Talk:Administrative divisions of Indonesia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Yogyakarta Special Region
The status is granted to the province because it is considered that Yogyakarta have made an invaluable contribution to the Republic of Indonesia both before and after the Indonesian Declaration of Independence in 1945. I the above, because it's subjective (the provinces other than Yogyakarta also made invaluable contribution, anyway). The fact was, when Sukarno declare Indonesian independence, the "state" of Yogyakarta existed at that time within Indonesia, so it should have a special status. wic2020talk bicara 11:30, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
