The people of West Sumatra belong to an ethnic group known as Minangkabau, a people with a rich and ancient culture. The bull is extremely important to their culture. The first thing one notices in West Sumatra is the huge roofs pointed upward at the sides. The traditional Minangkabau house was known as Rumah Gadang or Rumah Adat, and was covered with colorful woodcarvings. This one in Bukittinggi is a good example.
Tongkonan is the traditional ancestral house, or rumah adat of the Torajan people, in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Tongkonan have a distinguishing boat-shaped and oversized saddleback roof. Like most of Indonesia’s Austronesian-based traditional architecture tongkonan are built on piles. The construction of tongkonan is laborious work and it is usually built with the help of all family members or friends. In the original Toraja society, only nobles had the right to build tongkonan. Commoners live in smaller and less decorated homes called banua.

Had a few requests for individual M113s. All my variants work off my PA chassis. Here is the ADATS variant.
The layout of the Toraja adat houses is imbued with symbolic meaning. The orientation of the tongkonans has cosmological connotations, and the design of the carved decorations on the front has symbolic significance since it contains a variety of messages about social hierarchy and structure, and the relations to the world of the spirits.
As described above, the creator Puang Matua is associated with the North, and therefore the tongkonan must also face North. The South of the house is associated with the afterworld (heaven, or Puya) and the ancestors. The West and the East are associated with the left and right hands of the human body, but also with the world of the gods (East) and the ancestors in their deified form (West).

A pleasant train ride of about an hour to the south of Kuala Lumpur through lush, rolling countryside takes you to the capital of Negeri Sembilan, one of the thirteen states which constitute Malaysia. Its capital is the friendly town of Seremban, which came to prominence in the late nineteenth century in the wake of the discovery of tin and the realisation that the local climate is very suitable for growing fruit.
In the very centre of town just a hop-skip-jump from the railway station is this pretty valley with two man-made lakes. Beautifully landscaped, it is also a carefully tended botanical garden aglow with blossoming trees among which the Hibiscus is perhaps the most prominent. And there's a nice pond for Lotus as well. All is highly relaxing and pretty.
This photo was taken in the direction of the railway station about halfway along the ponds. On hill's edge is the 'new' (1967-1970) state mosque, whose archictect is Chong Keat Lim (1947). A closer examination than this photo allows would show that he's combined modernism with elements from traditional Minangkabau culture (originating in western Sumatra). The next time I travel here, I must look more carefully to see to what degree adat perpatih is still practiced; that is to say, the age-old Minangkabau practice of matrilineality and of giving women a higher social status than men.
The M32-ADATS variant is bases around a modified version of the baseline model's turret, although the 30mm cannon has been replaced with a the five-barrelled, 25mm GUA-18 gattling gun. This model also includes an upgraded version of the Swiss-desgigned ADATS (air defense/anti-tank system), providing the ability to engage almost any conventional target. The onboard laser targetting system allows fire-and-forget engagements with enemies both on the ground or in the air, while the M32's sophisticated networking ability allows the system to use friendly radar signals to pinpoint and intercept aerial targets as well.
