Honoring Tien
Honoring Tien
From Republika
Located on 265 hectares of land east of Jakarta, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah reflects all the cultures and traditions that exist in Indonesia. Built 25 years ago, the park is indeed monumental and has a strong sense of environment orientation and offers to domestic as well as foreign visitors the cultural beauties and arts which are typical to Indonesia.
In order to honor the highly respected daughter of the nation who initiated and promoted this great idea, I propose the government change the name of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah to Taman Hartinah Indonesia. This is by no means to promote an individual cult, but a means to remember her great contribution to the country, and as the first lady.
