Naturally, if West Kalimantan residents were really disappointed there were those who labeled Sultan Hamid II Alkadrie as a “NIDITOR OF NATION” while they were breathing in the sovereignty of the country championed by Sultan Hamid, using the emblem of the emblem of the state by Sultan Hamid and enjoying regional autonomy, the fruit of Sultan Hamid’s struggle.
He dared to attach the body. Dare to go to jail. Dare his name buried in the mud of history. Dare to assume Bung Karno until he guides the shahadah in his last days. Pure fellow children of the Nation. Fellow fighters of the Republic of Indonesia.
For current national figures, both at the central and regional levels, the figure of Sultan Hamid II is loved by all groups in Indonesia. Look at the thousands of people who want to be present watching the trial. Though he was detained without trial for years, so that the memory of the population eroded faintly. Something that really intrigues me at that time to reveal the opaque history of the present. (*Teacher in remote West Kalimantan: SMPN 3 Belitang Hilir, Sekadau.
