Muhammadiyah recognised Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X as one of the four Pillars of Privileges in Yogyakarta, but conceptually in various manuscripts, Muhammadiyah nomenclature is often forgotten. Who knows who should be responsible, in different academic documents of UUKY and raperdais does not appear the historical role of Muhammadiyah. The follow-up problem is, often the structure of Muhammadiyah radijak rembugan. This is also understandable because for the Muhammadiyah people not to stutter to see the privilege practices that tick the swimmer.
Compared to other Pillars of the Palace, students’ parks, and UGM, Muhammadiyah is the least involved in the policy-making process in the regions. In fact, the involvement of groups who are not from the four Pillars tends to be more aggressive to move to the Palace to get the coffers of Privileges. As we know, there are hundreds of billions of funds each year that can be accessed by building a particular affinity with the “Budget User Agent” or KPA.
In practice also pushed the “war” of ideology to obtain the portion of proximity to the palace. The Islamic group is not a single voice, and also the international group may also be fragmented, but there is quite clearly a Constantly between Islam vs Kasebul. Another meeting point is a group of DPD RI that frames the Islamic group with different ideological spectrum, but legitimately political all members of DPD RI from Jogja is under the “power” of Queen Hemas. Including DPD Muhammadiyah representatives, very visible not free to defend the interests of the region if not wanted a queen.
How to explain the cultivation attitude of Muhammadiyah associations related to the implementation of Privileges that have entered the fourth year (2013-2016). One thing to note, which gives the historical role of DI Yogyakarta especially in the field of people’s education, social services, And the pulse of economic breath in Yogyakarta especially from 3K: kauman, karangkajen, and Kotagede. The role of the economy along with the renewal of Islamic thought became the most important legacy – how Islam can coexist with tradition but have a rising ethos. If HB X has the idea of ​​9 Renaissance streets Jogja, in fact, most of the views have been done by KH A Dahlan which continued by Muhammadiyah to this day. From the hands of cold hands of Muhammadiyah citizens, Jogja emerged in the city of current economic trade activities (modern supermarket), also gave birth to a class of merchant or bourgeoisie santri with human generosity ethos.
The behaviour of Muhammadiyah that keeps the distance from the project Privileges can be explained thus. First, the independent character that becomes the work ethic of Muhammadiyah justifies the attitude of not asking for the state project to sustain the organisation’s needs. This approach of keeping this independence becomes a marker of its position as a real civil society force. This character was once mentioned by researchers from South Korea, Prof. Kim Jung-Hun.
Muhammadiyah, if categorised, is not part of the privilege, it refuses or supports the privileged status of having a foothold on employing indicators of justice and humanity not on the historical aspect such as Muhammadiyah was born in Jogja and Kyai Dahlan Abdi dalem family. It is also a rich egalitarian character in the actions of most Muhammadiyah members.
Secondly, because the middle-class character represented by Muhamadiyah is an entity that firmly believes in the mechanism of Democracy (Klinken, 2015) then it could be the cause is the lack of involvement of DIY Government in the design of the implementation of Privileges. Can be understood, in the field of political politics, Muhammadiyah more often behaves like a heart more frequently interact with various interest groups (interest group).
Thirdly, there is a critical reading that the privilege scheme as a problem that has not yet finished, especially concerning elite Muhammadiyah communication with the government of DIY where still strong impressed party supported Muhammadiyah citizens are not “comfortable” with the existence of this UUKY.
Muhammadiyah residents have enough information about the dynamics of the Palace so that there is an uproar when approaching will be part of the problem and not part of the solution. The closing of the palace in the case of public information is also another factor in the lack of participation of Muhamadiyah. Indeed, if an institution financed by the State Budget (APBN) including the Yogyakarta Sultanate and the Pakualaman Duchy are obliged to grant access to the public regarding the progress of its performance.
If we look for the closeness of thought and work agenda between the Government of DI Yogyakarta with Muhammadiyah is a similarity in the movement of enlightenment (renaissance) which is now more popular with the term Islam-Indonesia move better. The progressive ethos formulated by Muhammadiyah with 9 Jogjakarta renaissance roads has many facets of similarity. If you go hand in hand, there is hope
