Quote uit het boek:
The people that we call the Red-haired or Red Barbarians are one and the same as the Hollanders and
they live on the Western Ocean.
They are greedy and cunning, have ample knowledge of valuable goods, and are skilled at seeking
their own advantage. For profit they do not even hesitate to jeopardise their own lives, and no place
is too distant for them to try and reach it. [...]
Who meets them at sea, will certainly be robbed. Thai-Wan Hoe Tsi (after Groeneveldt)
(Notitie edit: Ik moest hierbij even meewarig lachen, want tegenwoordig jaagt de Nederlandse Marine met opgeheven vingertje in verre wateren op andere piraten.
Extra annekdote terzijde:
In december 2010 bekeek ik (ter plekke in den verre lande ergens in Surabaya) een film en één specifieke scene deed me ook even schateren. Het was een film van Indonesische makelij en verhaalde over de binnenkomst van een patrouille Nederlandse Politionele Troepen (oftewel soldaten, maar we moeten toch het beestje bij zijn echte naam noemen???) in een kleine desa, eind jaren veertig vorige eeuw.
Scene:
Er liepen wat kippen rond en een klein jongetje holde als een speer naar zijn moeder, bang als ie was voor...... het feit, dat zijn kippen gejat werden...: Mak, mak!!!, Awas , londo tekoh. Pitiké di pangan. ( Moeder, moeder !! Pas op, de Hollanders komen. Dekippen worden opgevroten........
