Hey OP, everyone is going on about Japan (for some reason), but you mentioned significant leftovers of Dutch culture or the _language_.
On the topic of language we _did_ leave our mark, mostly with loan words.
In Indonesia you pay belasting, in the Netherlands you pay belasting as well. In English that would be taxes.
A kakhus is a kakhuis, is a toilet ;).
Lots of words derived from Dutch. For a full list, check this [wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dutch_loanwords_in_Indonesian)
