Daniel Alexander Maukar (20 April 1932 ‒ 16 April 2007)[1] was a pilot in the Republic of Indonesia Air Force (AURI) known for shooting at the State Palace on 9 March 1960.[2] Although initially brought before a military court and threatened with the death penalty, Maukar received a pardon from then President Sukarno. Instead of the original death sentence, he was sentenced to 8 years' imprisonment. At the beginning of the New Order, Maukar was released by Suharto, who had just taken office as the second President of Indonesia.
