The following text is for questions 8 to 10.

On November 10, Indonesia celebrates Heroes Day in remembrance of the Battle of

Surabaya which started on that very date in the year 1945. The bloody battle took place because
Indonesians refused to surrender their weaponry to British army. British Army at that time was
part of the Allied Forces. The defiant Bung Tomo is the well-known revolutionary leader who
played a very important role in this battle.
The battle all started because of a misunderstanding between British troops in Jakarta and
those in Surabaya, under the command of Brigadier A.W.WS. Mallaby. Brigadier Mallaby
already had an agreement with Governor of East Java Mr. Surya. The agreement stated that
British would not ask Indonesian troops and militia to surrender their weapons. However, a
British plane from Jakarta dropped leaflets all over Surabaya. The leaflet told Indonesians to do
otherwise on October, 1945. This action angered the Indonesian troops and militia leaders
because they felt betrayed.
On October 30, 1945, Brigadier Mallaby was killed as he was approaching the British
troops’ post near Jembatan Merah or Red Bridge, Surabaya. There were many reports about the
death, but it was widely believed that the Brigadier was murdered by Indonesian militia. Looking
at this situation, Lieutenant General Sir Philip Christison brought in reinforcements to siege the
city.

 In the early morning of November 10, 1945, British troops began to advance into
Surabaya with cover from both naval and air bombardment. Although the Indonesians defended
the city heroically, the city was conquered within 3 days and the whole battle lasted for 3 weeks.
In total, between 6,000 and 16,000 Indonesians died while casualties on the British side were
about 600 to 2000. Battle of Surabaya caused Indonesia to lose weaponry which hampered the

Indonesian national revolution.

Tsunami

Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor suddenly slips. The displaced
rock pushes water above it like a giant paddle, producing powerful water waves at the ocean
surface. The ocean waves spread out from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move across
the ocean until they reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the continental
shelf, the part of the earth crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor up to the land.
A tsunami washes ashore with often disastrous effects such as severe flooding, loss of
lives due to drowning and damage to property.
A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a disturbance along the ocean
floor. This disturbance can be an earthquake, a landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is
undetectable far out in the ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast traveling wave
grows very large.

Oliveira wins Indonesian MotoGP from Quartararo, Zarco

Miguel Oliveira held his nerve to win a rain-affected Indonesian MotoGP on Sunday and then
promised to give the trophy to his baby daughter.

The Portuguese KTM rider finished 2.205sec ahead of current world champion Fabio Quartararo,
of France, who had started from pole position on his Yamaha. 

Another Frenchman, Johann Zarco, completed the podium a further 3.158sec adrift for the
Pramac Racing team in a race reduced to 20 laps from 27 because of safety concerns.

"It's really emotional," said Oliveira. "I promised my daughter I would get a trophy from
Indonesia, so this one is for you baby."

The start at the Mandalika International Street Circuit was delayed for 75 minutes by heavy rain
as grand prix racing returned to Indonesia for the first time in a quarter of a century.

When it did eventually begin, Quartararo bolted into the first corner comfortably ahead but by the
end of the first lap had been reeled in by Oliveira and Australia's Jack Miller, on a Ducati.

US Utama/2022/Bahasa Inggris/Totok Isnantyo Page 10

It did not take Oliveira long behind the Australian to realize he had the grip and pace to stretch
away on the sodden track.

"I followed Jack for a couple of laps and then I understood that I could still go a bit faster," said
Oliveira. 

"When I overtook him, I just tried to focus for the next five laps," said Oliveira, who took his
fourth victory, after winning the Styrian and Portuguese Grands Prix in 2020 and the Catalunya
race last season.

"Then I built the gap and I was managing it the whole race but it was, for sure, not easy."

Miller finished fourth, with the Spanish pair of Alex Rins and Joan Mir fifth and sixth. 

World championship leader Enea Bastianini of Italy, who won the season-opening race in Qatar
two weeks ago, struggled in the wet and could only finish 11th after starting on the second row of
the grid.  

The Italian remains top of the world championship standings after two races on 30 points, two
ahead of South Africa's Brad Binder with Quartararo one point further back in third.

Oliveira's 25 points for victory elevated him to fourth in the standings.

Quartararo was delighted to fight back to grab what he said was his first podium in the wet, after
struggling in the opening laps and dropping to fifth at one stage. 

"To be honest, from the warm-up lap I felt like we have something extra, because we know that
in the wet condition we are struggling always," said Quartararo. 

"So I saw an opportunity and I go for it. I think it's my first podium in the wet so I'm super happy
because we found something in the wet."
