KOMPAS/FERGANATA INDRA RIATMOKO

Masdik, 78, a Kompas subscriber since 1970, at his home in the village of Condongcatur, Depok, Sleman, Yogyakarta, Saturday (22/6/2019).

Verba volant, scripta manent. Spoken words fly away, written words remain. These are the tales of Kompas’ loyal readers, who have read the newspapers since its earliest days.

Physician Trisno Karmadji, 75, still remembers Kompas’ editorial from Feb.6, 1978, one day after the newspaper’s publication ban was lifted by the New Order authorities. “I still remember a particularly touching sentence [in the editorial]. It read like this: ‘first, we have to live before we philosophize’,” Trisno said.
