Sultan Hamid II has even recruited 100 Dayaks to be trained as police officers. Trained from very basic. Even many do not know to read and write.
Naturally in his day, Sultan Hamid was idolized to remote areas. In addition to the love of the region, Sultan Hamid II also loved INDONESIA. He wants to be with other regions / federations to be part of one INDONESIA COUNTRY.
But the direction of his thinking was the FEDERAL STATE / UNITED STATES OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA. This is what he fought for in negotiations which could finally be agreed upon. DIKB also became a part of RIS. It was through RIS that the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia was recognized by the Netherlands and followed other countries in the universe until now.
