Commission of Four

Created by President Suharto following student protests, it was tasked with reviewing policies and providing recommendations to the government.

[1] The commission consisted of four members — Wilopo (who concurrently served as chairman), I. J. Kasimo, Herman Johannes, and Anwar Tjokroaminoto — as well as a secretary and an advisor, namely Sutopo Juwono and Mohammad Hatta respectively.

After six months of work, the Commission of Four submitted its report and was dissolved by Suharto.

[3] However, the commission's report was leaked to Sinar Harapan a few days after it was submitted.

[2] Input from the commission was not taken seriously, resulting in the bankruptcy of Pertamina in the mid-1970s due to corruption and mismanagement.
