On 10 November, Indonesia celebrates Hari Pahlawan or Heroes Day in remembrance of the Battle of Surabaya which started on that very date in the year 1945.

The bloody battle took place because Indonesians refused to surrender their weaponry to British army. British Army at that time was part of the Allied Forces. The defiant Bung Tomo is the well-known revolutionary leader who played a very important role in this battle. It all started because of a misunderstanding between British troops in Jakarta and those in Surabaya, under the command of Brigadier A.W.WS. Mallaby. Brigadier Mallaby already had an agreement with Governor of East Java Mr. Surya. The agreement stated that British would not ask Indonesian troops and militia to surrender their weapons. However, a British plane from Jakarta dropped leaflets all over Surabaya. The leaflet told Indonesians to do otherwise on 27 October 1945. This action angered the Indonesian troops and militia leaders because they felt betrayed.

On 30 October 1945, Brigadier Mallaby was killed as he was approaching the British troops’ post near Jembatan Merah or Red Bridge, Surabaya. There were many reports about the death, but it was widely believed that the Brigadier was murdered by Indonesian militia. Looking at this situation, Lieutenant General Sir Philip Christison brought in reinforcements to siege the city.

Battle of Surabaya caused Indonesia to lose weaponry which hampered the country’s independence struggle. However, the battle provoked Indonesian and international mass to rally for the country’s independence which made this battle especially important for Indonesian national revolution.

What is the passage about ….

• On 27 October 1945, Brigadier Mallaby was killed believed he was murdered by Indonesian militia

• Hari Pahlawan or Heroes Day in remembrance of the Battle of Surabaya

• Because Indonesians accepted to surrender their weaponry to British army

• Brigadier Mallaby and the Governor of West Java Mr.

  Surya agreed that British would not ask Indonesian troops and militia to surrender

• The city was conquered within 5 days and the whole battle lasted for 10 weeks

Talaga Warna

Long ago there was a kingdom in West Java. The kingdom was ruled by a king called Prabu.Prabu was a kind and wise king, and there was no hunger in his kingdom. But Prabu and his queen didn’t have any children. It made them very, very sad.

Then one day Prabu went into the jungle. There he prayed to his god for a child. A few months later, the queen was expecting a baby, and all the people in the kingdom were happy. Prabu and the queen loved their little daughter and gave her everything. Th is made the princess a very spoiled girl. If she didn’t get what she wanted, she became very angry. But even though the princess behaved badly, her parents loved her, and so did the people in the kingdom.

Day by day, the princess grew more beautiful. When she was 17, her parents invited all the people in the kingdom to a party. Prabu took their gift s of gold and bright jewels and had a beautiful necklace made for his daughter.

On the day of the birthday, people gathered in the palace field. When Prabu and the queen appeared, people welcomed them happily. The cheers were even louder when the beautiful princess appeared. Prabu took the necklace. “My beloved daughter,” he said, “today I give this necklace to you. It is a gift from the people of this country because they love you so much.”The princess looked at the necklace. “I don’t want it! It’s ugly!” she shouted, and she threw the necklace on the ground, where it broke into pieces. Everyone was shocked. Nobody spoke.They never thought that their beloved princess would do that terrible thing.

In their silence people heard the queen crying. Everyone was sad and began crying, too. A pool of water formed on the ground. Soon the pool became a big lake. The lake sank all of the kingdom.

Today, people called the lake Talaga Warna. It means ‘Lake of Colours’. It is located in Puncak, West Java. On a bright day, the lake is full of amazing colours, which in fact come from the reflection of the trees and flowers around it.
