History
Predecessor Dwikora III Cabinet
Successor Ampera II Cabinet

The Ampera Cabinet (Indonesian : Kabinet Ampera) was the Indonesian cabinet which served under President Sukarno and later on acting president Suharto from July 1966 until October 1967. The cabinet was formed after the Provisional People's Consultative Assembly (MPRS) session of 1966 which commissioned Suharto to form a new cabinet. [1] Although Sukarno would not be removed from the presidency for some months, for all intents and purposes, the person who was truly in charge of the cabinet, and Indonesia by this point, was Suharto.

<i>Supersemar</i> 1966 document signed by Indonesian President

The Order of Eleventh March, commonly referred to by its syllabic abbreviation Supersemar, was a document signed by the Indonesian President Sukarno on 11 March 1966, giving army commander Lt. Gen. Suharto authority to take whatever measures he "deemed necessary" to restore order to the chaotic situation during the Indonesian mass killings of 1965–66. The abbreviation "Supersemar" is also a play on the name of Semar, the mystic and powerful figure who commonly appears in Javanese mythology including wayang puppet shows. The invocation of Semar was presumably intended to help draw on Javanese mythology to lend support to Suharto's legitimacy during the period of the transition of authority from Sukarno to Suharto.
