The demise of Cinde Market in Palembang drove Robby Sunata (41) to spread love for history among the younger generation. He devises several measures to introduce historical sites to the youth in an attractive way. He believes that once love for history blossoms, desire to preserve the history could be engraved.
On Sunday (28/2/2021), around 30 historical junkies gathered on the porch of “rumah kapitan” (Captain’s House) in Palembang. Most of them were members of the younger generation who were still in school or university. With rapt attention, they listened to Tjik Harun, a prominent figure of Chinese descent who was telling a story of the first arrivals of Chinese people in Palembang, South Sumatra.
