Mr. Fust

I read the letter of Mr. T.C. Scott in The Jakarta Post, Aug. 8, 1995 which informed that a German national named Guenther Fust passed away.

I did not know the late Herr Fust personally but I had heard of his contribution to the kelurahan (village) of Pulau Kelapa.

Last year I went to Kelapa Island in the Seribu archipelago in North Jakarta. There I met with Bapak Marzuki Samian, the former lurah (village chief) of Pulau Kelapa. He told me a lot about this village and its people and he also said that there was an old invalid German national who lived on one of the islands and contributed to his village. At the time I was not curious enough to ask who the German national was. If Mr. Scot's letter hadn't appeared in the Post, I would have remained ignorant of this philanthropic German.
