Real Indonesian HEROES! 🇮🇩 🌏

Today I meet some real Heroes in Banda Neira, Indonesia. On my way to check out Fort Nassau, I saw this group of kids picking up trash. It turns out they are part of TarusJagaRumah, an environmentalist group that goes around and tries to clean up areas in Indonesia, specifically around Maluku. If you get a chance, check out their Instagram at TarusJagaRumah.
Before I ran into this group of kids, I checked out the home of exiled vice president Mohammad Hatta. In 1936, he was sent to Banda Neira by the Dutch as a political prisoner. He lived there for 6 years before being freed by the Japanese during the Japanese Occupation. After that, I go to Fort Belgica. Fort Belgica is a 17th-century fort in Banda Neira, Banda Islands, Maluku Islands, Indonesia; administratively in Central Maluku Regency, Maluku. The fort acted as a fortification system for the islands of Banda which during the period, was the only place in the world where nutmeg was produced. I then go and check out Fort Nassau, the fort that is infamous for the horrific executions that took place in 1921when 44 orang kayas were brutally executed by Coen.

Sure Nick,good activity we must support

[@sugalink968]

Hopefully the actions of their heroes will be followed by other young heroes throughout Indonesia ... coinciding with the 77th Indonesian Independence Day, let's fill our independence with positive things for a better Indonesia ❗🟥⬜ . . . 👌💪👍 . . . ❤✌🤍

[@tomlandry2681]

There’s another fort on the island of Buton, nearby

[@rafiileo7465]

Thank you Nick for exploring Indonesia more deeply, thank you very much bro 👍🙏

[@giannishen]

Another coincidence, Japan has ruled Taiwan for 50 years since April 17, 1895. The difference is that the Japanese killed many local aborigines! I hope that the vice president's home can be transformed into a memorial hall with professional care by the government, and the cultural relics can be properly preserved! I also hope that the fort can repair the moldy place. It's sad to see the cannon being thrown on the ground. Fortunately, we have those heroes help to clear the garbage! But we have to ask sadly where did the garbage come from? It is very warm to hear you say historical stories, thank you very much for sharing! 👍😄👏

Mustinya pemerintah propinsi/pusat bantu pemda Banda Neira utk merenovasi tempat yg bersejarah dan indah ini sebagai modal PAD dari pariwisata...., karena sepertinya banyak bangunan bagus dan kuat bisa dimanfaatkan sebagai lokasi wisata...

[@kucingpemuja]

5:10 Interesting fact: Hatta promised not to marry until Indonesia became independent. So when he was exiled to Banda in his late 30s, he was not married. Hatta kept his promise, in which he only married after the proclamation of independence in 1945. To be precise, in November 1945 to a woman named Rachmi. Bung Karno who matched them at that time. They were 24 years apart in age when they married, Hatta was 43 years old and Rachmi was only 19 years old.

[@NickKTravel]

that is interesting! thanks for sharing!

[@masakmakanngopi]

Add note: Hatta had relationship with a woman but have to ended because Hatta's promise not to marry until Indonesia became Independent. So the woman married with other man. So after 20 years something later and Indonesia declare the independent Hatta married with Rachmi, and Rachmi is the daughter of the woman he had relationship before.

Hai..nick i'am dutch.half indonesian. Born en living in the netherlands. But the text on the fort is in an old dutch language.(grammar )Its about the first stone laid by the dutch governor general.(1611) It's realy hard to read and understand. Because its a text without periods and commas.

@20:27 Actually, it was the Makassar people who informed the Dutch about this big island Australia. Those Makassar seafarers used to sail all the way to northern Australia back and forth to collect sea cucumbers . They were trepang traders as far back to 18th. Century.

[@hardiniesta8994]

Saya suka turis seperti anda yang suka mempelajari sejarah dan tempat-tempat yang menguras rasa nasionalis kami. Tentu tetap pada sejarah yang ada,karna sejarah tetap harus di jaga juga agar tidak di gunakan pada yang tidak benar.

Finally, being able to see the Belgica Fort directly, not only from the image of the Rp 1,000 banknote, but through your vlog, Nick Sensei 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

[@rismariswana7685]

Well...it's said in many history that the human's ambition and greed of money has made them crazy even lost their humanity. It caused the chaos and wars all over the world even until now. It's just all because of money😔 Watching the youngsters with the positive energy of making the better world was the most enlightening moment in this video. So proud of them. Just hope that it will influence many other youngsters and elders to do the same. Then we'll have a better world that we call a home..❤✌

[@heblidawowo6920]

Hi Nick! Datanglah ke Morotai (Maluku Utara) anda akan melihat banyak hal mengenai sejarah perang Dunia ke 2 disana.

[@suherlinawati2449]

thankyou mr.nick you are a foreign tourist who cares about the history of indonesia,did you know that during the dutch colonial period,indonesian were scattered abroad including suriname,south africa and other countries.

[@vet_ykp]

During his lifetime, Bung Hatta wanted to own Bally shoes, a high-quality shoe brand in the 1950s. He even kept a clipping of the advertisement containing the address of the seller, quoted from the Kompas Daily, April 25, 2002. Because of the high price, Bung Hatta had to save money to be able to buy the shoes of his dreams.

[@dore3faso6sido]

Hatta has dozens of rich people who always do whatever he wants. Hasyim Ning - one of the 9 rich natives raised by Soekarno Des alwi HR Rasuna said Adam malik Etc

[@yuantibudiono1286]

To be honest thrue your channel i see a lot off interesting knowledge about my country.Thank you nick

Thank you Nick for telling the history of the massacre in the 16 century. It seems to me that the sky is cloudy, dark. Would you like to explore about present local economy, local culture/local customs in Banda, please ? Many thanks for your amazing video from Banda, a little "paradise" on earth..Enjoy your lovely weekend..

thank you so much, i explore a little more of Banda in upcoming videos

Thank you Nick for exploring Indonesia more deeply, thank you very much bro 👍🙏

[@KickSadowski]

Hi Nick i am happy to found you, this are gaan a great video thank you

[@denzelmanthovani103]

Nick, I give you five stars for the video of The Real Indonesia HEROES. Your visit to Mr. Hatta's detention house made my eyes tear up. He is a great Hero of the Indonesian nation. I once visited his house ( museum ) in Bukuttinngi West Sumatera. The past was indeed dark for most of colonized nations, mass murders, robberies etc. But from all that, we just take a lesson and try not to repeat it. It all happened. God's destiny. Banda Neira is very attractive. I hope Indonesian government will develop it as a major tourist destination, especially for tourists from Europe to commemorate the history of their ancestors. Take care of yor safety and health Nick.

[@NickKTravel]

thanks Denzel! I hope Banda Neira can preserve its beauty as well

[@gino_58_nl24]

It was not All the VOC Nick and the VOC is not just the Dutch. Many schools are built by the Dutch all over Indonesia and leaders of Indonesia did study in the Netherlands. and it was the USA that forced to give up Indonesia not all workers where slaves and many had a good life. Maybe you should read the books of Russell Shorto a writer from the USA about Dutch history.

[@yemo5316]

Fort Belgica was originally a fort built by the Portuguese in the 16th century on Naira Island, Maluku. Long after that, at the location of the Portuguese fort, a fort was rebuilt by the VOC on the orders of the Governor-General Pieter Both on September 4, 1611. The fort was later named Fort Belgica, so that at that time, there were two forts on Neira Island, namely; Fort Belgica and Fort Nassau. This fort was built with the aim of dealing with the resistance of the Banda people who opposed the monopoly of the nutmeg trade by the VOC.

[@timb2606]

I first came to Maluku in 1996 when I was young and thin. I went to Banda on a Pelni boat from Ambon. Fort Nassau was totally overgrown- nothing like Nick sees here, and the restoration of Belgica was not complete. It’s great to see how the restoration is going. It is also good that Nick is aware of what murderous arseholes the early Dutch under Coen were.

[@yemo5316]

@@timb2606 where do you come from?

[@timb2606]

Hi Yuli, I’m Australian.

[@portal.unique]

Yups, some Dutch VOC give some good legacy, like Medical&Hospital, Plantations&Garden Science (Bogor), Farm (Pasteurisation method for Milk in Bandung), astronomy (Telescope Boscha in Lembang-Bandung), and so on, but that was at the end of VoC's end time because they feel they owed so much to Dutch East Indiche aka Indonesia

[@NickKTravel]

Thanks for the info!

[@Ridho-lv8jd]

It started with Van Deventer “Politik Etis” or ethical politic that voc/dutch start education in Indonesia for local people.

[@warnawarni6389]

Gold, glory, gospel, the voc manifesto. So yeah they had good legacy, but only for them self. Btw nice journey nick, as always. can't wait to see more from you

[@danielsuitela6988]

They spend not much money on the gospel. Because, as Nick also said in this video, their only interest was making money.

[@bajirot]

So basically Indonesia wasn't initially occupied by The Dutch Government but by a multinational company VOC.

[@clydegadayan]

I really think the Banda islands has so much value that Indonesia tourism should put more effort in revitalizing it and introduce it along the loop of tourist attractions in the country. I can imagine there's unexplored beautiful beaches and reefs and you pair that with the rich historical value. Then adding more flights and making it a bit cheaper to place the icing on the cake

[@qinghualao7079]

Thank you for your donation man! And Indonesian who watch this video should greatly appreciate and embarrassed when a foreigner help the local to clean up the trashes. Malu gak sih sampai orang luar bersihkan sampah kalian?? STOP buang sampah sembarangan,mulailah dari sekarang maka lama kelamaan akan terbiasa.

[@karankendal4936]

it is written in Dutch Languages,.you have the inspiration as Indonesian people like me myself,.never been to Ambon, I do have friends from Ambon it is so much history in Ambon,..even the sea call Halmahera a place to isolate prisoner too. Be safe peace.

[@nilamfauzie7870]

Hatta exiled alone without family bcs his big influence upon people. So he was taken forcedly from Jakarta, put him into jail in Papua and then sent to Banda by the Dutch. There he met doctor Cipto Mangunkusumo, another hero who also exiled from Jakarta

[@IqbalHatami]

The Dutch colonial time also resulted in some Dutch colonial literature. A few have been translated into english and published by Periplus Indonesia. I remember one is called ‘The Islands’ and another ‘Two Tales of the East Indies’ (there are more). There are Periplus shops in Bali and Jakarta certainly.

[@lapissurabayaekonomissiaha3150]

you are right..👍 there was a canal to protect the fort from local people...so the bridge were the only possibility to go in and out...nassau fort was the main reason why they build Belgica fort...for control of local movements not only on Neira Island but also from one to another island...because Neira was the main (administration and trading point) Island on that time...
