtar Lubis is a hypocrite or hipokritis In
the first feature is explained that hypocrisy is human nature Indonesia
as an example, our country is led by manusiamanusia religious who wear
symbols of religion in the name either (like the title) or clothing
accessories, yet try to note that they found tempattempat prostitution
either within or outside the city, and the worse they flourished like
mushrooms. Pidatopidato of virtue and wisdom there dimanamana, spoken and heard, but corruption still rampant. Indonesia
is also famous human being learned only within their own, if it came
out of the country then they will soon seek satisfaction like going to
nightclubs and prostitution. Manusiamanusia wearing a mask
in order to find survivors themselves, using the principle of the boss
attitude ABS (the boss happy), the use of the word father by Mochtar
Lubis is not a word that matches the call to the boss who called the
father of the son and the children were under the control of the father
of the ruling full. That last is existing at the time of
Mochtar Lubis namely the 1977 round, and now let us try to compare the
current state of the Indonesian nation. Rasarasanya at some
point does not change as it looks like a new corruption last few years
meant intensively conducted kirakira long this nation also tangled
problem of corruption in the country's caretaker. Perhaps
that is what is different now is the existence of a night club in
Indonesia's international standard so that the visitors no longer need
to run out of the country to enjoy all the facilities that hedonic. Hypocrisy
in humans Indonesia turned out at the present time has been spread out
in various aspects, a lot if we look mulutmulut sweet promises, saying
the opposite of what would be done, masks falsehood, like spreader
goodness to look beyond that to be rotten and bad character therein. Just as Mochtar Lubis all this is just a stereotype, true or not really all just allegations, but reasoned. What
is clear in our present society there are also those who are not
hypocrites, they are not hypocrisy and there are those that are both
outside and inside. 2. Secondly, other human traits are unwilling (reluctant or shy) is responsible for the deeds he had done. Then
in the second characteristic is reluctant to be responsible for his
actions, the words "not me" a rescuer said in the face of something that
is not good or bad. Apart from the responsibility by
saying "I just carry out the duties of superiors" is the most powerful
defense of a mistake made. in Human Indonesia, Mochtar
Lubis said corruption in Pertamina as an obvious example, at which time
hundreds of millions of dollars of state money was corrupted, not to
mention the violations that have been committed by Pertamina line
starting from the CEO down to the bottom layer, but no one demanded. When viewed that wrack the body Pertamina has lasted so long, until some time ago all exposed, though not yet complete. 30 years means it Pertamina run all the dirty practices. Besides
humans Indonesia if it receives something like mengangangkat degree
awards and praise will be immediately accepted, though perhaps one
target in the offering. Indonesian man according depicted
by Mochtar Lubis would not hesitate to come forward to receive a star,
applause, letters of praise, a plaque of appreciation, and so on. The second characteristic of this is already very sad what happened during the 1977 round. but if the author equated with the year 2009, seems this fact is not changed. Just
look at the corruption of mutual blame, do not want to confess and
throw pihakpihak responsibility to another, until it was found that the
corruption running a "congregation", that would be written in some
newspapers. 3. Third, Indonesia is a human characteristic feudal spirit. The third characteristic is the soul Feudal still embedded within the Indonesian Human fertile. It
is said that the values of Feudalism is a legacy of the countries
kingdoms in antiquity in the archipelago, and then taken over by the
colonizers, there are real independence revolution aims to eliminate
feudalism that exist in human beings Indonesia. Sikapsikap
feudal are destructive because a subordinate would assume they are
higher than they are right in every action, lack bolehan in denial even
though it's wrong is one of the evils of feudalism, but it also destroys
human dignity as human beings who are equal with other human beings. as
there is in today, where a subordinate is not polite if your boss
reprimanded for the right reasons, is a form of feudalism, did not hear
those voices that exist under the human voice is the real form of
feudalism that occur in humans in Indonesia. Only the
kingdom is already not the king Rajaraja again as a leader, but has been
renamed to the president, ministers, generals, presidents and other
directors. Obvious that feudalism hamper the process of
human development because not arriving criticism of the leaders of the 2
things that subordinates reluctant to do so and leaders who do not want
to hear a voice from below. 4. Fourth, the Indonesian
people believe the things mystical (superstition) The fourth
characteristic is Indonesia still superstitious man, seems to have
lasted a long time all of this, no question about what happened in the
1977 round. Just try to see the present situation,
broadcast television shows all kinds of magic, kuntilanak, jailangkung,
pocong, genderuwo, and the action of the shaman-healer. Not
to mention the added filmfilm cinema showing all sorts of evil-smelling
title and spirits, and filmfilm big screen is made on the basis of
market demand for the type of horror movie mystery. The
latest of these is the story superstition dukundukun little that can
cure any disease, they found the patient to tens of thousands of people a
day. It was surprising indeed in a state that has been the
modern world and dominated by science and technology as there are still
those who do not expect miracles might be explained by the ratio. Trust
in all sorts keramatkeramat also still exist in Indonesia, and the
perpetrators are manusiamanusia qualified majority also said that
educated. But in response the authors agree with Sarlito
Wirawan, who said in a lecture taggapan against Mochtar Lubis, that of
myth and mysticism is not the monopoly of human Indonesia alone, but an
intrinsic human nature, which is to meet the need for security (security
need). As long as humans are still not able to overcome
the dangers and threats to the Traffic and penghetahuannya science
itself, during which people will still be looking for protection against
the myth and mystique. In the case of humans Indonesia Sarlito Wirawan said that the myths and mystique are more numerous in the "older generation". Because
they do not receive a proper education, but because jasajasanya during
the revolution so they have to fill important positions in government. By
itself the capability and the knowledge that they belong to is not
sufficient to hold that office, and they still feel less "secure" in
their positions hold it, then run them to practice shamanic and
mystical. Among the younger generation such as scholars or
students, it appears that mystical practices were much reduced, although
it can not be said to have disappeared altogether. Sarlito
Wirawan confident with the development of science in our country, the
myth and mystique will dwindle, so what was said by Sarlito Wirawan in
response to human Indonesia Mochtar Lubis style. But it
seems a statement of Sarlito Wirawan apparently missed, the reality in
Indonesia even mystical semkin things emanating from the day-to-day, as
shown by the advent klinikklinik "spiritual healing" (which for this
writer is Suat modernization of shamanic practices using English under
the name of "spiritual healing"). Plus psychology now has
four of his school of transpersonal psychology in which to discuss human
dimension including sprirtual halhal mystique. But in the
true side of mistisme craze is not just a monopoly of Indonesian people
alone but also in western societies with filmfilm smelling exorcism,
vampire, Dracula, zombies, magic-magic like Harry Potter and others. It
seems that all men may have started irrational longer, and enjoy it,
which is possible due to fewer security can have on today's on most
people take the path that lead to irrational to obtain the need for
security. 5. Fifth, human traits Indonesia is the fifth
characteristic of human artistic Indonesia is artistic, artistic, it is
already visible from the rich local culture in Indonesia who in each
region have their respective arts. Art is the result of the culture, so the Indonesian people do have the soul work and loves beauty. Not
to mention discovered peninggalanpeninggalan ancient buildings, such as
stunning candicandi, indicating that the Indonesian people have their
own civilization. even days now Indonesia's music is said
to have "colonized" neighboring country Malaysia, the presence of a form
of boycott of the private radio station in Malaysia, because more often
play songs artist of Indonesia compared to the songs of their own local
artist. besides many original works of the nation that has been exported out of the country and most of it is karyakarya art. So
if the problem of art this nation need not fear, as long as there are
future generations to preserve the traditional arts will always
maintained continuity. 6. Sixth, weak character. Indonesia human less strong in defending and fighting for faith and stance. It makes the human being Indonesia's rapidly changing principle, along with the pressure he got from outside himself. Mochtar Lubis said it is characterized by the existence of intellectual pelacuranpelacuran in many areas. Intellectual
prostitution as an example is the manipulation of results is intended
to maintain an other authority, such as a person's food experts say that
is not dangerous to use a product from a particular manufacturer,
whereas the products sold contain substances that are harmful to
consume, but because it has given wage, then the expert The cover up the
fact and say that there is nothing wrong with the product, so to say as
intellectual prostitution. Which is happening now in the
government is with the policies that are miserable people, experts are
concerned in their respective fields not do anything though know in
reality that the existing policy was wrong, so the experts can be said
to be a prostitute intellect. Not the strong man in
defending the truth will bring disrepute to the wider community,
dikerenakan without truth then there is pembolak-turn that led to
obscurity, so that there is a shifting of values in the society
towards the negative. This characteristic is indeed
impressive sixth menjelekjelekkan own nation, but with all of this is
not expected to be a form of hatred against the nation itself, but
rather as a mirror in the act. While all the translation of
Mochtar Lubis is subjective and does not represent, but it seems that
there is truth in the observation think he has done. According
to ST Sularto (in) had when in 1982 Mochtar Lubis asked to reflect back
"Indonesian people", he firmly said no change. Getting worse. Suppose that the request was conveyed back, when Mochtar Lubis was dead (died July 2, 2004), surely he cried in the afterlife. Indonesian nation is not a nation that dwarf, not a weak nation, but a nation that has yet to show its fangs to the world. Expected
in the future Indonesian man become a great nation, which stands the
same height and the same sitting lower with other nations, although it
was so there, but it's still a part of manusiamanusia Indonesia who do
not feel the same way. Hopefully the writing is far from
perfect and requires a lot of this criticism can be entered for
saudarasaudara, temanteman, friend of fellow countrymen. Other characteristics, the Indonesian people are not saving, wasteful, and happy well dressed and partying. Indonesian people prefer not to work hard, unless forced. He wants to be a millionaire instantly, if necessary by falsifying or buy a college degree in order to rank. Indonesian human tend to be less patient, artisan grumble, and quickly envy. Easily pleased and proud of the things that is hollow. We are, according to Mochtar Lubis, also can be cruel, rampage, kill, betray, burn, and envy. Another bad nature is that we tend bermalasmalas due to our generous nature. My friend, Behind these shortcomings, but the Indonesian people is not bad all the time. There
is also a good human nature in which humans Indonesia Indonesia was
friendly, easy to laugh despite the bitter experience, helpful,
peaceable, gentle heart, dear family, and bonding strength of a large
family (extended family). In addition, the Indonesian
people is easy to learn because it is an intelligent nation (see
Indonesian student achievement in a variety of Olympic-education in the
world), and quick learning skills. From the study of
Mochtar Lubis, despite the controversy in which too menyerderhanakan
(over simplification) because Indonesian culture is so complex, most are
not many truths and values that need to be observed leader. Leaders need to keep an eye on the characteristics mentioned themselves whether there is in us that needs to be fixed. On the other hand we are given insight into how to empower subordinates effectively through understanding of human Indonesia. Hopefully
the social criticism of the late Mochtar Lubis bias spur all of us,
especially those leaders everywhere to improve ourselves as much as
possible so that this nation into a developed nation and good morals. May
we and our descendants children kept away from the properties ugly as
criticism Alm Mochtar Lubis above, and May God always keep us always
having good and do good. YRA Aamiin Wallahualam bissawab
Long live the Republic of Indonesia to 67, and Happy welcome Eid al Fitr
