00:00Hello, everyone. My name is Sudamo, better known as Bungtomo.
00:06I was born in Surabaya, East Java, on October 3, 1920. I was a journalist, orator, and national
00:14hero who played a pivotal role during the Battle of Surabaya in November 1945. Through fiery radio
00:21broadcasts, I rallied the youth and citizens of Surabaya to defend Indonesia's independence
00:27against the British and Dutch forces. With the famous battle cry, Merdeka at Tau Mati.
00:34Freedom or death, I reminded our people that courage and unity can defeat even the most
00:39powerful foreign armies.
