The question now is, 60 years after the event, does the Indonesian nation need to remember it?
Ulya Pipin Jamson is a lecturer at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) who is currently completing her PhD in Anthropology and International Development Studies at the University of Melbourne. As a young generation, Pipin, who is also part of Melbourne Bergerak (Melbourne Moving), refuses to forget the incident. In fact, she believes that this refusal can foster a collective memory. She has a strong conviction that collective memory is crucial to prevent a similar incident from happening again.
