 Bung Karno's house and the spirit of nationalism

Several years ago the plan to sell the house belonging to the Bung Karno family heir located in Blitar caused a strong reaction from the community. Various layers, including rickshaw drivers, are willing to spend to collect voluntary donations for the purchase of the house. Not to mention the celebrities and Mennegpora Adhyaksa Dault who promised to make every effort so that the house did not change hands. Reportedly, among a number of interested people in the house, there was a Malaysian who was involved in the bid. I don't know what the fate of the house is now



The discussion about the house is interesting because of its historical value. It was in this place that Bung Karno was said to have been born and raised. In fact, according to other sources Bung Karno was born in Surabaya. At that time, the Gebang Palace — the name of the house — was used as a tourism object (museum). The reason for the heirs to sell the house was because the cost of maintaining the house was considered too high.
