Isi tanggapa…

Still fresh in my memory on my late father cremation ceremony,how his old comrades saluted him in the cemetery in their yellowish veteran uniforms and after the ceremony how most of our old fighters catching public transport to go home.

Recently i have lost an uncle, again i have witness repeated scene, on the way i have passed a group of our old fighters on their old rusty push bike,have they been looked after?Do their pure soul need to change to become politician to be looked after?

Our veteran (the real one) knows Ide Anak Agung Gede Agung chooses the opposite side to Igusti Ngurah Rai and his team, the real National Hero.
How can Ide Anak Agung Gede Agung be Equal to Igusti Ngurah Rai when he is under the Dutchs Payroll all those time, and how can we explain to those families who has been rampaged and torture and their belonging has been savaged including the family keris by Ide Anak Agung Gede Agung team just because their supported Igusti Ngurah Rai and his team. Its always two side of a coin , but both can not be in same side.Its just not “adds up”

The course he chose to take makes sense to me. However, I wouldn’t
call it heroic, not by a long shot. Political, yes. Astute, yes.
Strategically clever for his own interests, yes. Self-serving and
effectively so, yes. Heroic, no.

Of course, I don’t have any place judging such a person, whose
experiences (and consequent choices) are so alien from my own.
Nevertheless, I wouldn’t put him on the top of a list of candidates
for Pahlawan Nasional (National Heroes). The story and the
circumstances are too complex and ambiguous to match with the term
“hero”.

If considering Balinese “heroes” of recent times, I would be more
inclined to make a short list which included among others Ibu Gedong
Bagus Oka, Ida Pedanda Gede Ketut Keniten, and Anak Agung Made Jelantik.

The uproar that has arisen about AAGA being “heroized” says it all.

It says, “no”.

Seolah olah tak kunjung henti bangsa ini mendapat cobaan berat. Cita cita besar reformasi rupanya mendapat ujian yang tak kalah sengitnya dibanding perjuangan merebut kemerdekaan berikut dengan gerakan revolusinya itu.
Kenangan heroik masa lalu senanti…

At the same time Indonesian political position was getting stronger. Thats why AA Gde Agung decided to advocate Indonesia.

Maybe Leirissa should go back in year 1946 when AA Gde Agung was put him self againts the Indonesian strugle.

On top of all, I really like to read that book written by Leirissa. Is any body here has the information where I can find that book? I’ll try Gramedia first.
