The only Indonesian Burghers in Sri Lanka-By M.D (Tony) Saldin<\/span><\/h1>\n

Willem Ferdinand Lumanauw<\/em><\/strong> hailed from Tondano, a town in Northern Celebes, now known as the island of Sulaweisi, when present day Indonesia was known to the outside world as the Dutch East Indies. The closest city to Tondano, is Manado.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regionally headquartered in Batavia<\/em> which is present day Jakarta, the Dutch East India Company or Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie <\/em>(VOC) invaded the numerous Indonesian islands one by one to exploit the spice trade, especially pepper and cinnamon which was exported to Europe at enormous profits. \u00a0At its peak the VOC was the richest private company in the world with over 150 merchant ships, 40 warships, and 50,000 employees and with an army of over 10,000 soldiers. Indonesia continued to be under the iron heel of the Dutch for over 350 years until independence on 17th<\/sup> August 1945.<\/span><\/p>\n

Born on October 7th 1919, after World War 1, young Willem Lumanauw who was educated in Dutch joined the Royal Dutch merchant marine as a purser on a ship called the \u201cPlancius.\u00a0 His father one Johannes was a landed proprietor and an owner of rice fields in Tondano. \u00a0Willem had 3 brothers and a sister.\u00a0 Of the brothers Freddie was in the Indonesian Navy, Jan, an officer in the Army and Johannes a rebel either on the side of the Japanese or allied forces in the 2nd<\/sup> world war.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Willem was on the \u201cPlancius\u201d during the siege of Singapore in 1941. His ship which was carrying war refugees to Colombo narrowly escaped Japanese torpedoes whilst sailing out of the Singapore harbour.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the end of World War 2 he left the Royal Dutch merchant marine KPM and settled in Colombo where he was in the employ of the Consul for Holland in Ceylon, a Dutch Burgher by the name of Mr. De Wildt.\u00a0 In time De Wildt would team up with Bogstra to form the well known company \u201cBogstra & De Wildt\u201d in the Fort who were the agents for Seiko watches in Sri Lanka. He also dabbled in the ship chandelling business which was subsequently passed on to Halim Ishaak. Before Indonesia gained independence from Holland in 1945, Dutch was the lingua-franca <\/em>for all communications and Willem was able to read, write and speak Dutch fluently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Willem was introduced to Sybil Iris Wallace<\/em><\/strong> the beautiful daughter of Stanley and Veronica Wallace, at a house party organized by a fellow ship chandler De Kauwe, held in the residence of one Van Gramberg. After a whirlwind romance, they were married on 12th<\/sup> June 1945.\u00a0 She was 17 and he was 26 years old. From the union, two children were born, a son Stanley and daughter Veronica.<\/span><\/p>\n

Willem joined the Indonesian Legation in 1955 prior to it becoming a fully fledged Embassy.\u00a0 The Legation was located in Melbourne Avenue, Colombo 4 when<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. De Fretes was Charge d\u2019Affaires.\u00a0 In January 1958, President Soekarno made a state visit to Ceylon when H.E. Djoemena was the Indonesian Ambassador.\u00a0 During his tenure at the embassy, Willem functioned as the Colombo Plan Officer and attended the Non-Aligned Conference in Algiers in 1965 accompanied by his wife.\u00a0 The Indonesian Ambassador in Algeria at the time of the Conference was H.E. Asa Bafagieh, who was the former Indonesian Ambassador in Colombo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from his work at the Embassy, Willem took part in various activities in Colombo.\u00a0 He was an expert Ballroom and Latin American dancer and won the 1955 and 1956 Ceylon Champions of Ballroom dancing titles with his Dutch partner whose husband was attached to the Dutch Legation; a Fashion Designer \u2013 \u201cSymphony in Batik\u201d fashion show organized by him on 4th<\/sup> March 1966 at Hotel Taprobane where the Governor General and Madame Gopallawa graced the occasion as the Chief Guests.\u00a0 His creations in batik were modelled by Ceylon\u2019s leading mannequins.\u00a0 Besides being a designer, he also cut and tailored bridal dresses and crafted wedding cake structures for several close friends.\u00a0 A man of many talents, he was an excellent chef, entertainer, musician and tennis player.<\/span><\/p>\n

Willem left the embassy in August 1966 when His Excellency Chanafiah was the Ambassador.\u00a0 The embassy at that time was located at No: 23, Alfred Place, Colombo 3 and the Ambassador\u2019s official residence was at \u201cWisma Duta\u201d No: 16, Edinburgh Crescent (presently Sir Marcus Fernando Mawatha) Colombo 7. He left Sri Lanka in 1969 for Indonesia where he died in a motor accident in Jakarta in 1979.\u00a0 He was buried in the family burial grounds of the Lumanauw\u2019s in Tondano, North Sulaweisi.<\/span><\/p>\n

His wife Sybil Iris Lumanauw, passed away peacefully on 11th<\/sup> June 2011 at the grand old age of 83 years at her ancestral home in Kirillapone, and was laid to rest at the Walles family burial plot RC section of the General Cemetery Borella on 12th<\/sup> June 2011, the day of her 66th<\/sup> wedding anniversary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their son Stanley now 65 years was earlier employed in a travel company owned by Bogstra\u2019s grandson in the mid 1980\u2019s prior to becoming a Gym instructor at St. Thomas and St. Peters College; daughter Veronica 62 was a former staff member of the IWMI, Battaramulla. Their only wish now is to visit Tondano to pay their respects at the grave of their father and to make contact with their relatives in Sulaweisi.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Google search on the internet by the writer showed that there are many Lumanauw\u2019s in Sulaweisi. However these two Lumanaws\u2019 are the only \u201cIndonesian Burghers\u201d in Sri Lanka.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They are truly the \u201cLast of the Mohicans\u201d. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
