JAMBI (20 August 2024) - To strengthen the relationship between the government and remote indigenous communities in the celebration of the 79th Independence Day of Indonesia, Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini, showed the presence of the state by visiting Suku Anak Dalam community in Batanghari Regency, Jambi, on Tuesday, August 20th, 2024.

The event began with a discussion between Minister of Social Affairs and the Temenggung (traditional leaders) Ngelambo and Ngelambu at the first location, and Temenggung Nyenong, Minang, and Nyirang at the second location. Also present at the discussion were the Director of Social Rehabilitation for Persons with Disabilities, the Director of Social Rehabilitation for Disaster and Emergency Victims, the Director of Social Empowerment for Remote Indigenous Communities, as well as representatives from the Jambi Provincial Government.

On the occasion, Minister of Social Affairs requested that the Temenggung encouraged their citizens to settle in a specific area and not move too far away, to ensure better access to social services and civil administration.

"I will fight for the land later. Don't move around. The children need to school. If you are worried about livelihoods, I can help with that too. You can farm fish, cultivate honey, and agriculture. That's why don't keep moving around so that it's easier for us to help you," Risma stated firmly.

Minister of Social Affairs also directed the MoSA staff to collaborate with local Population and Civil Registration Office to complete population data recording so that residents can quickly be included in the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS).

As part of the festive celebration of Indonesia's Independence Day, the children of Suku Anak Dalam were also invited to compete in various traditional competitions on August 17th, such as cracker eating and soccer competitions. They looked enthusiastic when answering mini quiz from the Minister of Social Affairs.

At the end of the event, each family was provided with assistance including nutrition, clothing, and shelter, as well as complete school supplies for the children, including knowledge books to support their education. This work visit showed MoSA commitment to ensuring the basic rights of Suku Anak Dalam, while also bringing the spirit of independence to areas that are rarely touched by national celebrations.
