Dear readers;

I am a specialist in the history of Indonesian Royalty/Principalities and I am seaching for pictures(old and new)of Indonesian Kings,etc. outside middle-Java.I go every year to Indonesian to do researches about the monarchs there.Alhough I already have 5.000 pictures,I am still searching for more.Most of the times I went to Timor.This year I am going again to Timor,Semau and the paradise like island of Rote.
Also I want to visit Singapore after a invitation of the Sultan and vice-king dynasty of Riau-Lingga(in exile).Some of my pictures you can see online at:
www.dreamwater.net/regiment/RoyalArk/royalark.htm or http://riaulingga.nl
(There are other websites).Just search for Donald Tick Pusaka and you will find them.
Thank you for your attention and reaction.In 2004(medio july)I shall visit the 4th Indonesian Royal Festival in Yogjakarta(Festival Keraton Nusantara IV);attended by ca. 50 kings and their Royal courts.Open for the public.A real fairytale sometimes.I shall go there as the assistant of the Raja of Kupang/Timor.
Yours sincerely:

Hi,
I had a look at your site about Riau Lingga, which is a great resource for us who are interested in the fascinating history of Riau. A small correction: the correct link should be http://www.riaulingga.com/. I hope somebody can send you some more photos!
