Jakarta – The figure of Oesman Sapta Odang seems to have been blessed with a fighter’s soul since birth. That’s why, even though he was being hit by difficulties at the ‘sky’ level, there was never a word of giving up for him to fight and overcome difficulties.
If he loses, he will quickly get back up again to fight again. Continue like that. He will only stop if he has made sure that the difficulties he is facing are subdued and he has a way out of the difficulties he is facing.
This description can also be interpreted as a fighting spirit that never loosens and shrinks even though you are losing. This is like the term staying power attached to the German national team in the 1980-1990s. Never giving up until the final whistle sounded, Oesman Sapta did the same. Lose, get up again and fight, lose again, get back up again. Until finally the target of victory can be grasped. Just pause. That is the authentic reflection of a fighter that Oesman Sapta Odang has always shown in his life.
Oesman Sapta Odang is the son of the married couple Odang and Asnah Hamid. He was born in Sukadana, West Kalimantan, August 18, 1950. Oesman – more familiarly known as OSO – has been very active since childhood in various sports activities. He has even been a numero uno in national and international car races several times.
Even so, his achievements and activities in outdoor activities seem to be inversely proportional to indoor activities. OSO only finished formal education up to high school level. It was also completed via the Package C pursuit path.
But again, because he was born as a fighter, OSO was able to make up for that shortcoming when he was an adult. Through the works it produces, OSO was awarded an honorary doctorate (HC) from the Senior University International, USA in 1999.
OSO’s adult gait starts from the business line. Developed and continued to develop, until finally it could have its own business empire under the OSO Group flag. This business empire is engaged in many business fields. Starting from printing, mining, mineral water, property, plantation, fishery, transportation, communication, and hospitality. Slowly but surely, his name has grown as a figure of a successful regional entrepreneur.
Success in the business world, apparently, is also not a guarantee that it can neutralize the soul of an OSO fighter to seek new challenges. He also glanced at the political stage.
OSO’s name as a politician began to appear and fly fast when he became deputy chairman of the 1999-2004 MPR from regional representatives.
The high enthusiasm as well as the strong passion for the world of politics has made OSO more confident. He then founded the Regional Unity Party (PPD). However, in several elections, this party was in fact unable to pass its representatives to the DPR RI. Perhaps because they were considered to be less lucky, OSO then changed the name PPD to the United National Party (PPN).
Up to this point, OSO still feels that its actions on the national stage are not good enough. The movement of the horses was widened again. OSO began to be actively seen in many community organizations, sports organizations, to professional organizations. Until then entering the 2014 elections, a firm pledge was made by OSO; “My soul is called again to fight for a seat in the Regional Representatives Council or DPD”. And OSO did win in the end. One chair for the people’s representative from the DPD route also belongs to him.
It doesn’t stop there. During the election for the chairman of the MPR RI, the leadership of the DPD RI put forward the name Oesman Sapta Odang as a candidate for the chairman of the MPR along with other candidates proposed by the leadership of the DPR RI. And the patent, Oesman Sapta Odang’s process to become Deputy Chairperson of the 2014-2019 MPR RI went smoothly and smoothly. Oesman Sapta was elected at the same time as the second time serving as Deputy Chair of the MPR.
This is his second position in the same position as MPR Deputy Speaker for the 1999-2004 period. His political career continues to roll. In 2017, he was unanimously appointed as the Chairman of the DPD so that the position of Deputy Chairperson of the MPR was released. OSO was also asked by acclamation to become General Chairperson of the DPP Hanura 2016-2020 and continue for the 2019-2024 period.
Then questioned the target that ‘The Fighter’ would pursue in the future, without saying much OSO only mentioned the 4 percent figure for Hanura from the parliamentary threshold for the 2024 election.
“The target is to win, you don’t need to use percentages. Because if you don’t win, what do you do? So, our target is to win and enter parliament (DPR RI),” said OSO’s statement after the Hanura Party underwent factual verification by the Indonesian KPU at the Hanura Party DPP Office, Jakarta, Saturday (13/10) last year. bembo
