In contrast to the descendants of national heroes whose lives are guaranteed, Rachmi Aziyah, the only daughter of the late composer Ismail Marzuki, experienced a different fate. Not living a life full of luxury, Rachmi was forced to live in a simple rented house.
In order to make ends meet, Rachmi Aziyah even has to sell ice on the side of the road in front of her rented house. Assisted by her youngest child who is already married, Rachmi admits that she gets an uncertain profit, around IDR 50-70 thousand per day.
Recently, Baim Wong came to visit Rachmi Aziyah's rented house in Depok, West Java. Rachmi revealed that she had lived in the rented house for 22 years. However, now he is confused about where else to live, considering that the rented house is planned to be sold by the owner.
"I rented from Rp. 500 thousand per year, now it's Rp. 6.5 million. I rented annually and want to sell it. It's been 22 years," explained Rachmi Aziyah, daughter of Ismail Marzuki.
Ismail Marzuki is a composer and National Hero. Some of his songs about nationality are Indonesia Pusaka, Autumn Bunga to Halo, Halo Bandung.

"Yes, there is an excess, sometimes IDR 50 thousand or IDR 70 thousand, not sure. That's a profit. Yes, it's enough for kitchen costs. If not, where does it come from? Why don't we sue the government?" said Rachmi, reported by YouTube MerdekaDotCom.
