Stake attention in this memory
A framed informational display in a museum in West Jakarta, Indonesia (latitude: -6.138, longitude: 106.815) titled "Bank sebagai alat revolusi", translating to "Banks as a device of revolution". The display features a black and white photo of men in suits and ties seated around a table. The photo is of a meeting during the Indonesian revolution. The text accompanying the photo explains how state banks were expected to subvert the state and function as tools of the revolution in the "Guided Economy" system. It describes the conference of "Struggling Banks" (Bank Berjuang) from Sabang to Merauke, which aimed to keep the banks in line with the goals of the revolution. This display highlights the role of state banks in the struggle of the Indonesian revolution. The text goes on to explain the concept of the "unity of purpose" among banks, the integration between the banks and the struggle of the society. Such concept accompanied the integration among state banks and lead to the establishment of the Unitary Bank under the name of Bank Negara Indonesia, or the State Bank of Indonesia.
