Injo Beng Goat

[2] In early 1939, Injo and fellow Keng Po editor Zain Sanibar were brought to court under a press offence over an article they had printed about the Regent of Pandeglang a year earlier.

[5] Almost immediately Injo was brought before the court once again for an insulting article he printed about Adolf Hitler, calling him a fool who had been unpopular in school, bad with women, constantly having suicidal thoughts, an illegitimate child, and so on.

[3][2] After Indonesia declared independence in 1945, despite Sukarno's former pro-Japanese stance, Injo joined the republican side and often gave pro-independence speeches in Purwokerto.

[11][8] In May 1957, not long after the shift towards so-called Guided Democracy and martial law over the press, Injo was arrested by Indonesian military police for something he had printed in Keng Po.

[16][17] After spending some weeks in military custody, Injo was released under city arrest in Jakarta; he stepped down as editor-in-chief at Keng Po in 1958, finding the position of the paper untenable in the new political situation.

[18] In March 1960 Injo, along with a group of ten Peranakan intellectuals which included Ojong, Ong Hok Ham and Tjung Tin Jan published a manifesto in Star Weekly entitled "Towards voluntary assimilation" (Indonesian: Menudju ke Asimilasi jang Wadjar) which opposed the politics of integration advanced by Siauw Giok Tjhan and others and suggested a policy of gradual and consensual assimilation into Indonesian society as a solution to ethnic conflict.
