Mang Dayat Episode 64
This time, Mang Dayat will tell you about the origins of the name Jakabaring. Jakabaring is a rapidly growing area. Can you tell us about Jakabaring then and now? Watch Mang Dayat's video until the end.
People in Palembang have surely heard rumors of a place where spirits abandon their children, revealing how desolate the place is. One area that once earned this reputation was Jakabaring. Before the 1970s, Jakabaring was undeveloped. While road access to Plaju and Kertapati was already built, the area remained empty and uninhabited.
Currently, Jakabaring is not only known in Palembang and Indonesia, but also internationally. Every time Palembang hosts a national or international event, Jakabaring's name is mentioned, adding to the series of historical events that have taken place, including the 2004 National Games, the 2011 Sea Games, the 2018 ASEAN Games, the 2019 Indonesian Motocross Grand Prix (MXGP), and many other international events. Jakabaring is currently gearing up for the World Cup. U-20
In addition to Jakabaring's facilities for various international-level sporting events, its rapid growth is also supported by the construction of public facilities and offices, such as the General Elections Commission (KPU) office, the Bank Sumsel skyscraper, Opi Mall, the Jakabaring Main Market, and more. The Jakabaring main market is truly remarkable. It was once the main market for Pasar 16, but was later moved to Jakabaring during the 2004 National Games (PON).
Jakabaring was previously a vast swampy area and not a residential area, so it has no historical information. Regarding the origin of the name Jakabaring, Mang Dayat quoted Palembang history observer RD Muhammad Iksan from tribunsumsel.com. The information he obtained suggests that the origin of the name Jakabaring stems from the pre-existing settlements of several regions. Ja means Javanese, Ka means Kaba (the name for the people of Basemah), Ba means Batak, and Ring means Komering, who settled there, hence the name Jakabaring.
