Monument on rocky land

Tue, 24 Jan 1995

From Kompas

If we sail from Sekupang to Singapore, we pass Pulau Sambu Kecil (Small Sambu Island) and, before entering the Singapore Strait, there lies a rocky island that belongs to Indonesia.

I have this to suggest for the Indonesian government. A giant Garuda Pancasila Monument should be built on the island with the words Republik Indonesia written on its foundation. This monument will serve two purposes. First, to introduce the Republic of Indonesia to the people who use the Singapore Strait. Second, to preserve the existence of the rocky land.
