Last week, Koto’s mother had an accident. Her youngest child, Putra, was at home when it happened. He was playing with his new toy car. Suddenly Putra heard his mother calling, “Help! Help!” he ran to the kitchen. His mother had burnt herself with some hot cooking oil. She was crying with pain and the pan was on fire. Koto had gone to the office.

Bandung as Sea of Fire was a fire that occurred in the city of Bandung on March 24, 1946. Within seven hours, about 200,000 residents of Bandung burned their homes.
