To the people of the Republic Of Indonesia, I report a statement on the 8th of August 1903 by my personal heroine Raden Ajeng Kartini as she awaited her approaching marriage:
“The children are to be my future, and I shall live and work for them, strive, and suffer, if need be, for them.”
More recently, a significant event which also happened on the date of August 8, was in 1984: the birth of Sherly Tjoanda who is now set to become the governor-elect of North Maluku.
Congratulations, Sherly.
InsyaAllah nanti Kartiniisme mendunia.
