Abstrak / Ringkasan
As an intellectual as well as an activist for the independence
movement, talking about one of the founding fathers of the Republic of
Indonesia would certainly be incomplete without discussing the figure of Sutan
Sjahrir. The man who was born in Padang Panjang, West Sumatra is known
as an accomplished diplomat and was one of the prime ministers during the
early period of Indonesian independence. Tracing this matter, it becomes
interesting then to be able to see how the side of his life was from time to time,
such as childhood and youth, his actions as an independence figure, until the
end of his life, this was an effort to then perpetuate the works that what he
did, and how then the values that he upheld to become an inspiration for later
generations to emulate the figures and figures of Bung Kecil, Sutan Sjahrir's
nickname.
