President Sukarno of full attention to the Chinese people who have been residents of the archipelago for centuries but still hold the tradition of his ancestors certainly smart enough to want to lift Oei Tjoe Tat or OTT Bung Oei birth from Semarang Chinese families are able and self-acquired education is very high. He is a law graduate who never opened the bureau lawyer with famous Chinese figures other as warriors law.
Oei Tjoe Tat an official Baperki in this capacity he is worthy to be in accompanying Presidential Palace. In the discussion established the Agency for Indonesian citizenship parley Oei Tjoe Tat name that is parallel to the other figures Siauw Giok Tjhan who later became leaders appear Baperki.
