ACEH - A historical observer of Aceh highlighted the condition of the tomb of Sultan Iskandar Muda's wife, Putroe Sani (16071636 AD), in Gampong Runtoh, Delima District, Pidie Regency, which was not taken care of even though it had been designated a cultural heritage site.
"The makam from Sultan Iskandar Muda is not taken care of or neglected," said Acehnese observer and cultural observer Tarmizi A Hamid alias Cek Midi in Banda Aceh, Antara, Thursday, September 4.
The statement was made after he and two other Acehnese historical observers, namely archaeologist Syiah Kuala University (USK) Banda Aceh Prof Husaini Ibrahim and UIN Ar-Raniry lecturer Hasan Basri M Nur, visited the tomb location.
According to Cek Midi, their visit was aimed at observing and digging up information from local residents about the condition of the tomb and its treatment.
Based on observations, the condition of the stone on the tomb body has been cracked and reconnected using cement. While the head and leg tombstones are no longer visible.
The fence began to collapse, without any information boards related to the history of the empress, except for a pamphlet indicating that the site was a cultural heritage object.
"All of us now claim to be the grandson of Sultan Iskandar Muda. But in the tomb of the Sultan, no one cares," said Cek Midi.
USK archaeologist Prof. Husaini Ibrahim also expressed his concern over the local government's lack of attention to the historic site.
Based on several references, Putroe Sani is the daughter of Teungku Syik in Reubee, a great scholar and royal of Aceh.
