An Indonesian legal-affairs explainer site's account of Confucianism's official status in Indonesia: recognised in 1965 under Law No. 1/PNPS/1965 on the Prevention of Religious Abuse, which named Confucianism alongside Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism and Buddhism as a religion held by the Indonesian population; stripped of that recognition by Presidential Instruction No. 14 of 1967, which linked the religion to China and communism and restricted its practice; and restored on 17 January 2000 by President Abdurrahman Wahid's Presidential Decree No. 6 of 2000, which revoked the 1967 instruction, alongside his declaration of Chinese New Year as a national holiday and his affirmation of ethnic Chinese citizens' equal rights.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
An Indonesian legal-explainer publication, tier 3, citing named statutes and decree numbers by their own legal designations rather than paraphrase; its 2000 date and decree number are corroborated by Indonesia's official state secretariat legal database (jdih.setkab.go.id, Kepres No. 6/2000, established 17 January 2000), reached only as a search result rather than a direct page fetch, so it is named here as corroboration rather than minted as its own source entity. NotesUsed for Confucianism's 1965 recognition, 1967 de-recognition and 17 January 2000 restoration in Indonesia, with the exact statute and decree numbers.
