Lot Salawati (The lot of Salawati)
The lot of Salawati
Nieuwe Courant, 3 December 1949: commentary profiling 'Lot Salawati' (Salawati Daud) as 'very left and very revolutionary', leader of the Masamba gang. It speculates that she was humiliated at the Indonesian Women's Congress in Yogyakarta and then at home in Makassar, and sought rehabilitation through violence; it also alleges 'pernicious influence' on children. A hostile, speculative colonial-era portrait.
Nieuwe Courant, 3 Desember 1949: komentar yang menggambarkan 'Lot Salawati' (Salawati Daud) sebagai 'sangat kiri dan sangat revolusioner', pemimpin gerombolan Masamba. Berspekulasi bahwa ia dipermalukan di Kongres Perempuan Indonesia di Yogyakarta lalu di Makassar, dan mencari rehabilitasi lewat kekerasan; juga menuduh 'pengaruh buruk' pada anak-anak. Potret bermusuhan dan spekulatif era kolonial.
“Salawati took part a few months ago in the Indonesian Women's Congress in Djokja and was there rather emphatically rapped over the knuckles (speculative motive).”
