President Soekarno made an appeal to Cleber to compose a symphonic rendition of 'Indonesia Raya'. Until then, there was no orchestral rendition of the anthem. 'Jos' Cleber (34 years old), in his hometown was an experienced arranger for popular songs, and also successfully for Indonesian pop song arrangements, like Di Bawah Sinar Bulan Purnama and Rangkaian Melati, was asked to make a new arrangement the 'Indonesia Raya' anthem by President Soekarno in 1950. Jozef Cleber a Dutch musician that arrived with a patron of 46 persons of Philharmonic Orchestra under direction of Yvon Baarspul was sent by the Netherlands Government to help the Indonesian Government for music development in Jakarta. According to Yo, Supratman had also given him the rights to sell record copies of 'Indonesia Raya' through his store Toko Populair. Yo was unable to bring the original back but was able to bring home a copy. However, before Yo was able to do so, Dutch colonial authorities had imposed a ban on the song. With Supratman's consent, Yo created a copy of the song on a gramophone record overseas in order to obtain the best sound quality with the intention of bringing the copy back to Indonesia. Р”Р„ businessman friend of his, Yo Kim Tjan, also expressed interest in recording 'Indonesia Raya'. All one thousand copies of the manuscript were sold within a short amount of time to his friends and family. Supratman personally printed and distributed copies of the song with its new title through pamphlets. In 1929, Wage Rudolf Supratman changed the title of his song to 'Indonesia Raya' and appended the phrase National Anthem of Indonesia below it, but the text of the song did not change. This was followed by the Sin Po Chinese weekly on 10 November. On 7 November 1928, the Soeloeh Ra'jat Indonesia daily published the text to the song. The press also played a key role in the publication of the song.

DistributionР”Р‡ollowing the Second Youth Congress, the text of Indonesia was distributed by many political and student organizations.

Supratman first performed Indonesia on the violin on 28 October 1928 during the Second Indonesian Youth Congress. He kept the script to himself because he felt that it was not the appropriate time to announce it. After receiving encouragement from the conference leader Sugondo Djojopuspito, Supratman played on the violin the song Indonesia with the hope that it would someday become a national anthem. Supratman, who was also a musician and also a teacher, was inspired by the meetings and intended to write a song for the conference.

Supratman promised them this, and the organizers allowed him free access to the event. The organizers wanted to avoid suspicion so that the Dutch would not ban the event. Upon hearing about the efforts, young reporter Wage Rudolf Supratman contacted the organizers of Congress with the intention of reporting the story, but they requested that he not publish the story from fear of Dutch colonial authorities. In 1928, youths from across Indonesia held the first Indonesian Youth Congress, an official meeting to push for the independence of the nation.
