Remy Sylado. It was first published as a regular column
in Aktuil Magazine, a leading Bandung’s youth magazine
in the 1970’s. During its time, this magazine is considered
as the only publication that recorded and accommodated cultural
aspiration of young urban generation in Bandung and other
city such as Jakarta, Surabaya, and Medan, reaching 126.000
