Which president signed the restrictive instruction on Imlek before Wahid annulled it?

  • Sukarno

  • Habibie

  • Megawati

  • Suharto

Answer

**Suharto, Indonesia's second president, imposed restrictions on the celebration of Imlek, the Chinese New Year, in 1967.** This ban was part of his broader policy of assimilation aimed at promoting national unity and suppressing ethnic and cultural diversity. The restrictions included prohibiting the public display of Chinese characters, the use of Mandarin in public, and the celebration of Imlek in public spaces.
