Indonesian stereotypes - they use feeling not logic; warm and friendly people. Source :[link]
If you look closely at Indonesian speaking pattern, they often say "kurasa -insert sentence..." (I feel...-insert sentence). Basically like someone say "I thought that...", but this one "I feel that...".

Keumalahayati

Keumalahayati or Malahayati (fl. 16th century), was an admiral in the navy of the Aceh Sultanate, which ruled the modern area of Aceh Province, Sumatra, Indonesia.[1] Her troops were drawn from Aceh's widows and the army named the "Inong Balee", after the Inong Balee Fortress near the city of Banda Aceh. Some historians rate Keumalahayati as an equal of Semiramis and Catherine the Great while references to her can be found in some Chinese and Western literature.

In June 1602, Her reputation as the guardian of the Aceh Sultanate led England to choose a peaceful, diplomatic method by which to enter the Malacca Strait. A letter from Queen Elizabeth I, brought by James Lancaster to the Sultan, it was Malahayati who led the negotiatation with James Lancaster , the agreement opened the English route to Java and they were soon afterwards able to build merchant offices in Banten. Elizabeth I rewarded Lancaster with a knighthood for his successful diplomacy in Aceh and Banten. Source :[link]
