Indonesia and Malaysia both chose Secular paths, and are secular Republic States
Pakistan is a Islamic Republic. Even Turkey the most powerful Muslim Majority Country is Secular and doesn't have a state religion.
When you try and mix Religion with Politics thats where things go wrong, I hope people understand this. State should be separate from Religion.
We are not secular, just in between. We have ministry that works for Muslim for instant. This ministry is there to serve Muslim and its related matters (haj, marriage, ect). Religious matter is still in some way in the hand of government like marriage. I think it is the best version. And even for Aceh province we apply Shariah.

Whereas the struggle of the Indonesian independence movement has reached the blissful point of leading the Indonesian people safely and well before the monumental gate of an independent Indonesian State which shall be free, united, sovereign, just and prosperous,
By the grace of
ALLAH Almighty and urged by the lofty aspiration to exist as a free nation,
Now therefore, the people of Indonesia declare herewith their independence,
In Indonesian language:
