'Bung' Karno's grave

'Bung' Karno's grave

From Republika

The plan to move Bung Karno's grave is a dilemma for his
family and third parties.

Batu Tulis, Bogor, is very close to the center of power. If
there is a large-scale pilgrimage to the site, it will generate
tremendous traffic congestion.

The charisma of Indonesia's first president is still very much
alive 27 years after his death, so there is anxiety among his
political opponents about an increased love for the deceased
(although this is a naive worry).

There should not be a long polemic on the plan to move Bung
Karno's grave. Let the wish of his progeny be fulfilled according
to the message of the deceased without political impediments.
This great nation should prove their love for Bung Karno by
appreciating his descendants.
