Monument building was renovated in 1889 by opzichter van Waterstaat - Department of Public Works JWS van Brussel in the era of Dutch rule. The shape is completely different. From the original stands as tall as 25 meters to just 15 meter away. The new monument was built by the Dutch is often also referred to as De Witt Paal or Tugu Pal White (Pal actually also means 'monument', adapted from the Dutch) , because of the first set until now always colored white.
This Tugu always be the symbolic significance linking the South Seas, the Sultan Palace and Mount Merapi because it is a straight line when viewed from a particular side. Another mystery is right at the monument are the epitome of the Zionist entity as a form of colonial intervention of the Indonesian nation or just a fluke when established?
