Silaturahim (communal togetherness) activists between Banjar people in Banua (South Kalimantan) and Banjar people in Malaysia must know Mohammad Ary.


The man who lives in the city of Banjarmasin is indeed determined to increase the relationship where the Banjar people are. Both in South Kalimantan, East Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan, or Banjar people in Java and Sulawesi, as well as Banjar people in Tembilahan, Kuala Tunggal, and Deliserdang Sumatra.

But what is often visited by the former Head of the General Bureau at the Lambung Mangkurat University (Unlam) Secretariat office is Malaysia.

He went to Malaysia both for personal visits or related to "Batiti kulaan" coverage, namely the Banjar TV's program. This guy whose hobby is ontel (old bike) cycling is one of the hosts of the event.

According to the father of two sons, the friendship between the Banjar people is important. By visiting each other we can exchange ideas, share experiences, which in turn improves lives better with each other.

It turned out that visiting each other had opened a kinship relationship that had been interrupted, because many Banjar people in the overseas wanted to know about their families in Banua.

The meeting of the Banjar people is usually held during halal bi halal, aruh ganal, and other activities, including the titian muhibah.

Such times are common for many banjar people to gather and provide information to each other about the ancestral lines that are still in Banua.

Some disconnected relationships were reconnected through the Kulaan Banjar Silaturahmi Forum (FSKB) which has accounts in the FB and WA groups.

Even the walk of the FSKB muhibah has opened up opportunities for susur galur tour (tours to search for the line of ancestors) and now almost half a month comes a group of Malaysians to Banua (South Kalimantan).
