Interpretations of the legacy of Kartini in post-Suharto Indonesia.
Kartini (1879-1904) was a Javanese princess and is acclaimed as Indonesia’s first feminist and a national heroine. Petra investigated how Kartini’s writings and personal history are being reinterpreted in Indonesia since the fall of President Suharto in 1998.

The pandemic may have stacked the odds against rail travel but plans to revive local stations are still gathering steam.
A proposal is being drawn up to reopen a passenger station in Kincardine, Fife, for the first time in nearly a century.

In March last year a friend in Bangladesh forwarded a news item that said Australia’s borders would be closed until September. “Is it true!!!!” he exclaimed. I was sceptical and replied that neither the economy nor people’s limits of endurance would allow the closures to last that long. I thought we’d be flying again within a few months.
It’s in such moments you discover you’re really an optimist. One month into 2021 and the international borders are just as firmly closed as they were at the end of March, maybe more so. The most dire predictions don’t see us travelling internationally until next year. More than 30,000 Australians can’t even get a flight home.
Gripping memories of wartime mine blast which brought terror and devastation to Stonehaven
Updated: 10/12/2020, 5:49 pm
A gripping eyewitness account of the day a wartime mine exploded in Stonehaven Harbour, “shattering” the old town, has been shared for the first time.
Hugh Ramsay, who was an 11-year-old Boy Scout on that dramatic day in November 15 1944, has recounted his vivid memories of the fear and devastation caused when the blast ripped off roofs and shattered windows as fearful families cowered in a safe refuge.
“It was about 8pm when the whole town was rocked by a huge explosion, the mine had been driven against the harbour wall, just under the Ship Inn. We all knew this was bad, very bad,” recounted Hugh.
