Sarekat Islam was established in 1905
This dates Sarekat Islam too early. Sources distinguish the precursor Sarekat Dagang Islam from Sarekat Islam itself, which was formally established under that name in 1912.
Full reasoning
The statement conflates Sarekat Islam (SI) with its earlier precursor Sarekat Dagang Islam (SDI).
An Oxford Academic reference explains that the movement started in 1911 as Sarekat Dagang Islam and only later changed its name to Sarekat Islam. Indonesia’s Directorate General of Culture is even more specific: it says H.O.S. Tjokroaminoto proposed changing the name from SDI to SI, and that SI officially stood on 10 September 1912.
So saying “Sarekat Islam was established in 1905” is inaccurate. At most, some accounts trace earlier roots or precursor activity to the mid-1900s, but the organization called Sarekat Islam was not established under that name in 1905.

Tap MPR No. 11/1983
The MPR decree number is wrong here: the relevant 1983 decree is No. II/MPR/1983, not “11/1983.”
Full reasoning
This appears to be a citation/numbering error.
Official Indonesian legal repositories list the relevant 1983 MPR decree as Ketetapan MPR Nomor II/MPR/1983 (Roman numeral II), not 11/1983. The government’s legal portal for 1983 MPR decrees shows Nomor II/MPR/1983 Tahun 1983 as the GBHN decree. Separately, Law No. 8 of 1985 on Social Organizations, which implemented the asas tunggal Pancasila requirement, explicitly cites Ketetapan MPR Republik Indonesia Nomor II/MPR/1983 as its legal basis.
So the article’s text misstates the decree number. The relevant instrument was II/MPR/1983, not 11/1983.
