 THE WHOLE TEXT
Bandung as Sea of Fire

Bandung Lautan Api (Bandung as Sea of Fire) is a fire that occurred in the city of
Bandung, on March 24, 1946. Within seven hours, about 200,000 residents of
Bandung burn their homes, leaving the city to the mountains in the south of
Bandung. This is done to prevent the Allies and the Dutch NICA soldiers using
Bandung as a strategic military headquarters in the War of Independence of
Indonesia.
British troops as part of the Brigade MacDonald arrived in Bandung on October
12, 1945. They demanded all firearms in the hands of the society except for the
Army of The Republic of Indonesia (Tentara Republik Indonesia /TRI, now called
TNI) and the police left. Dutch people newly released from prison camp began to
interfere the security, and the armed clash between the two sides is unavoidable.
On the night of 24 November 1945, TKR and the people's militia launched attacks
on British troops positions in the north, including the Hotel Homan and Hotel
Preanger which they use as a headquarters. Three days after, MacDonald
delivered an ultimatum to the Governor of West Java to be vacated the North
Bandung including from the armed forces.
 THE WHOLE TEXT

The ultimatum encourage TRI to leave Bandung but they do the operation call
"Bumi Hangus". The fighters of the Republic of Indonesia are not willing to hand
off Bandung and used by British and the NICA.
Bandung deliberately burned by TRI and local people with the intention that the
British can not use Bandung as a strategic military headquarters. Everywhere are
black smoke billowing high into the air, and all the power supply are not function.
The British Army began to attack so fierce fighting occurred. The greatest battle in
the Village name Dayeuh Kolot, in South Bandung, where there are a large
ammunition depot belonging to British. In this battle Mohammad Toha and
Ramdan, two of militiamen of Barisan Rakyat Indonesia called for a mission to
destroy the ammunition depot. Muhammad Toha has succeeded blew up the
warehouse by using dynamite. The large warehouse then exploded, but sadly both
militias caught fire in it. Since then, the South Bandung has been empty of
inhabitants and TRI but the fire still burned soared and Bandung becoming a sea of
fire.
The strategy to fire Bandung is considered because the power of TRI and people's
militia is not comparable to the British forces and NICA. After the

incident, TRI helped by people's militia to fight a guerrilla from outside Bandung.
This incident also inspired the famous song “Halo, Halo Bandung”. A few years
later, the song officially written as a memory of the fighters emotions felt at the
time when they were waiting to come back to their beloved city that has become a
sea of fire.
There are also 45M highly monument build in Tegallega Park, in the center of
Bandung to remember the events of Bandung as Sea of Fire, led by Muhammad
Toha. Every March 23, many people visit the monument to commemorate the
heroic event that occurred back then. The Bandung Sea of Fire showed us that
Indonesia combatants were very loyal to the country. They did not want to leave
anything for the colonial and British army. The event was a great example of how
Indonesian would sacrifice everything to reach their goal.
