Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX, A King Who Hobby In A Role

JAKARTA - The school period of Gusti Raden Mas Dorodjatun, then known as Sultan Hamengkubowo IX, is full of dynamics. His life is not like the son of the King of Yogyakarta in general. His father, Hamengkubowo VIII, kept Dorodjatun away from all kinds of conveniences.

He also grew up to be a disciplined, simple, and brave person. Every day he often intersects with racist synyo-sinyo. His anger peaked and friends (berantem) occurred. Then, friends became his favorite.

The spoiled word will almost certainly not be included in the life dictionary of Dorodjatun. He was forged so hard since childhood. From his father, who is still the Prince of Java named Gusti Raden Mas Sujadi, then rose to the throne to become the Ruler of Yogakarta who is remembered as Sultan Hamengkubuwono VIII.

Didikan yang diterapkan ayahya jauh berbeda dengan keluarga king lainnya. Dorodjatun justru tak dibiarkan hidup spoiled. Mungkin jadi satu-satuhan yang diberikan ayahnya kepada Dorodjatun hanya akses menumpuh pendidikan.

An item 'expensive' in its era. All because Sultan Hamengkubuwono VIII was able to think far through the times. Education is considered the only way to escape the ignorance and entanglement of foreign colonialists.

The education that Dorodjatun took was conditional. He, who is still four years old, was forced to live far from the palace. His father then determined that Dorodjatun should have a boarding house at the house of a respected Dutchman.

The results are brilliant. Living in a house that incidentally a principal at a school in Yogyakarta can make Dorodjatun absorb the way of life of Europeans. He became fluent in Dutch. The man who is familiarly called Allah as Henkie learned to live a disciplined and simple life.

No natives accompany Dorodjatun during boarding houses. Valuable lessons fromTEN actually have an important meaning when Dorodjatun enters school. He became a prominent student at the Frobel School (tK level) and the Neutral Europe Lagere School ( SD level).

The father seems to be able to see signs of the times. In the early 20th century, several notions of democracy began to grow in Europe. So Hamengkubowo was in accordance with the spirit of the era of wanting to educate his son to follow the progress of the times. he did not allow Dorodjatun to surge in the stability of the palace.

When he was four years old, he was like the sons of the other Sultanate of Yogyakarta Palace. Dorodjatun is required to mondok far from the mahayagai. He was entrusted to the house of haphazard, a Dutchman, principal of a school in Yogyakarta. He must learn discipline and live a simple life, "wrote Budiman S. Hartoyo and his friends in his writing in Tempo Magazine entitled Bigger than his Throne (1988).

Dorodjatun's life in elementary schools is full of dynamics. This is because the Bumiputras are a minority group in class. Dorodjatun also had to divide classes with those from Dutch descent, Sinyo and Chinese.

His school days were not smooth. Even though Dorodjatun is known to be smart. He saw firsthand how the discrimination that was present at school. Bumiputras are often seen as low by racist syno-sinyo.

The discriminatory treatment made him often get into trouble. He is often punished by his teacher for often being friends. Anger peaks as an excuse for Dorodjatun. Sometimes it's a fight with racist syno-sinyo. Sometimes he also fights with Chinese people.

His behavior in fighting was high. In fact, Dorodjatun did not shyly admit that he was a hobby and likes to fight. Instead of just fighting, Dorodjatun is also happy to see his colleagues fighting. The son's fight for the Pontianak Ruler, Syarif Abdul Hamid Alkadrie, for example.

The figure who later became known as Sultan Hamid II was known to be in the same school as Dorodjatun. However, Dorodjatun's fighting affairs admitted that Hamid, who was often called Mosez, was a little feminine at that time. Mozes even lost when he was pitted against a woman.

'O, so often! Because I love friends (beats). (Given this, Hamengku Buwono IX seemed to laugh). At that time I was in the same class as Hamid, then known as Sultan Hamid II..

"When I was little, I called him Mozes. He lived in Yogya, only accompanied by a Britishgotvermante (investigator) named Mrs. Fox. I only remember he was a little feminine. The habit of being friends between boys is not very much liked by him. So the time he 'played' with a female student who was good at fighting, and he lost," recalled Dorodjatun, who at that time was Sultan Hamengkubowo IX as quoted by Mohamad Roem in the book Takktah for the People (2013).
