[edit] Karya
What does Karya mean in Indonesian? I always thought it meant "work of art". Ryan Albrey (talk) 01:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Karya isn't restricted to art... it can be productivity/creativity in other realms. Smilo Don (talk) 05:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Party?
The article constantly makes use of the idea of Golkar as a political party. This seems a bit strange to me. Way back when, when I learned a bit about Golkar, I got the impression that Golkar was at its inception (and especially when it became Suharto's pet) a sort of non-party party. That is it pretended to be above politics, hid behind the Pancasila, yada yada. Thus, "golongan" (group). I suppose one can New Order Indo. as de facto single party state, with Golkar the political party. No problem in saying that, or in treating Golkar analytically as a political party... the only question pertains to Golkar's self-presentation as something above/beyond politics. Perhaps someone with a long view/memory of Golkar could edit or comment? Smilo Don (talk) 05:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
