INDONESIA president who rarely known

MAYBE there are many of you who think that Indonesia until now only led by six presidents, namely Soekarno,

Suharto, B.J. Habibie, K.H. Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur), Megawati, and now President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY). But it turned out to be wrong. Indonesia, according to historical records, to date has actually been led by eight presidents. Well, how come? Then who the two others who had led Indonesia?
Two figures were missed it is Sjafruddin Prawiranegara and Mr. Assaat. Both are not mentioned, either because the negligent, but may also be deliberate. Sjafruddin Prawiranegara is Leader Emergency Government of the Republic of Indonesia (PDRI) when President Sukarno and Moh. Hatta arrested by the Dutch at the start of the second military aggression, while Mr. Assaat is the current President of the republic became part of the Republic of Indonesia (1949).

On December 19, 1948, when the Dutch military aggression II with the attack and held the capital of Indonesia in Yogyakarta at the time, they managed to arrest and detain President Soekarno, Moh. Hatta, Indonesia and other leaders and then exiled to the island of Bangka. News of the arrest of the leaders of Indonesia Sukarno and was heard by Sjafrudin Prawiranegara then served as Minister of Welfare and was in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra.

Mr. Sjafruddin Prawiranegara

To fill the power vacuum, Sjafrudin proposed the formation of an emergency government to carry on the government of Indonesia. In fact, when it's Soekarno - Hatta sent a telegram reads, "We, the President of the Republic of Indonesia announces that on Monday, December 19, 1948 6 o'clock in the morning the Netherlands have begun serangannja Capital Jogjakarta. Whereas the government in a state can not execute the kewajibannja again, we authorize to Mr. Sjafruddin Prawiranegara, Minister of Welfare RI to form emergency government in Sumatra ".

But when that telegram was not up to Bukittinggi. However, it turns out at the same time has taken the initiative Sjafruddin Prawiranegara matching. In a meeting at a house near the canyon Sianok Bukittinggi, December 19, 1948, he proposed the formation of an emergency government (emergency government). Sumatra Governor Mr. T.M. Hasan approved the proposal "to save the Republic of Indonesia which was in danger, that emptiness head of government, which are required to be recognized internationally as a country".

On December 22, 1948, in Halaban, about 15 km from Payakumbuh, PDRI "proclaimed". Sjafruddin sits as chairman / president and concurrently Minister of Defence, Information, and Foreign Affairs, ad. interim. Kabinatenya assisted Mr. T.M. Hasan, Mr. B.C. Rasjid, Mr. Lukman Hakim, Ir. Mananti Sitompul, Ir. Indracahya, and Marjono Danubroto. The General Sudirman remained as Commander of the Armed Forces.

Sjafruddin handed back the mandate to President Soekarno on July 13, 1949 in Yogyakarta. Thus, ended the history of the PDRI for approximately eight months to continue the existence of the Republic of Indonesia.

Mr. Assaat

In agreement Round Table Conference (RTC), which was signed in the Netherlands, December 27, 1949 it was decided that the Netherlands transferred sovereignty to the Republic of Indonesia (RIS). RIS consists of 16 states, one of which is the Republic of Indonesia. Other states such as Pasundan State, State of East Indonesia, and others.
Because of Sukarno and Moh. Hatta has been determined to be the President and Prime Minister of the RIS, it means there is a leadership vacuum in the Republic of Indonesia.

Assaat is Stakeholder While Title President. Assaat very important role. If there is no RI at the time, meant there was a vacancy in the history of Indonesia, that Indonesia had disappeared and then appeared again. However, recognizing the existence of Representatives in the RIS that only a few months, it appears that the history of the Republic of Indonesia since 1945 was never interrupted until now. We know that later RIS merged into the Republic of Indonesia on August 15, 1950. That means, once Assaat President took office about nine months.

Thus, the President is the president of the RI-8. The order of the President are as follows: Soekarno (punctuated by Sjafruddin Prawiranegara and Assaat), Suharto, BJ Habibie, Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati, and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
