Muslih
For more than five decades, Muslih has been delving into and teaching silat beksi (traditional martial art) typical of Betawi or Jakarta. The title of chief instructor accorded to him is assumed as a mandate he has to execute. He is determined to raise the dignity of his students while handling down the cultural heritage of Betawi.
At a glance, Muslih looks like most people. Of medium build, he has a wrinkled face. As he was waiting for Kompas in front of the padepokan or training compound on Friday (19/6/2020), he was not different from other residents of Pondok Aren, South Tangerang.
