in Muntok, Kabupaten Bangka Barat where President Sukarno and his friends exiled, such as in name. The history of assets was left impressed and isolated. Except Bung Karno, a number of national figures also been sequestered in a building located at the top of Mount Menumbing this. Say, for example, Vice President Mohammad Hatta, the Secretary of State Pringgodigdo, Agus Salim, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Teaching Sastroamidjojo, Mr. Chairman KNIP Assaat, Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Mohammad Roem and Chief of Staff of the Air Force’s Air Commodore Suryadarma.

First groups is Mohammad Hatta, Mr AG Pringgodigdo, Mr. Assaat, and Air Commodore S Suryadarma. They come to this place on December 22, 1948 from Yogyakarta.

Agus Salim, was transferred to the Pacific at the request of President Sukarno for easy consultation with Moh. Hatta, Sukarno at the request of the group is also divided by 2 is to stay at Menumbing and Wisma Ranggam

In the Giri Sasana Menumbing with a height of approximately 445 meters above sea level it was, Soekarno and his friends underwent during his days of exile. Unfortunately, it neglected asset. And in place that produced many important decisions related to the sustainability of this country.

There did make a trip to the heart excited. Understandably the road to the summit for only one car lane and winding. Plus the old asphalt is overgrown with the fungus makes its way is a bit slippery. When the rainy season the road becomes very slippery, so it often can not be skipped. Forest seen from behind the windshield still looks beautiful. The trees are huge, probably long ago have been cut down. After traveling by road through the steep, slippery, and twisting, and post guards at the entrance finally arrived at the Giri Sasana Menumbing. To entry in this complex, visitors are charged, one person to Rp 2,000 and Rp 10.000 for cars. Not expensive for the size now.

Built of Giri Sasana Menumbing

No data exactly when Giri Sasana Menumbing was built. Giri Sasana Menumbing was built by the Dutch colonial era sweatshop workers in 1927. While from other sources mention the complex was built in 1890 and other sources in 1932. This building was used by Banka Tin Winning, the precursor of PT Timah TBK. The architecture also looks slick. Walls built with granite stones.

Over an area of two hectares that there are three buildings, namely the main building comprising 6 rooms and two pavilions comprising 6 rooms and 7 rooms. In 1996, the Government of Bangka Regency, it was still affiliated with the South Sumatra Province, are leased historic buildings to PT Carmeta for 15 years to be managed as a hotel and restaurant. Giri Sasana Menumbing also changed its name to Hotel Jati Menumbing. There are about 30 rooms there. In the early days of management, There’s a lot local and foreign tourists visit and stay at the hotel. However, since the last two years, the visitors, both just come or stay so quiet.

I don’t what the reason Pemkab Bangka at this time, allowing the Giri Sasana Menumbing to be contracted to PT Carmeta hereinafter to be Menumbing Hotel. Unfortunately in the history of assets that were built towers and telecommunication facilities broadcast television stations. Unknowingly the existence of the tower is clearly damaging the overall landscape of the historic site.

Due to quiet the visitors, making the hotel a very minimal income. Consequently, generators are commonly used as a source of lighting is not turned on again. Forced, at night using kerosene lamps as lights.

In the main building there are rooms that Bung Karno during the first exile in 1948. But the iron that was used as the bars are not there and left dormant. When Megawati visited there, he asked for iron is paired again. In the building there is a bell that was frequently used Dutch army for a particular purpose.

In Front of 102 rooms, on display Ford cars de luxe eight-cylinder with plate number BN 10. The car was often used by Bung Karno when visiting people’s at Muntok and Pangkalpinang and other areas in the Bangka region. However, black-painted car that was made in 1948 it now has no engine.

About Sukarno legacy archives could not be found in the Giri Sasana Menumbing. Do not know where his tracks. Only those records ever seen at Wisma Ranggam and the conditions have much eaten by termites.

In room 102, in addition to pictures of Sukarno, Hatta pictures, political leaders in Indonesia’s M Isa Djamaludin, and some writing paper displayed on a wall. Besides the table and Work chairs of Bung Karno Inside the room, there is also a writing desk from the marble. In that room Bung Karno always entertain guests, , Bung Hatta as sequestered in the different building / villa.

Right of the entrance there is a writing Bung Hatta dated August 17, 1951, written in brass and iron plate that read, “Kenang-kenangan Menumbing. Di bawah sinar gemerlap, terang tjuatja Bangka, Djokdjakarta, Djakarta. Hidup Pantjasila, Bhineka Tunggal Ika.”
