A new edition is coming PEANUT*, the glossy about the Dutch-Indian heritage, reports Villamedia Friday. Due to negative statements about the original name on social media, the magazine continues under the name PINDAH.
The first edition of the Indian glossy appeared on September 19, 2019 PEANUT*. Initially one-off, but due to the successful circulation of 45,000 copies, a second edition will be published in April.
The magazine continues without co-founder and editor-in-chief Ricci Scheldwacht. According to him, a second edition goes against earlier agreements with other parties in the Dutch-Indian community. “PEANUT* was made with government subsidy as a one-off project. It has never been my approach to follow up on that “, says Scheldwacht.
The second issue continues under the editorial board of San Fu Maltha and Simone Jacobus and appears under the name PINDAH. “By the original name PEANUT* we were attacked by aggression on social media, “said the publisher.”Pindah – with an h – means moving in Malay. It is a symbol of migration and the connection with Indonesia. “
Scheldwacht came up with the idea for the magazine ten years ago. The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport gave a one-time subsidy of 50,000 euros to the Indomedia Foundation, which was set up specifically for this purpose.
