JAKARTA - The leaders of the Betawi Deliberative Body (Bamus) and the 1982 Betawi Tribe Bamus compactly visited the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono to the DKI Jakarta City Hall, yesterday. They reported to Heru that these two organizations agreed to reunite.

The Betawi community holding organization previously broke out in the Bamus Betawi Grand Conference in 2018. Since then, there has been a dualism of the organization between Bamus Betawi led by Abraham Lunggana or Haji Lulung (deceased) which is now being continued by Riano Ahmad, with the 1982 Betawi Tribe Bamus led by Zainuddin or Oding.

The chairman of the 1982 Betawi Tribe Bamus Oding explained the cause of the resummation of these two mass organizations. Dualism that has occurred for years ultimately caused anxiety among the Betawi tribe mass organizations who are in the 1982 Betawi-Bamus Bamus forum.

"Indeed, there is some kind of anxiety from the leaders of the Betawi mass organizations. There is a split impression, right. So, they encourage us to support us to unite. This is what makes it easier for us to decide to reunite," said Oding when contacted, Wednesday, December 7th.

Sehingga, pada 22 Desember mendatang, Bamus Betawi-Bamus Suku Betawi 1982 akan mendeklarasikan persatuan mereka dengan mengubah nama organasinya menjadi Majelis Amanah Masyarakat Betawi.

The declaration of the Betawi Community Trustees will be held at the DKI Jakarta City Hall and witnessed by the Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono.

In addition, Bamus Betawi-Bamus Suku Betawi 1982 also decided to make Deputy Governor for Culture and Tourism Marullah Matali chairman of the Betawi Community Trustees Council.

Oding explained that these Betawi figures agreed to choose the former Regional Secretary of DKI Jakarta to be their leader because they had a role in the unification process of the 1982 Betawi-Bamus Betawi Tribe.

"Bang Marullah participated in providing a conception of how important this unification is. Because he is the initiator to unite this, finally we agreed to make him our leader, as our priest," explained Oding.
