Ali Anyang was born in the village of Nanga
Menantak (now entered Ambalau sub-district, Sintang district). His parents,
Lakak and Liang gave him the name, Anjang. In this Dayak family, Ali Anyang is
the youngest of seven brothers.
After 8 years, Ali Anyang became the
adopted son of Raden Mas Suadi Djoyomiharjo, a principal in the Sintang area.
Then change the original name of Ali Anyang ie Anjang become Muhammad Ali
Anyang. He obtained the teachings of Islam from his adoptive parents. In his
education, Ali Anyang had attended Holland Inlandsche School (HIS) in
Pontianak. After graduating from HIS, proceeded to the Centrale Burgerlijke
Ziekem Inrichting School (CBZ) or the Government General Hospital in Semarang.
After graduation go back to
As a young man with a high nationalist
spirit, Ali Anyang was moved to serve and to fight for independence. It is
realized by joining with a number of young men who call themselves the
Committee of the Republic of Indonesia (PPRI). The purpose of the establishment
of the PPRI is to disseminate the news of the Proclamation of Indonesian
independence to all regions in West Kalimantan.
As a member of PPRI, Ali Anyang plays a
role in preventing the struggle for power in Pontianak, which will be the
Chinese who are members of the Public Security Guard (PKO) organization. As is
known, in line with the receipt of the news of the Proclamation of Indonesian
Independence, in Pontianak on August 27, 1945, there was a government vacuum.
On September 29, 1945, not long after the
Japanese troops left, Pontianak came the arrival of Australian and Dutch troops
(NICA) intending to seize power previously occupied by the Japanese occupiers.
The arrival of Australian troops in Pontianak lasted only about a month. Later
in October 1945, the power over West Kalimantan was handed over to the Dutch by
his Resident named Van Der Zwaal.
The arrival of NICA who intend to colonize
again Kalbar, got challenges from the community. Ali Anyang and other
independence fighters tried to block the Dutch intention. On November 12, 1945,
Ali Anyang along with other fighters stormed into the barracks and the Dutch
ammunition storehouse in Pontianak. The raids resulted in some of the fighters
having been seriously injured and some were killed. Ali Anyang himself was
later arrested and detained in the jail of Sei Jawi Pontianak. [1]
A few months later, in February 1946, Ali
Anyang was freed. Upon leaving the prison, Soedarso's doctor as Chairman of the
PPRI ordered Ali Anyang for consolidation and coordination to all fighters to
continue to fight against the Dutch in the regions. Because in the city of
Pontianak it was difficult to do the movement.
After receiving orders from Soedarso's
doctor, Ali Anyang went to North West Kalimantan area, among others to
Mempawah, Singkawang and Sambas. Arrive at Singkawang. He was designated as
Commander of the Uprising in West Kalimantan by the rebel Barisan Republik
Indonesia (BPRI) organization. Next he composed and coordinated all the forces
that existed. On April 1, 1946, formed an organization named Barisan Rebel
Indonesia Kalbar (BPIKB) based in Bengkayang which commanded by Ali Anyang.
On August 31, 1945, Ali Anyang and BPIKB
troops planned to invade Dutch troops in Bengkayang which was a military parade
commemorating the big day of Queen Wilhelmina. But the raid failed because the
Dutch were keeping a tight watch.
The failure of the first attack did not
make the forces of Ali Anyang despair. One year later, on October 8, 1946, Ali
Anyang and his troops again stormed the Dutch military army in Bengkayang. The
fighters managed to control the city of Bengkayang and waving red and white
flags accompanied by Indonesia Raya.
Mastery of Bengkayang City by Ali Anyang
and other fighters did not last long, Dutch troops from Singkawang came
pounding troops Ali Anyang. On October 9, 1946, Dutch troops retook the
Bengkayang City.
Dutch troops then look for Ali Anyang who
is considered an actor of the raid. The Netherlands issued a contest with a
prize of 25,000 guilders for anyone who managed to find Ali Anyang. In the
pursuit Ali Anyang and other fighters continue to fight. This is evidenced by
the Dutch Military invasion incident in Sambas on January 10, 1949. Because
urged, Ali Anyang and his troops retreated into the forests. The Dutch troops
continued to pursue several clashes between the two sides, on January 18, 1949
in Sarawak's border village of Acan and on March 20, 1949, clashes occurred in
the village of the Camar Bulan.
The battles between Ali Anyang and his troops
against the Dutch finally stalled after on 27 December 1949 the Dutch
recognized the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia.
