Hmmm...
Finally We have arrested Pattimura and sentence him to execution on 16 December 1817 in Fort Victoria, Ambon.

PRESIDENT SOEHARTO
In 1973, I’ll give the title National Hero of Indonesia to Pattimura.
And I will name several landmarks with Pattimura to recall and respect him as National Hero.
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.
