“The banners that you see in Jakarta underwent a long journey before being known by the public as they are today,” Hartono, a 50-year-old banner maker in Pekayon, Bekasi, West Java, told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday. “The banners are not just regular fabric. They represent the struggle and hopes of the Lamongan people to be successful in a big city like Jakarta,” he added.
Tenggulun subdistrict in Selokuro, Lamongan, East Java, was once infamous because of the October 2002 arrests of three Bali bombers, brothers Ali Gufron, Amrozi and Ali Imron, known as the Trio Tenggulun. Now, 15 years later, the subdistrict attracted public attention again after more than 40 former terrorist inmates and combatants from various conflict areas, including Afghanistan and Mindanau in the Philippines, gathered there to vow loyalty to Indonesia and promised to help fight extremism.
