Ailing Historical Heritage

by: Sugeng Mulyono

Two weeks in Sukadana, I was with Mr. Wilem always just around Sukadana. We sat on the market near the base speed boat Sukadana majors - Pontianak, he pointed to a stately home river. "You see it's one of the historical evidence is now missing because of development," he explained, pointing penopo regents. According to the first story was a Dutch heritage wedana, since the capital district Sukadana Wedana ousted and replaced with modern architecture regents

Brief heard the story I remembered Mr. Wilem Singkawang, my hometown, there is a halfway house Sambas to the royal heritage collapsed and gave way to shop lined majestic. Similarly, what has happened Wedana lost development ferociously.

Wilem kept telling five years she's been here so many cultural reserves the visit and he thinks he is still very little attention from the government in maintaining proper heritage must be maintained.

Nothing seemed almost an hour we were on the edge of the pier. Mr. Wilem was invited to his house. "Uh You do not send 12-hour news have lunch now," warned as she walked away toward the motor and we were up in Pangkalan Buton, a village where Wilem been staying.

With a laugh, "Exsavator wait tuh,".
"Relax Dad, Exsavator was absent this morning," I explained to him as she walked away from him.

Done duty, returned to his home. Apparently he was again given medication consultations to citizens seeking help, nearly half-hour speech he gave to a mother who admitted that he had a fever a week.

"People prefer to come here than to the health center," he explained over the mother's home. "Is why sir?," I asked. He told me that people come dipuskesmas, examined and given medication and went home. While patients who came to him in addition to being reviewed and given a drug Wilem also provides its own motivation for patients so that in addition to medicines, provided the motivation is the most efficacious drugs.

Wilem say what is true, why do people recover more of the drugs but not the self motivation to recover from illness. And Wilem been doing it since served in Sukadana.

In the former Autonomous Sukadana It has been the capital of the Empire-Tanjungpura Matan, Representative Lord Sukana Siak, the British consulate and the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Japan had mastered Sukadana.

"In the village there are remains Sedahan pre-history (pre-history) as Rock skelter, indicates if an ancient civilization once lived in Sukadana," he explained.

Several objects in the history of the no-man's Sukadana and no longer detectable, such as ancient cave man, dolmen and others. British Consulate relics such as the Ex dock at Island Beach Datok, the remnants of mangrove plants are then forwarded to Plant Salt Netherlands also began its existence threatened. Remains found in the Dutch period and Cage military barracks Netherlands, Gudang Garam, Fort Layer Three and others would be very unfortunate if the building to participate dismantled.

Cultural conservation bodies have the academic aspect, ideological, and economical. Academic aspect to the science of inheritance, as the ideological identity or national identity, and economical because it can be a supporter of tourism with a fixed priority to the principle of conservation.

Expected, so that the community must play a role in protecting cultural conservation. Now we just how far the community to protect and secure objects such cultural reserves. During this public awareness of the importance of historical objects is still lacking and objects of cultural reserves are sometimes considered normal and not ignored.

"We'll see whether the government was aware of the importance of cultural conservation," explained the man who devoted himself to providing health services for rural communities particularly
