Independence fighter
rushed to hospital

A week before the 60th independence anniversary, independence
fighter Surastri Karma Trimurti was admitted to Cikini Hospital
in Central Jakarta on Monday for an unknown illness. A tenant in
her house said Trimurti, 93, had complained about rashes on her
foot as well as a fever. "We don't know what illness she is
suffering from. She screamed and murmured before we admitted her
to the hospital," the tenant, Winda, said. A Cikini Hospital
doctor said a medical team was still examining Trimurti, who is
one of just a handful of survivors who were involved in the
country's proclamation of independence on Aug. 17, 1945. --
