VIDEO: Exclusive, Lestari Moerdijat Reveals Queen Kalinyamat Is Not A Myth

JAKARTA - So far, there are still many who think that Queen Kalinyamat is just a myth or a character that only exists in legends. This was the main obstacle when the local government of Jepara proposed him as a national hero. However, the Deputy Chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia, Dr. Lestari Moerdijat, SS, MM, and her team managed to dig up literature all the way to Portugal, that the queen is a real person, not a myth or a legend. In Portuguese missionary records Ratu Kalinyamat was a ruler of Jepara who made the Portuguese troops shrink. She was a queen who was rich, powerful and very brave. On that basis, they again initiated the proposal of Queen Kalinyamat as a National Hero.
