The Commander of the Red Forces of the Borneo Bagule Rajakng or TBBR, Jilha Agustinus, said that his party supports the transfer and construction of the State Capital (IKN) from Jakarta to the archipelago in East Kalimantan (Kaltim).
This was conveyed by Jilha when reading out TBBR's statement of attitude in front of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) at the 'Baaump Red Forces Grand Met Bide Bahana Taru Borneo Bagule Rajakng 2022' in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Tuesday 29 November.
"We hope that with the development of IKN, it will have a major impact on community development, culture, and infrastructure development in Kalimantan," he said.
In conveying his statement of attitude, TBBR also fully supports every activity of President Jokowi's government, maintaining and defending the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia towards Indonesia with dignity and upholding Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution.
Jilha also hopes that the government will increase the human resources of Dayak's children, especially in remote areas by placing educational facilities.
In addition, he hopes that Dayak's young people will be given the convenience or special quota to become members of the TNI and Polri. "We miss being generals of the Dayak Tribe in the future," he added.
On that occasion, based on the Antara report, TBBR also expressed his gratitude for President Jokowi's presence at this event. He added that TBBR is engaged in traditional, cultural, preserving, and exploring Dayak's history so that the Dayak people must progress.
The Borneo Bangkule Rajakng Dance Red Troops are an organization of Dayak indigenous peoples engaged in the field of traditional and cultural preservation who are trying to maintain a tradition with the hope that the Dayak community will continue to unite, progress, and be dignified in their own area.
"The traditional ones held at the TBBR grand meeting include asking Jubata (God in the customary community of Dayak) so that the Republic of Indonesia can be better, more advanced, and protected by Jubata so that this land can continue to prosper and the people will be more prosperous. Of course we are very happy because President Joko Widodo can be present in Pontianak at this activity," he said.
Meanwhile, President Jokowi said that support from the Dayak community was needed in the development of IKN in East Kalimantan.
"I am very happy, very honored to be able to attend in touch, to meet the extended family of Taru Borneo Bangkule Rajakng in a very noble big meeting this morning," he said.
