30 Desember 1999.

Seorang tokoh adat Papua bertanya. "Gus Dur kami bisa kasih naik bendera Bintang Kejora kah?"

"Boleh saja, saya tak larang. Kalian juga punya bendera Persipura. Silakan kibarkan Bintang Kejora asal tidak lebih tinggi dari bendera Merah Putih," jawab Gus Dur.
Adegan dialog itu dicatat AS Hikam dalam buku Gus Durku, Gus Dur Anda, Gus Dur Kita.

Selain itu, Gus Dur yg mengganti nama Irian Jaya menjadi Papua. "Nama Irian itu jelek," kata Gus Dur.

Sebab Irian berasal dari kata bahasa Arab yang artinya telanjang (Urryan).
Pergantian nama Irian jadi Papua itu adl langkah besar dan luar biasa.

Itu menjadi salah satu cara Gus Dur mengembalikan harkat serta martabat rakyat Papua sebagai sesama warga Indonesia.

Masa jabatan Gus Dur memang singkat. Tp meninggalkan kesan sangat mendalam.

Al Fatihah.
