          Catfish statue is icon Bekasi (1995-2002). Catfish statue is actually shaped like a catfish and wild mangosteen, but more commonly known as the Statue of catfish. The Catfish and wild mangosteen Statue was built in 1955 by an order from the local Regent, Moch. Djamhari. He felt catfish and wild mangosteen very suitable to be used as icon because the two crops are growing rapidly in Bekasi.
          But people think different, the statue is considered less appropriate become icons because catfish is a voracious fish and wild mangosteen is a very cheap fruit. Finally on April 24, 2002, some people came and burn the statue. After that, catfish statue has replaced by the big clock with large buffer for ads space.

         Daendels Road also known as The Great Post Road is the name for the historical road that runs across Java that connects Anyer and Panarukan. It was built during the reign of governor-general of the Dutch East Indies Herman Willem Daendels (1808–1811). Daendels faced difficult conditions in Dutch East Indies when he was starting the road construction. The financial situation in the colony was so tight that the minister of Colonial Affairs in The Hague sent him a letter emphasizing the difficult financial situation and the need to reduce expenditures. English was surely a big threat, there were uprisings in Banten and Cirebon, and some of Daendels opponents, who were alienated from him, took a negative side against him. Daendels then decided to use Javanese unpaid forced laborers to perform most of the heavy work.
         The thousand-kilometre road was completed in only one year, during which thousands of Javanese forced labourers died. It's a remarkable achievement and that's why the name of Daendels and Post Road are so famous until now. The road now serves as the main road in the island of Java, called Jalur Pantura.

         Jakarta is the capital city of the Republic of Indonesia. The first mention of Jakarta in the historical records was during the 4th century; at this time it was a Hindu settlement and port. Since this time, the city had been variously claimed by the Indianized kingdom of Tarumanegara, the Hindu Kingdom of Sunda, the Muslim Sultanate of Banten, the Dutch East Indies, the Empire of Japan and finally, Indonesia.
         Jakarta has been known under several names: Sunda Kelapa, during the Kingdom of Sunda period (669–1527); Jayakarta, Djajakarta or Jacatra, during the short period of the Banten Sultanate (1527–1619); Batavia, under the Dutch colonial empire; and when Batavia fell to the Japanese (March 5, 1942). The Dutch formally surrendered to the Japanese occupation forces on March 9, 1942, and rule of the colony was transferred to Japan. The city was renamed "Jakarta".
