Jalan Tuanku Tambusai
Jl. Tuanku Tambusai, Pekanbaru
In Pekanbaru there's a street called Jalan Tuanku Tambusai.
The name comes from a cleric, leader, and fighter of the Padri War who came from the Rokan Hulu area of Riau.
His real name was Haji Muhammad Saleh bin Imam Maulana Kadhi, but he's better known as Tuanku Tambusai.
He's known for his struggle against Dutch colonization and for defending the sovereignty of the people in Riau, West Sumatra, and surrounding areas.
BroSis, what other historical figure has a name used in Pekanbaru but whose story we rarely know?
