Knit national unity Government student science association (Ikamita) Medan university area general lecture degree. With the theme "politics of human identity boat" Wednesday, July 3, 2019 at the Convention Hall, 3rd Floor University of Medan Area. With the speaker Mr. Idris Pasaribu, SH and Mr. Armansyah Matondang, S. Sos M.Sc.
Boat people or also called pincalang are people who live from island to island. Pancalang people live along the Indonesian sea from east to west. Limps carry on their daily lives at sea. Starting from eating, drinking, getting married, giving birth and other needs and activities carried out on a boat.
Pincalang is known for its local wisdom and has a knowledge of palak that can read the situation and natural conditions. when it will rain, storms come and so on. Limps are very primitive, but they are very religious. They cannot read and write, but they memorize the Qur'an and are very fluent. And devout worship five prayers
Limps really hate people who live on land, and assume that land people are con artists and cannot be trusted.
But there is a very interesting thing delivered by the speaker Mr. Idris Pasaribu, SH that "although the primitive and backward crippled people but they are people who really care about the condition of the Indonesian sea. And they are also the last defense in Indonesia's marine zone. Why is that said by the speaker, because they guard the Indonesian sea without being paid a penny. Even if a foreign ship enters, then the crippled person will immediately block it without fear and without direction from the government.
Then connected by the second speaker, Mr. Armansyah Mantondang, S. Sos M.Si, which is about the political location of the boat or limpalang human identity, namely the equality of rights that are neglected, oppressed, and isolated. Therefore boat people form groups with one thing in common wanting to get the same rights. However, it is unfortunate that until now they have not been touched by the government, even though regional autonomy as a realization of decentralization has been intensified after the reformation.
