The challenge is named after another national hero - but later than the esteemed Sultan

Closer - both in time (of the patriot) and location - but not Pekanbaru. Here's a navaid to help. It's not a terribly busy spot TBH
That might be the lady who , amongst other things, made the actual flag that was hoisted on 17th August 1945. She was a Benkulu lass................
not too far off 24 hours - Bear has it with Bengkulu 
It was due to be upgraded significantly I believe but I haven't heard if they've finished it
Oddly the area remained in the hands of the British for 140 years until as late as 1824 - when it was swapped for Malacca

The KLM Helicopters and NZ(O, then G then C) led me to https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/786
My question is: how the hell did it end up there if it crashed into the North Sea???

from teh same link you quoted
"…their boneyard, a valuable source of repurposed parts, contain relics with stories. Way too many to list. But here are two. The remains of Sikorsky S-61N PH-NZC- flying to a North Sea oil rig, one rotor blade failed due to corrosion. All 6 crew lost May 1974. "
I'd guess that bits for an S-61 were more likely to be (re-) used in the USA than in Europe.

Ombinda has it with Perkasie Heliport home of Carson Helicopters.
The largest S61/SH-3 refurbishing company.
They produce carbon fiber blades and can install a glass cockpit.
This one of the few locations where it is likely that S-61 hulks can be found.
But it also gives me some thoughts about which parts of a crashed and salt water submerged helicopter you can safely reuse and sell which makes it worthwhile to ship the whole carcass to the USA.
