In the body of Sultan Hamid II Alkadrie flowed the blood of his Dayak grandmother, his mother who was a Deathly Hate / South Arab. Only the terminology now classifies Arabic which is identical to Islam, Malay. The Sultanate of Pontianak was led by the Sultan, an ethnic Malay, of Arab / Habib descent. Whereas Hamid also needs to be remembered for Dayak blood, so he is not surprised that he is pro Dayak by forming a Dayak Company who was educated in military science.
Let’s explore the city of Pontianak. Open our eyes all. Read the names of the regions.
If we look at old settlements in this city, we can name Kuantan, Banjar Serasan, Saigon, Siam, Cambodia, Bali, Kampung Arab, Kampung Bugis etc … Search for these names. You will get a pluralistic spirit from the beginning of the formation of this West Kalimantan population residence. The federalist spirit has been in its inception.
Those whose names are outsiders, of course, have the Sultan’s permission to be able to live in Pontianak. They also live in harmony and peace. Likewise, the first Dutch arrival in Pontianak.
