After Indonesia's independence, Sutan Sjahrir became the first prime minister. This is a photo when Prime Minister Sutan Sjahrir was eating on a running train in Jakarta in 1946. It is likely that he was accompanied by members of his cabinet.
The photo is interesting because it implies that as the prime minister of a newly independent country Sutan Sjahrir was of course very busy, so even eating was done on a running train.
The photo above was colored using palette.fm, below is the original photo by John Florea from LIFE.
