JAKARTA - PDIP politician, Arteria Dahlan, admitted that he was proud to see House of Representatives Speaker, Puan Maharani, wearing Minangkabau traditional clothes while reading the text of the 76th Indonesian Independence Proclamation at the State Palace, Tuesday, August 17.

"Mrs. Puan really fits Minang clothes. She looks elegant and more beautiful. And I think all Minang people both in the Minang realm and overseas have the same opinion about this. It further shows that the Minangkabau lineage is very real and thick in Mrs. Puan's body and soul", said Arteria in a statement received by VOI, Wednesday, August 18.

"I'm sure the same pride is also felt by all the people of West Sumatra", he continued.

Puan, said Arteria, not only wanted to introduce Minangkabau culture through traditional clothes or traditional clothes from Lintau, Tanah Datar, West Sumatra. However, through the clothing, many meanings can be presented.

"If the Minang people understand that, it's not an ordinary dress and is worn in a very sacred forum, it is appropriate as a bundo kanduangnya urang Minang (Minang's mother). She wears it in a sacred situation, showing the Soekarno-Hatta duality, thick traces of the message of reading the text of the proclamation by him Grandson The biological and ideological proclaimer Bung Karno also represents Bung Hatta, who is of Minang blood", said Arteria.

According to Arteria, Puan also wants to convey a message because the clothes are a symbol of the greatness, splendor, and glory of women in Minangkabau. As the bundo kanduangnya Minangkabau people, he said, the first female House of Representatives Speaker fully understands that the honor and greatness of Minangkabau women is shown through the clothes she wears.

"Not only matrilineal lines, the clothes show that Minang women are egalitarian, very responsible and become the axis of the family and are not under the autocracy of their husbands. Because men usually go abroad", he explained.

Puan also wants to convey a message, be proud to be a woman, especially for Minang women. Wherever you are, you will wear Minang, it is the woman who has the inheritance, bapandam bapakuburan (The group has a burial place when death has arrived). So that it is not affected by the culture brought by her husband. Because of that he still wears the clothes of the Nagari where he comes from.

It is the woman, he said, who will give birth to and shape the nation's successors. Continuing at the same time making a new history for the tribe and its people.

"Hopefully it will make the Minang people proud of Mrs. Puan. She is very Minang, both in thought, action, and policy. Get to know her more closely, it will make you proud", said Arteria.

"She is a young figure with a myriad of achievements, assets and at the same time the pride of the Minang people, both in the Minang realm and overseas", he said.
