Which three-point student protest demand (Tritura), mobilized by KAMI and KAPPI outside Merdeka Palace in January 1966, catalyzed the transition to the New Order?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Dissolution of PKI, Cabinet Reshuffle, and Lowering Commodity Prices
- Step 1: Tri Tuntutan Rakyat (Tritura) was formulated by student action fronts on 10 January 1966. Step 2. The three demands were: 1) Dissolution of PKI (Bubarkan PKI); 2) Purging the Dwikora Cabinet of communist sympathizers (Bersihkan Kabinet Dwikora); and 3) Lowering food and fuel prices (Turunkan harga sandang pangan). Answer: Dissolution of PKI, Cabinet Reshuffle, and Lowering Commodity Prices. Why not the others: Students demanded reinstating UUD 1945, not abolishing it.
