MOBILISATIONS AND COUNTER-MOBILISATIONS OF STATE AND SOCIETY 185member MPR would be filled with compliant politicians, Suharto stalwarts <strong>and</strong>family members. Given his comm<strong>and</strong><strong>in</strong>g control of <strong>Indonesia</strong>n politics, ananalyst at the time might have been forgiven for conclud<strong>in</strong>g that the mount<strong>in</strong>gpre-election opposition <strong>and</strong> violence was fairly <strong>in</strong>consequential to the overallpolitical process. 87The PPP chairman <strong>and</strong> leaders did compla<strong>in</strong> about vote rigg<strong>in</strong>g after the poll,with several branches threaten<strong>in</strong>g to boycott the election results. In some parts ofthe country, PPP supporters rioted <strong>in</strong> protest over the election result with at leastone rioter be<strong>in</strong>g shot dead. In the district of Sampan, Madura (East Java) thegovernment even conducted an unprecedented re-count of dozens of poll<strong>in</strong>gbooths <strong>in</strong> an effort to assuage PPP tensions. At the end of the day, however, PPP,under Metareum’s leadership, assumed its more characteristicallyaccommodat<strong>in</strong>g stance <strong>and</strong> signed the official election results, which still saw the<strong>Islam</strong>ic-oriented party <strong>in</strong>crease its share of the vote from 1992. In an <strong>in</strong>terview,Metareum admitted that neither a boycott nor protest would measurably alter theestablished political arrangements. 88Was it the case, then, that Golkar’s over-zealous campaign strategy had beenan outst<strong>and</strong><strong>in</strong>g success, as it did garner a robust result for Golkar <strong>in</strong> the face ofris<strong>in</strong>g opposition? To the contrary, analysts had quite correctly perceived at thetime that the Suharto government still had a price to pay for the underly<strong>in</strong>gresentment to its rule, harboured by <strong>Indonesia</strong>’s politically excluded <strong>and</strong>disadvantaged classes. Seismic shifts were dest<strong>in</strong>ed to occur <strong>in</strong> the Tectonicplates of <strong>Indonesia</strong>n politics, as long suppressed resentments of Suharto’s rule<strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong>tra-elite mach<strong>in</strong>ations were eventually to erupt <strong>in</strong>to the open <strong>and</strong> br<strong>in</strong>gabout the demise of President Suharto <strong>and</strong> his New Order. The 1997 electioncontest had set <strong>in</strong> motion a new dynamic, provid<strong>in</strong>g an early example of agitationby <strong>Indonesia</strong>’s excluded lower classes. By identify<strong>in</strong>g with the concerns of<strong>Indonesia</strong>’s hitherto disenfranchised ‘float<strong>in</strong>g mass’, <strong>Indonesia</strong>’s elite therebyhad shifted political competition beyond the predictable boundaries of the NewOrder political system. The ramifications of this shift <strong>in</strong> politics were soon to befelt.NOTES1. By ‘the elite’ I mean the ‘political elite’, which <strong>in</strong>cludes the rul<strong>in</strong>g elite (thepresident <strong>and</strong> his immediate circle) <strong>and</strong> support<strong>in</strong>g elite (m<strong>in</strong>isters, bureaucrats,legislators, politicians, economics advisers <strong>and</strong> the like) with<strong>in</strong> the state. It also<strong>in</strong>cludes leaders of non-government organisations <strong>and</strong> high-profile <strong>in</strong>tellectuals,government opponents, <strong>and</strong> dissidents, who <strong>in</strong>teract with the state elite, arerecognised for their contribution to national discourse, or are <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> elite-levelpolitical negotiation <strong>and</strong> contest.2.

For example, <strong>in</strong> June protesters established an organisationcalled <strong>Indonesia</strong>n Solidarity for Press Freedom (SIUPP—these <strong>in</strong>itials were adeliberate play on the acronym for the press publish<strong>in</strong>g license, also called SIUPP).In August, a group of journalists <strong>and</strong> editors established the Alliance ofIndependent Journalists (AJI) as an alternative to the government-sanctioned<strong>Indonesia</strong>n Journalists Association (PWI). From June to August, journalists,students, NGO groups <strong>and</strong> other pro-democracy forces held a series ofdemonstrations aga<strong>in</strong>st the closures. Although the demonstrations met with policerepression, ABRI permitted a student protest to reach the gates of the PresidentialPalace.8. The Limits of Openness, p.11.9.
