‘Raiding’ Si Pitung’s House, Kapolrestro Jakut Invites All Parties to Become Part of the Cultural Heritage

progresifjaya.id, JAKARTA – Kapolres Metro Jakarta Utara, Kombes Pol Gidion together with Wakapolres, AKBP Wahyudi conducted a cultural walkthrough of the ‘raid’ of the cultural heritage building of Si Pitung’s house in Cilincing, Monday, (22/4) yesterday.

Kapolres Gidion deliberately took the time to visit this cultural heritage site because he wanted to see for himself up close the history of the building that Si Pitung once visited.

“We saw Si Pitung’s house and we all know that Si Pitung was a Betawi figure who had a big role and contribution in the context of culture and independence in the past,” explained Kapolres Gidion.

And during this visit, he learned that Ahmad Niti was Si Pitung, who was most respected by the Dutch East Indies soldiers at that time.

“Today i also learned that the character Si Pitung is a figure from Ahmad Niti Kusuma,” he admitted.

Kapolres Gidion also said, that it was difficult to clearly detail Si Pitung’s figure, both his face and personality. Even so, the house he visited with his entourage was still recognized as having high historical value.

“I clearly admit that this museum cannot conclude what Si Pitung’s face and personal profile are like. But we can also understand that this is a way or way for us to get there,” he said.

According to Kapolres Gidion, the existence of the Si Pitung house also plays a big role in reaching the younger generation to love Betawi culture. There is a cultural gravity of civilization that allows young people to learn a lot about civilization and the origins of Betawi culture.

However, to attract the interest of the younger generation to love their culture, significant breakthroughs are still needed.

“There needs to be an event. Then it is necessary to institutionalize certain events that are oriented towards the Si Pitung figure himself and Betawi culture in general. That will increase public interest and foster an atmosphere of tourist destination at Si Pitung’s house,” he explained.

“And most importantly, all parties must also be actively involved in becoming part of Betawi culture. We both have a moral responsibility to be part of the Betawi culture of Si Pitung’s house,” he added. (Bembo)
