Description
"Mas Bagong" by Noor van Anwar [link]
Bagong. He's short, yes. Obviously on the heavy side. He's one of the four Punakawan alongside Petruk, Gareng, and Semar. And finally, he has Mick Jagger's lips, which means he probably has a mouth of a sailor. But you knew that already.
What you don't know, is that his sailor mouth was a the perfect instrument for the royal puppeteers (and the Empire they served) to criticize the VOC colonization. He was the people's voice.
The bitter truth is, this country needs more Bagongs. No need to sugarcoat, we are tired of being unheard and we will fight until we are no longer ignored.
