Raja Tonggo Tua Sinambela of Bakkara (Raja Sisingamangaraja XV)

Left:

This Raja Ir. Tonggo Tua Sinambela is living in Medan, but actually is the Raja of an area called Bakkara; near the Lake Toba.
He is the 15th raja of a dynasty, who emerged in middle Sumatra in the middle of the 16th century as a sort of chiefs of the Batak religious culture;of all the Batak peoples.Sometimes they were called the "pope" of the Batak world.
The last ruling Sisingamangaraja was Raja Sisingamangaraja XII (Raja Ompu Pulo Patuan Bosar Sinambela), who ruled 1870-1907 as Raja of Bakkara,but because absolutely not showing any feelings of trying to understand, that the Dutch east-Indish Government also had several good intentions in his area, he was made to flee to Pea Radja in the Dairi area from 1889.
On the 17th of june 1907 he was killed near Pulubatu because of a language misunderstanding.Raja Sisingamangaraja XII then wanted to surrender to a trfoup of Dutch East-Indish soldiers and said in his language, that he erally had the intention to do so and wanted to give his long dagger to the soldiers, but one of then taught, that he wanted to take his weapon to kill them.
Before the leading officer Captain Christoffel could prevent that,t he bad thing already had happened and the Raja was death.
In a honourfull way the body of the raja was then brought to another place.
Later his family became interested in the Christian belief and remained as such.
Traditional Batak people asked the Dutch East-Indish Government later to let install his 3rd son Raja Karel Bontal as Raja Sisingamangaradja XIII,which wasn't approved. Traditional Batak people saw him however as Raja Sisingamangaraja XIII.
Raja Ir. Tonggo Tua Sinambela is een by traditional Batak people as Raja Sisingamangaraja XV. Espacially since the official rememberering of the 100 years of the death of his greatgrandfather Raja Sisingamangaraja an Indonesian National Hero, he more comes into the open.
He must be a kind and humble nobleman,who really likes to explain,that the "Boss of the world" is in Heaven and that he as a wordly raja and a bit religious traditional symbol, is only his representative.

Royals to do 'good' for Yudhoyono

Desy Nurhayati , The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Mon, 12/01/2008 10:36 AM | National

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has denied a a gathering held with royals and palace representatives at the State Palace on Saturday had any political motives.

The event, held for the National Royal Palace Forum (Forum Keraton Nusantara), was attended by kings and representatives from 17 palaces nationwide.

"This (gathering) is not a political forum. This is a forum for culture, heritage and civilization that shows the greatness of our nation. We should not relate this to politics," Yudhoyono said in his speech.

Forum head Ida Tjokorda Ngurah Jambe Pamecutan of Bali thanked Yudhoyono's administration for supporting the forum's establishment two years ago.

He said the country's palace community had started to become marginalized because of great improvements in the political system and democracy.

"But Bapak President has done many things for us, and we will do 'good deeds' in return," he said, without going into detail.

Support from the community will mean a lot for Yudhoyono, who will run for another term as president in the election next year.

Forum member Azwar Anas of West Sumatra denied claims that the community's "good deeds" for Yudhoyono would include voting for him in the 2009 election.

"No, it's not about politics. What we were referring to as good deeds is about participating in the development and not becoming troublemakers in this country," he added.

He said it was only during Yudhoyono's term that a ministerial decree was issued as a legal basis to establish the forum, which now has 118 members nationwide.

Anas said he personally supported Yudhoyono and Vice President Jusuf Kalla in their bid for a second term.

"I think if Yudhoyono and Kalla once again won the election, Indonesia would become an advanced country. They should be given a second chance for the next five years to complete their programs," he said.

The President said palaces were part of the country's diverse heritage and should be preserved.

"Palaces are part of our civilization. If we can preserve our civilization, we will be able to improve our self-reliance and competitiveness to be a developed country in the 21st century," he said.

Yudhoyono told the forum that palace communities should participate in the country's development by maintaining their culture, with support from the government.

"If the palace community can play its role, it would be a great contribution for this nation."

Among those attending the event were Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wacik, Coordinating Minister for the People's Welfare Aburizal Bakrie, Home Minister Mardiyanto and Cabinet Secretary Sudi Silalahi.

King of the Yogyakarta Palace Sultan Hamengkubuwono X did not attend. The sultan -- the governor of Yogyakarta and a member of the country's largest political party, Golkar -- has announced he will run for president next year, thus becoming one of Yudhoyono's political rivals.
