... that the Dutch ordered Roosseno Soerjohadikoesoemo to destroy bridges, but then the Japanese ordered him to build it back? Source: "When the Japanese came close to invading Java in 194I (he was in his thirties at the time), Mr Roosseno was ordered by the Dutch authorities to destroy bridges. 'One hundred fifty bridges,' he says, and I can hear his smile. Six months later the Dutch surrendered, and the Japanese occupying authorities ordered Mr Roosseno to rebuild the bridges" Mrázek, Rudolf (2004).

ALT1:... that Roosseno Soerjohadikoesoemo converted to Christianity, received Christian funerary rites, then was posthumously received back to Islam? Source: "In the end, it was arranged like that: first, the Christian services were held in the woman's house; then to the church, before they brought him here, to Cemara; then we drove him to the mosque, where he was received back to Islam" (same as above, p437)
