Bambang Sulistomo,the elder son of Soetomo, presented his speech before thousands of youths in Surabaya. He attended a thanksgiving to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, because his father declared as a national hero by government.
Soetomo was the man who encourage the people in Surabaya to fight the British. Because of this war, November 10 was declared as Hero's Day.
According to my opinion, Soetomo or Bung Tomo was proper to be a national hero. That's because his merits were influenced Indonesia in 1940s.
Question:
1. What do you think, is Soetomo proper to be a national hero? Why or why not?
