Haji Kamardi Rais Datuk Panjang Simulie

History Recorded the Scattered

By Yurnaldi

Through the book The Old Engine Type, Haji Kamardi Rais Datuk Panjang Simulie noted the wealth of history that is rarely found in other history books. Numerous historical accounts of fallen he says in the book.
During the launch and book review that was held in Padang Literary Community activists (KPSP), March 11 last, the invitation to remain seated when the show ended. People's feeling of respect to Datuk Simulie, Indigenous Stakeholders Minang a respected this.

In this book he, for example, tells about the Bung Hatta. When we did not see in other reading books about the relationship with the Government Emergency Hatta Republic of Indonesia (PDRI), or how the role of the Bung Hatta in the Emergency Government, Datuk Simulie provide answers, based on records of more than 30 years ago.

When he was active in the world of journalism and interviewing Mr. Prawiranegara Sjafruddin, leader of the Emergency Government (1948-1949) and leader of the Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia or PRRI in the year 1958-1961.

"When I asked, he admitted that he never received the mandate from President Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, Vice President. That is a mandate that gives the right to Mr. Prawiranegara Sjafruddin to form an emergency government in Sumatra (PDRI). Sjafruddin time as Minister of Prosperity RI was in Bukittinggi, "explained Datuk Simulie.

According Sjafruddin, as quoted Datuk Simulie, strategies and concepts of Emergency Government is actually the concept of Bung Hatta. Homeland situation when it was more serious and there are signs that the RI-Dutch negotiations would face a stalemate.

Sijobang: Sung Narrative Poetry of West Sumatra (Cambridge Studies in Oral and Literate Culture)According to the concept of Bung Hatta, the President will lead the government of Indonesia abroad. Hatta will lead an emergency government in Sumatra. While Dr Sukiman, Kiai Masykur, Susanto, General Sudirman, Simatupang, and AH Nasution will still lead the guerrillas on the island of Java.

After the Tapanuli, November 1948, Bung Hatta said, "Sjaf! Condition grew worse. Tone-tone straddling the Netherlands want the Renville Agreement. I was asked back to Yogya, Bung Karno. Sjaf lived here first. The concept we're already there. Stay we perform only. I'll come again. "

According to Datuk Simulie, what is called the strategy now like Kato urang Hatta Minang, "For those already in paruik Prawiranegara Sjafruddin prince."

Book Walk

The Case for Christ: A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for JesusDatuk Simulie even 73 years ago on March 12. In seuzur age, the father of 11 children has a sharp memory, and it still continues to write.

Datuk Simulie only educated up to secondary school level up. From his father, Datuk Rais H Machudung which he calls "local politicians", he received encouragement to learn a lot about life, including political issues.

He is now often referred to as a "book walk". If you told me about something, we listen to his explanation how to read a book. However, his explanation still more interesting than the book because he almost always told while imitating the style, intonation, and vocal person.

More than that, as a Stakeholder Traditional Minang Datuk Simulie is a person who is always anxious and concerned about the condition of Minangkabau adat and culture. He will be quick to respond whenever there is discussion concerning the Minangkabau adat and domains. Thanks to his old typewriter, ideas, exposure, reviews, and commentary were often read in print media publications in West Sumatra.

Speaking of Minangkabau adat, the customary speech rich with rhyme-rhyme, proverb-petatah, and so forth, Datuk Simulie is also one of the initiators and founders of the Institute and the Natural Density of Traditional Minangkabau (LKAAM) 40 years ago is very controlling. Therefore, he believed for a second time to be chairman of shoot density of Traditional Leadership and Institutions of Natural Minangkabau (LKAAM) West Sumatra from 2005 to 2010 period.

Until now, one that continues Simulie Datuk desire voiced since tens of years ago was how to revise Section lease rights (HGU) in Act No. 5 of 1960. The reason, the Minangkabau have heritage of customary law governing the matter of communal land or high pusako villages (the lowest government in Sumatra).

"Land in Minangkabau is lebensraum (room to live) and where he berkubur. The land is communal property, not only to be used by people who live today, but also cater for the next generation. Therefore, communal land should be passed on intact to future generations pelanjutnya , "said Datuk Simulie too.

In the age of 73 years, Datuk Simulie still strong in the office every day, even to attend and deliver remarks at various events.

Psmith, JournalistAs a journalist three times, the former Chief Editor of Daily Morale in Padang, West Sumatra branch of the former Chairman of PWI, and once a member of Provincial, Datuk Simulie still often invited convey thoughts and ideas in various aspects of life. Including appear to be guest speaker in various discussion forums, seminars, and workshops of national and international levels in various cities in Indonesia and abroad.

"One thing is very instrumental in this was my old typewriter, which since the 1970s up to now I still wear. For me, the tinkling sound of an old typewriter that has come to give inspiration to write the article line by the various print media," he said. Source KOMPAS, WEDNESDAY 19 APRIL 2006

Syahrul Tarun Yusuf


Minang Song Popularity
By Yurnaldi
At one time, around the year 1960 until the 1970s, Minang songs ever victorious and became popular songs in the country. Minang people are not only fans but also people of other ethnicities, even residents of Malaysia's neighbors.
Until now, the songs still sounded Minang played everywhere. Elly Kasim's name, Erni Djohan, Nuskan Syarief, Lily Syarief, Tiar Ramon, for example, many people would memorize poems Minang song they've ever popularize.
If there Minang songs that survive and more popular 30 years, hosted by singing a few filters and recorded many times, until the poem memorized by many people, surely it works Tarun, or a full hood Syahrul Tarun Joseph (often also Satayu abbreviated).
"The songs are created Tarun year 1960 until the 1970s has now become a classic Minang song, still appreciated by the public," said Edy culturalist Main, Monday, January 28, 2002, in Padang.
According to Edy President who is also Chairman of the Arts Council of West Sumatra (DKSB), there are two reasons why the songs of creation Tarun survive tens of years and became a classic Minang song. First, he was very appreciate and understand the culture of Minang-kabau. He was smart to learn from nature, taking nature as symbols of his power. Second: in Minang songs he describes his creation with a very strong collective sense of Minang society. No wonder his songs became very close and impressive with a lot of people.
"Minang song composers are now unable to do that. Naturally, there are no songs popular Minang, unless the works Tarun, "he added.
Similar assessments are disclosed Syuhendri, artists who also holds a mamak ninik progenitor, who was contacted separately in Nagari Balingka, Agam District. He said, "Tarun song lyrics of rich inner experience many people who expressed a strong literary values, so impressive and well liked."
According Syuhendri, singer Elly Kasim popular and can survive as a singer Minang is because the works of Tarun.
For Tarun, is an unexpected, if over a hundred of his songs, the songs became popular, became a classic and timeless songs in Minang society today.
"I embrace the precautionary principle, the origin is not so in creating songs. I have learned much from nature and culture of the Minangkabau. Plus experience, so come feeling, be on track, "he said at his home in Nagari Balingka, Agam regency, West Sumatra.
He revealed, until now there have complaints that are still stored and poetry, according to him, yet can be used as a song. "Minang songs which have become no more less than 300 songs. Who has not be around 100, "said Tarun, while showing the song list, year built, the singer who popularized, and record producer, who Yayasan Karya Cipta Indonesia issued.
His songs have included "Bugih Lamo", "Kasiah Not Up", "Bapisah Bukannyo Bacarai", "Please Mande", "Ranah Balingka", "Gasiang Tangkurak", "Wheels Padati", "Kabau Padati", "Stone Tagak" , "Aia Mato Mande", "father", "Bungo Cinto", "Bungo Bapaga", "Beetle batali", "In Taluak Bayua", "Samalam in India", "Takuik", "'s stay Kampuang", "Oto Triarga "," Alang Bangkeh "," Wind Sarugo "," BUYUANG Boneh "," Cak Cak Suruik Sarak "," Caraikan Denai "," Rain "," Kanai Sijundai "," Minang Maimbau I "," Minang Maimbau II ", "Bagaluik", "Saputiah Heart", "Shipwrecked in Lauik Cinto", "Jatuah Tapai", "Tigo Gayo Balam," and "Pakiah Geleang".
Tarun Songs creation more popularized by singer Elly Kasim and Lily Syarief. A small part by Erni Djohan, Tiar Ramon, Kardi Cape, Edi rostrum, and also popularized a versatile singer, Hetty Koes Endang. Lyrics of his songs, because it was so popular, legendary, and is considered a classic, the subject of study for the thesis of the student from the University of Andalas, Padang. Also be a follower of teachings of Sufism study materials.
In creating, Tarun not to lapa-researched, and with special learning. To create the song "Gasiang Tangkurak", for instance, he went up against clever (shaman) to study the skull tops, go into the woods and meditating. If she will mencu-kupkan terms, ie play a top of the skull, "transparent" is the science which he demanded. "Conditions that one I did not do, because of my initial intentions for the good. The song "Gasiang Tangkurak" and "Kanai Sijundai", which I created based on the experience goal to move people, especially among the young, do not do that, "said Tarun.
Literary value of the songs that she lifted from the incantations of the shamans, adapted to the natural rhythm of the song later made. He added, "Initially, I make the song sung for singer Tiar Ramon, but Elly Kasim asks for love and feel comfortable. After the singer popularized Elly Kasim, now back to the song popularized by singer Andi Honor. "
For any commercial purposes, a number of other creators of "cutting up" the rhythm of poetry and song creation Tarun. Should, according to Tarun, creator or youth music generation can now look for vocabulary or a new phrase, but have the same meaning.
"The song also became the identity of the creator. Than called imitators, impersonators, cheater, and so forth, better create new poetry, although its meaning the same as the old one, "he said.
One thing that makes Tarun, son Balingka the birth March 12, 1942, is concerned about is the number of pop songs that poem changed into the language of Minangkabau, known Pop Minang. Should, Minang realm of music artists to think how to make popular Minang songs, songs can be sung / popularized by everyone.
Completed the SR in Balingka and once in junior high school, SMEP, and INS Kayutanam, and to finish high school in Bukittinggi, Tarun who claimed to love to create poetry and watching Minang saluang arts with singing, in creating his works be inverted again and again, lest there are similarities with the work of others, both verses wanted any rhythm. In the process of creating, he often sang old singing-new look for his verse, or otherwise create a new first verse and then find their rhythm.
Tarun creation of the first song recorded was "Bugih Lamo," which until now has been on-record 11 times. Year 1996, the song won her award HDX. The song is up now becoming popular in Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam, with a poem that is transferred to the Indonesian language and changed the title of "Old Songs."
Nice to his works "valued" and "to live" with others, Tarun holds the principle would not condescending to his works. Modestly, according to him, would make God angry, because the ideas in creating the song is He who gives.
Therefore've done a lot for the arts Minang, in 2001 the father of seven children of the marriage-Misnani winannya with the origin of Makassar and the ka-kek of three grandchildren won Anugerah carts from the City Government Tourism Bukittinggi .*

By Sahrul N
Conditioning for DanceAli Sukri a dance performance entitled "The bride Waves" is a cultural cleavage through the icons universalised motion. Property in such a way as to form grooves that life is always moving without interruption and to the various meanings of human life. Only through a large plastic sheet, the show is filled with inner conflicts of man, especially men who are stricken by disasters. In this case the tragedy of Aceh became the main inspiration of this show. Civil war is not over yet another disaster comes barely anything left. However, this is all there is silver lining. God seemed not bear to see suffering people of Aceh due to a war that never ended. Lord ask for her hand, and keep him away from the arena of war.
"Bride Waves" clearly implies that the disaster that comes from the sea (read: the tsunami) was so heartbreaking and nature seemed to woo the people to be a hero and placed eternity in heaven with his girlfriend. Plastics which floated like a big wave rocked the singing and mourning the dead. Motion graceful dancers who formed the talking bodies, bodies are meaningful.

West Sumatra Never Lack Writer
By Sihar Ramses Simatupang
His name was chosen as one of the artists who won awards from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Minang bloody prose writer this is one artist who consistently worked until his old age.
Literature: An Introduction to Reading and Writing (9th Edition)Upon receiving the award at the Cultural Congress V some time ago, Wisran Hadi could not hide his feelings that flowered. "I am very proud. Terlepaslah how the award and who gave them, "he said.
Other awards ever received came from the Kingdom of Thailand in the form of South East Asia Write Award in 2000. He became the second Minang writer who received the prestigious prize after AA Navis in 1992.
Being a writer may already be a twist of fate. In this case, his father gave a great impact. "My father, Darwas Idris, was a scholar and it is said in those days he was an expert in the hadeeth narrated from two experts in Indonesia. The other one is in Ponorogo hadith experts, "he said.
Time School Teacher of Religion (SGA) - commensurate high school, Wisran been required to read books that have not even fit with the natural mind. In fact, one time in junior class, she was told to read the Bible, the Torah reading, when her father scholars. "I am asked why I was asked to read it, my dad answered, 'So you know'," recalls writer born in Padang, July 27, 1945.
In addition, he also was given a book about Muktazillah flow, the flow of Islamic philosophical. Lots of reading such books, so for Wisran, was very influential for her.
However, the principle of religion is very strong among the Minang community. As philosophy, customs and syarak bersendikan bersendikan syarak Book of Allah. Book of Quran is indeed the rest of life for existing communities in the Valley including Wisran Hadi and his family life.
Novel Delayed
Currently, Wisran was written three novels. However, looks like a road in place. There are still thirty pages, some fifty. Teaching activities as well as an increasing body resistance weakened into one factor. Besides, writing a pending job, he says, are common.
"When the rest of you, I often worked until morning," he said. When asked about the titles of his works that have not published it, with smiles, a playwright who later wrote many novels and short stories were then told that he was not willing to mention the title of his work.
Wisran once wrote a collection of plays titled Four People Melayu contains four plays: "Song Peninsula", "Dara Orange", "Gading Cempaka", and "Cindua Mato" (which makes it awarded the South East Asian (SEA) Write Award in 2000.
His novel has ever recorded, among others, called Guest, Faith, Four Plays The Malays, and Simpang. Short stories are often published in print media and publishers Malaysia recorded titled Mahogany Autumn Leaves Again.
Indonesian Academy of Fine Arts alumnus (now Institut Seni Indonesia) in Yogyakarta, his plays have won 12 manuscripts Writing Competition held dramatizations Indonesia Jakarta Arts Council (DKJ) from 1976 until 1998, joined the International Writing Program at Iowa University, Iowa, USA in 1977 and never followed the observations of modern American theater in 1978 and Japanese theaters in 1987. He also never got the Prize of Literature in 1991 from the Center for Language Development Depdikbud because the work of his play book Straight Literature Prize in 1991 from the Center for Language Development Depdikbud and made the best drama of the book on Poets Nusantara Conference, 1997.
His work was known to be very critical, including in writing about cultural issues in society. For example, when he lifted his plays critically entitled Cindua Mato depicting the figure as a figure of great Bundo Kanduang Minangkabau society or drama that also works the other side of Tuanku Imam Bonjol with heroism and weakness. "I prefer to raise the character of reflection and contemplation rather than just my work on politics and social phenomena only a moment," he said.
Discourse and the New Generation
West Sumatra has become the source of the author in the heyday Balai Pustaka. When present, rarely heard of letters from Minang which acting in the national literature, it appears the opinion that numbers have declined.
Hadi Wisran not agree with such opinions. He said that is irrelevant to compare two different times that. "When asked what the young people now, many books published now, including literary books. But if there are parents who pointed about what is being done by young people, do they never read the works of new writers? "Said Wisran.
He also blamed the press. Why are many people who do not want to press the authors raise young age? In view of Wisran, probably among young people in the field of the press itself, there is a kind of competition in his subconscious with other young people. "Moreover, the poet's eccentric young man, who ultimately was not loved by journalists," said the man who was a visiting professor at the University of Andalas Padang.
But he did not doubt that there are patterns of current discourse, since for him all the generations in the world that way right now, especially in developing countries. He did not even see a decrease in the quality of the discourse of the current generation, there is only change. "That task of observers or journalists, to see their quality, then lost and not published so far," tudingnya to SH.
He then told me there are writers who say that the writer's predecessor in force in 2003 was not the same as the past. "Well why writers today are not like Hamka. Other dong, Hamka Hamka yes, "he said.
The author now, from West Sumatra, just for example, are seen protruding from the past generation from Gus TF Sakai, Munir Dar, Khairul Jasmi and more. They, who do not read the predecessor generation, directly judge finally saw the current generation experiencing a crisis of quality and quantity.
To have a policy, when asked why he does not take part only in the structural arts and culture, Wisran even say, "Not acceptable, not just in art institutions, I even intend to be governor, but there are people who choose not to me. Employment in government, I also want such a high-ranking officials, the use of cars, "he said, with a satirical tone.
What matters, he suggested, in the literature do not have a political mind. Regeneration, to him, is the political mind. In the literature, art and culture, there's no such thing as regeneration. There is no need to pay attention to the younger generation, because there's nothing himself noticed. "If the media or the public's need to deal with the younger generation," he added.
Poets and Celebrities
Wisran then criticize sexuality themes raised by young writers today. "What's the difference with pornography. Oh, he thought he dared to express about it. Cook issues about men and women are disclosed, whereas the prophet Adam, too, the problem did not change too, "said Wisran.
Because the same problem, she wondered if it was disclosed. With the distinction, for Wisran, forms of pornography stimulates the moment, but works of art to stimulate our thoughts.
About the work of the people appointed to the current generation, Wisran another comment. According to him, this is one of the working people of newspapers, who had been impressed not selective in publishing them. Furthermore, he said that the notion of "celebrity" is "the only movie star people", and the most widely rumored is a "woman". That, for him, there is still within the framework of sexuality. "What celebrities have raised issues about his thinking. At most activities who are appointed, it was not thinking, "said Wisran.
Indeed it seems good for the paper. Wisran also claim to love to see. But, with no discourse, news about them in newspapers, twelve o'clock that night was gone and replaced by the news the next day.
"Well, compare with the thinkers of our young ones before, maybe his thinking is wrong, maybe their minds are not perfect, is not unusual. Young people where there is perfect. Why not be the place for them? Why should singer dangdut, the problem of classification is rocking just been made now. For this nation to what it was? "He said.
About the many generations of authors who have established his generation, using a literary phenomenon keselebritian recently, recognized also by Wisran. Perhaps the perpetrator to benefit from the celebrity endorsement like that. ***
Tuanku Imam Bonjol Story
Tuanku Imam Bonjol habit of always asking when his son came home from the battlefield chaplain is a fascinating story, so that the National Writers Wisran Hadi raised this in a TV soap opera.
"Behind the heroism of Imam Bonjol against the Dutch, it turns out from the depths of his heart emits light of human values that the full meaning of holiness. It is worthy of further inherited by the younger generation," said Hadi Wisran at the event about the soap opera dialogue TVRI Imam Bonjol in Padang, Thursday.
This soap opera, according Wisran, will be broadcast on TVRI center next month. Something interesting things from soap operas that made these four episodes are the light of human values emanating from a scholar of Minangkabau origin.
Imam Bonjol soap opera is not the highlight scene `bloody` but which were shown from the other side's thoughts about the clash between the religion and customs in the Bonjol, Pasaman once, "said Wisran.

According Wisran, so the appearance of this soap opera can be seen very well, he was forced to learn intensively about Islam and adat Minangkabau so easy to find problems in order to give birth drama dialogues in order to enrich knowledge.
Wisran interested Tuanku Imam Bonjol picked this story because this is still untapped for more in the nature of the inner personality of Tuanku Imam Bonjol which was very humane, in addition spitualisme character and heroism.
This character of humanism, which also said Wisran lecturer in the University Kebangsaan Malaysia, it is clear once ineffable in history, after the war, Tuanku Imam Bonjol always asking about her children.
"This is actually really touches me because Tuanku Imam Bonjol has a humanitarian nature of the height of his family (his son), in addition to always ride with a sword on the battlefield. This is really an intellectual movement` `sword, he said.
He added that once the government habits, if a fighter captured the Dutch colonialists then they could be crowned as national heroes while others were not necessarily.
Anhar barking, said in sinetrons "Considering Four plays Padri War" was, Wisran well impressed to find her identity as Muslims and as a person the Minang.
"The key issue is not the history of the war against the Dutch clergyman, but the findings of the most important is the struggle within the internal environment between the religions and customs to easily pitted sheep by the Dutch," he said.
Meanwhile, interest in the soap opera that is the interpretation of history by Wisran Hadi, where the cause of discord is not just the Netherlands but came also from the internal religious and customary that.
"This time it shows soap operas Wisran different history can at least primarily in an effort to broaden the meaning of history itself," he said.
Synopsis Four Sinetron "Considering Four plays Padri War" written Wisran Hadi includes four synopsis, which tells about the university Koto Tuo lord, my lord Hunting Renceh Nan, Tuanku Imam Bonjol Recognition and crossing the Sultan Abdul Jalil.
It is said that, my lord Renceh Nan is an important figure in the history of the Padri War with its famous figure in running the firm and harsh religion and became a leader of the Tiger Nan Salapan set of eight well-known universities.
Because the Netherlands is not captured, and the Netherlands providing misinformation to the great man like that Tuanku Nan Renceh brother had killed his mother for not forbidden to eat betel leaves.
Recording the history of the wrong that has caused a young man tried to dive into the life of Nan Renceh lord, but in the end he dragged and lost in history to have to bear the risk of error.
Synopsis Recognition Tuanku Imam Bonjol, where the long struggle full of heroism, treachery ended with the Dutch managed to catch him. He is a reflection of persistence of a leader pin, scholars in Islamic teachings uphold and defend well against invaders.
While it was "crossing the Sultan Abdul Jalil" tells more conflict between the Sultan Abdul Jalli forced to deal with his biological sister myself because pitted Dutch sheep.
Although Bonjol has fallen into the hands of Holland to cripple defenses in Lintau Padri, but Sultan Abdul Jalil persisted in a large mosque with the congregation that nurtured.
