The Five Day Battle in Semarang Oct 1945. A scene in the museum.  About invader and independence. 

 Below is the same location today - a frantic roundabout with monument and fountain in Semarang - a go-ahead entertaining and big city on a hilly setting that runs down to the sea front and port where there is an Old City with Dutch, Arabian and Chinese buildings that struggle to keep standing.

A new shopping mall is shown.

Few special security measures are apparent, private security is usual found around most city doorways.
