Origin of the Name Simpang TobekGodang, Big Pond

Panam · 1 February 2026, 14:17

To settle the debate over how to say Simpang Tabek Gadang / Tobek Godang in Pekanbaru, the BroSisPKU team went straight to interview Pak Lurah (the village head) in February 2026.

Turns out the correct one is "TobekGodang", which comes from the Kampar language and means big pond.

So no more confusion, BroSis!
