Gawai Nosu Minu Podi: Sacred Cultural Festival from Sanggau that Promotes Green Economy

Gawai Nosu Minu Podi: Sacred Cultural Festival from Sanggau that Promotes Green Economy.

Hey, Culture Enthusiasts! Have you ever heard of Gawai Nosu Minu Podi? If not, it’s time to get to know one of Indonesia’s most meaningful traditional festivals from Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan. This isn’t just an ordinary celebration—it’s a sacred cultural ritual passed down through generations.

On Friday night, June 20, 2025, the village of Entakai in Kapuas District came alive with spiritual energy and a strong sense of community. The event was officially opened by Sanggau’s Vice Regent, Susana Herpena, S.Sos., M.H., who joined the celebration to show support and honor this important local tradition.

“This is a moment for us as indigenous communities to pause from our daily routines, reflect, give thanks, and pay respect to nature and our ancestors,” said Vice Regent Susana sincerely.

She explained that Nosu Minu Podi literally means “to lift the spirit of the rice.” However, on a deeper level, it symbolizes success in farming, patience, and the harmony between humans and nature.

More Than Culture – It’s Part of Regional Development

This cultural tradition is also aligned with the local government’s mission for regional growth. Vice Regent Susana emphasized that preserving culture, tradition, and the environment is a key pillar of Sanggau’s development strategy.

“Gawai Nosu Minu Podi is a great example of local wisdom that supports cultural preservation, environmental sustainability, and green economic development,” she explained.

Through events like this, communities are encouraged to reconnect with ancestral values and learn how to manage natural resources in sustainable and respectful ways. It’s not just about heritage—it’s about building a better, greener future.

Boosting Community Welfare and Local Economy

What makes this festival even more interesting is its impact on the local economy. Besides strengthening community ties, Gawai Nosu Minu Podi opens economic opportunities—from promoting local crops and handmade crafts to attracting cultural tourism.

“We hope that through this celebration, we can stimulate the local economy, improve community welfare, and support the progress of our people,” said Susana.

A Cultural Legacy Worth Preserving

For anyone passionate about Indonesian culture, Gawai Nosu Minu Podi is something truly special. It’s not just rich in tradition and meaning—it carries a powerful message: living in harmony with nature and respecting our ancestors are essential values for a sustainable life.

So let’s support and preserve traditions like these. Culture isn’t just something we remember—it’s something we protect and pass on to future generations.

Surau Raden Sulaiman Historical Traces of Sambas Become a Tourist Destination

Surau Raden Sulaiman Historical Traces of Sambas Become a Tourist Destination.

Sambas, West Kalimantan - Surau Raden Sulaiman in Sebangun Village, which is the most important part of the historical traces and evidence of Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan, is now being worked on and is targeted to become a historical and religious tourist destination in the area.

"Now the government of Sebangun Village has formed a restoration committee. Hopefully this will be realized quickly and make Surau Raden Sulaiman accessible to tourists," said Head of Sebangun Village Sarbini when contacted at Sambas, Monday (20/2/2023).

Sarbini explained why Raden Sulaiman Surau became a tourist destination because Raden Sulaiman was the founding figure as well as the first king of Sambas with the title Sultan Muhammad Shafiuddin I.

From various references, he said, Kota Bangun was the first site of Raja Tengah or the father of Raden Sulaiman who founded a village when he first came to Sambas.

"It was in Bangun City that the forerunner to the establishment of the Islamic Sambas Kingdom, the legacy that has existed until now is a surau, the local community named Surau Raden Sulaiman," he said.

It was also explained that the mention of the term sultanate began when Raden Sulaiman was crowned ruler in Sambas with the title Sultan Muhammad Tsafiuddin.  The Sambas Sultanate only started its history at the beginning of the development of Islam since the early 16th century.

He stated that it was hoped that the Pemdes Sebangun with this historical tour could have an economic impact on the community.

In this way, he said, local residents have the opportunity to earn income, for example by making a kind of trinkets and culinary delights typical of Sebangun Village in the form of processed sago as souvenirs for tourists to take home.

BorneoTribun Pontianak, West Kalimantan - Personnel from the Border Security Task Force of Infantry Battalion 643/Wanara Sakti have thwarted an attempt to smuggle 350 oriental magpie-robins (Copsychus saularis) in Entikong Sub-district, Sanggau District, West Kalimantan Province.

"We managed to secure the 350 wild oriental magpie-robins during an inspection at the border post," commander of the task force, Lieutenant Colonel Hendro Wicaksono, said in Sanggau District on Saturday.

The security personnel, led by Second Sergeant Toni, were conducting a routine inspection of vehicles at the post when they saw a suspicious car, he informed.

The car was found carrying hundreds of wild birds without official documents, he said.

"Furthermore, our personnel detained the driver of the car with the initials TN (46). In addition, we collected the data of the wild animals, which will be submitted to the Entikong Agricultural and Animal Quarantine Center for further processing," the task force commander added.

The driver told the task force that the birds were received from a Malaysian resident in the border area, he informed.

"The oriental magpie-robins were brought into Indonesia through a discreet route to be sold in Sanggau District," he said.

"We are committed to guarding the Indonesian border from any illegal acts, including the smuggling of wild animals," Wicaksono added.

A representative from the Entikong Agricultural and Animal Quarantine Center, Syam Widartoko, lauded the task force, saying it has often thwarted wildlife smuggling in border areas and has acted as a deterrent for people still trying to traffic animals.

“We thank the task force for their good coordination and cooperation, so we can save another wildlife. In the near future, we will release these wild animals to their habitats," he said.

Oriental magpie-robins are not protected by Indonesian law, he said. However, their popularity as cage-birds due to their beautiful singing has led to an increasing decline in their population in some areas, he added. (*)

This is The Reason The West Kalimantan Provincial Government Destroyed 38,880 Illegal Eggs

This is The Reason The West Kalimantan Provincial Government Destroyed 38,880 Illegal Eggs

West Kalimantan Provincial Government destroyed 38,880 illegal eggs.

BorneoTribun Pontianak, West Kalimantan - The Provincial Government (Pemprov) of West Kalimantan (Kalbar) destroyed 38,880 illegal eggs consisting of 28,080 salted eggs, 2,400 duck eggs, and 8,400 Arab chicken eggs.

Reported by BorneoTribun from Kalbaronline, Monday (31/1/2022), the extermination was led directly by the Regional Secretary of West Kalimantan Province, Harisson, together with the West Kalimantan Provincial Civil Service Police Unit in the yard of the West Kalimantan Civil Service Police Unit, Monday (31/1/2022).

"The eggs that were destroyed were imported from Central Java and entered West Kalimantan without official documents," said Harisson.

This, he said, clearly violates the administrative requirements set out in Perda No. 2 of 2016 and Pergub of West Kalimantan No. 141 of 2017 concerning instructions for implementing the Perda.

"In addition to violating the rules, it also causes damage to the egg trading system as well as disrupts the stability of egg prices. So we destroy it by burying it and then burning it," said Harisson.

Harisson explained that the illegal eggs were found based on a raid conducted by the West Kalimantan Provincial Satpol PP.

"Where, the Civil Service Police Unit received information from the public regarding the existence of illegal eggs imported from Semarang, Central Java and then taken to one of the expedition warehouses in Kubu Raya. The owner of the warehouse itself, said Harisson, has been investigated," he concluded.

“A warehouse owner admitted that the eggs were illegal without official documents. This is very dangerous to public health, apart from damaging the trade system and price stability. To the owner of the warehouse, we impose a warning sanction not to repeat his actions. We will make sure that we will take measurable action if we do it again,” he said.

Harisson also explained the reason the eggs should be destroyed rather than given to the public or resold. According to him, if it is handed over to the community, of course there is no guarantee that the eggs are safe and harmless.

"Meanwhile, if we sell it again, it will damage the trade system, so we still have to destroy it," he concluded.

Meanwhile, the Head of the West Kalimantan Civil Service Police Unit, Antonius Rawing, said the eggs were the result of controlling in one of the warehouses of business actors whose documents had been examined.

"From the results of the examination, there is not a single document that they can prove. The types of eggs that were destroyed were salted eggs and Arabic chicken eggs," he said.

This is the second time this extermination has been carried out. The first extermination was carried out in December 2021 with a total of 1,200 Arabic chicken eggs originating from East Java.

The illegal eggs have violated Regional Regulation Number 2 of 2016 concerning the Implementation of Livestock and Animal Health and West Kalimantan Governor Regulation Number 141 of 2017 concerning the Implementation of Livestock and Animal Health

"With this extermination, we hope that there will be a deterrent effect for business actors not to import illegal eggs into West Kalimantan," he said.

West Kalimantan Governor Sutarmidji.

Borneo Tribun Pontianak, West Kalimantan - West Kalimantan Governor Sutarmidji is furious with the performance of public relations within the West Kalimantan Provincial Government. Public relations, which is actually the mouthpiece of the government, is actually considered not functioning.

This was conveyed by Midji while leading the commemoration ceremony for the 65th Anniversary of the West Kalimantan Provincial Government, last Friday.

“So far, I say that public relations is not functioning properly because of a lack of understanding. There are only good at taking pictures here and there, and there are no good photos,” said Midji.

According to Midji, this is not right. This is because, he stressed, there are many programs and developments that have been achieved by the West Kalimantan Provincial Government, which are not widely known by the public.

“Humas is the mouthpiece of what the West Kalimantan Provincial Government has done. We've done a lot of things but nothing has ever been properly exposed. So I have to expose myself via my social media accounts, this is actually not true. If we talk about what the provincial government has done, PR must speak up," he said.

He also emphasized that public relations should no longer be filled with people who do not have extensive knowledge. Because, according to Midji, public relations is a place for creative, innovative, and broad-minded people.

“Understanding the intricacies of the economy, social life with development and so on. That is the function of public relations,” he concluded.(*)
