If you ever heard about Grace O'Malley, the 16th Century Pirate Queen of Ireland, so in Aceh, we have Queen of Laksamana Keumalahayati. A mighty and brave woman who has conquered the ocean.
Admiral Keumalahayati is a woman who has struggled to defend the rights of Aceh, and has fought to expel invaders in the open seas. Even one high-ranking officer from the colonial country was successfully conquered.
Now all has passed, although Keumalahayati has long gone, but his zeal in defending Aceh from the attack of enemy ships could be a benefit for us all to this day. Hopefully we can inherit that courage.
Now, I can only visit his grave to commemorate a mighty woman. You can see his grave in the photo I uploaded above.
The tomb and eternity are still embedded within the hearts of the Acehnese. Hopefully by visiting his grave, I can add insight and strengthen courage, to myself, and I will teach to my children.
