context_page_description: National Hero of Indonesia is the highest-level title awarded in Indonesia. It is posthumously given by the Government of Indonesia for actions which are deemed to be heroic, defined as "actual deeds which can be remembered and exemplified for all time by other citizens" or "extraordinary service furthering the interests of the state and people". The Ministry of Social Affairs gives seven criteria which an individual must fulfill, as follows:
  Have been an Indonesian citizen who is deceased and, during his lifetime, led an armed struggle or produced a concept or product useful to the state;
  Have continued the struggle throughout his life and performed above and beyond the call of duty;
  Have had a wide-reaching impact through his actions;
  Have shown a high degree of nationalism;
  Have been of good moral standing and respectable character;
  Never surrendered to his enemies; and
  Never committed an act which taints his or her legacy.
  Nominations undergo a four-step process and must be approved at each level. A proposal is made by the general populace in a city or regency to the mayor or regent, who must then make a request to the province's governor.
