An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
The fall of Kraton, the royal city of Central Java on 20 June 1812 completed the fall of Yogyakarta to the British. Upon the fall of Kraton, British soldiers started looting. These white marauding thieves plundered the Javanese royal treasuries, gold, jewels, cash and court archive. They ripped apart everything as they continued with their killings, destruction and stealing spree. They then installed the battered and unwilling son of Sultan Hamengkubuwono, who had been taken prisoner and exiled to Penang, as their puppet Sultan. In that ceremony, Javanese courtiers were forcibly pushed to the ground by a John Crawfurd and forced to kiss the knees of his fellow white Briton who had seated himself beside the newly installed Sultan.
That Briton was in charge of and was responsible for the invasion, deaths of hundreds of Javanese and the plunder of a city. He was responsible for the imprisonment and exile of their Sultan. He was responsible for the destruction and pillage of their city. This is what the Briton wrote:
“The blow which has been struck at Djocjo Carta has afforded so decisive a proof to the Native Inhabitants of Java of the strength and determination of the British Government, that they now for the first time know their relative situation and importance. The European power is now for the first time paramount in Java.”
Who is this Briton?
This Briton is Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the barbaric murderer, destroyer and plunderer of Java.
Notwithstanding what he has done though, that Briton's family name of Raffles and his middle name of Stamford continues to adorn schools, hotels and businesses in the little island. Men like Dr Ng Eng Han, Tan Chuan-Jin and their ilk have no qualms nor issues in the use of his name. That Briton's statue stands proudly at Boat Quay with a plaque that reads:
"On this historic site, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles first landed in Singapore on 29th January 1819, and with genius and perception changed the destiny of Singapore from an obscure fishing village to a great seaport and modern metropolis."
The public and visible display of angst and anger by the likes of Dr Ng Eng Han, Tan Chuan-Jin and their ilk were undoubtedly as pretentious as they were confected. Their acute stupidity was that they fail to realise that someone would eventually would point out their brazen hypcocrisy. Will they now remove that statue of Raffles and retract the names of Raffles and Stamford from buildings, schools and businesses as a show of respect to the Indonesians?
The Indonesians, for all their faults, have displayed respect and class in not demanding that the statue of Raffles, a murderer and plunderer of Indonesians, be removed from the island or that the names of Raffles be removed from buildings, schools and businesses in the island.
So to Dr Ng Eng Han, Tan Chun-Jin and the other little bitching Ng Eng Hans and Tan Chun-Jins, I say this to you. Please stop your confected anger, hypocrisy and pretentiousness about the naming of the TNI-AL's frigate as Usman Harun. They are embarassingly dumb and display your acute stupidity.
