Pantak is a kind of epigraph to immortalize the names of the people who are well regarded in the Dayak Salako community. A pantak is usually made of wood or stone that is carved into a totem-like sculpture as in the Papuan Asmat tradition.
In this way, KTM PPB managed to pantak the names of the people on the rubber seedlings they produce. Besides immortalizing the names of persons who planted the rubber trees, it can also protect the seedlings they created so as not to be falsified.
At this time, KTM PPB already has 1,000 mata entries seedlings and more than 20,000 batang bawah rubber seedlings, some of which are ready to be grafted.
Word about this initiative finally reached the Media Indonesia and Jakarta Post journalists and contributors. One day, along with a photographer and a local journalist from Pontianak Post, they came to Loncek. But what happened? Is group of journalists was instead “sentenced” with the indigenous law!”
