Now if the region is zelfbesturen? For example the Dutch are willing to sign a contract with the Sultan? Then build a plantation? Then the Dutch brought in workers from the colonial territory by force, there was also struggle, but could the Sultan who signed the contract be categorized as Dutch accomplices? Here in my opinion, the historian must have put him right.
Specifically in the context of discussing the title of hero for Sultan Hamid II Alkadrie who until now is still stuck in the Title Council. Deputy Chairperson of the Title Board Prof. Dr. Anhar Gonggong called Sultan Hamid “multiplication”.
There is a Professor of history questioning the “heroism” of Sultan Hamid II because in 1946 there was in the Netherlands the rank of Special Aide, at the same time the Dutch fought in Indonesia. There are two stories of heroism here.
Sultan Hamid II as the Sultan of Pontianak succeeded his father who died against Japan (1941-1944) when Pontianak was not yet a part of Indonesia. If he gets a degree from outside Indonesia, is it against Indonesian rules? While Sultan Hamid sovereign over his own kingdom.
