Isi artikel

During thw 1950s, there was a wayang (puppet theater performance) in Cimahi (West Java), at Pa Idin's House if I'm not mistaken, where the sinden (female singer) was Upit Sarimanah. The first time Upit sang, three people died, seven were seriously wounded, ten suffer minor ailments, scores lost their children, many lost their dates, and several lost their spouses. Who knows how many lost their wallets! This report may be an exgaggresion. But some did die on that occasion, they say. We can understand - at the time Upit was extremely popular. No doubt the audience was huge. until the (last) gong sounded, people moved about constantly, that's for sure. Mother lost track of their children, girlfriends went unattended, men forgot their wives, and children were pressed together tighty in the crowd. It was this kind of crowd that thieves throw upon.
