True Story, Kak Seto Reveals the Origin of Why Si Komo Caused Traffic Jams

The idea was then realized in the form of an operetta that entertained children in various cities in Indonesia. One unforgettable experience occurred during a performance in Samarinda, East Kalimantan. The performance was scheduled for Sunday at 10 AM. 

"Well, then at that time we made an operetta. Then we were invited to various cities. One time while performing in Samarinda, East Kalimantan. Then the committee said, at that time it was Sunday at 10 am for the event," he said.

The event committee had a brilliant idea to attract the audience's attention by inviting Si Komo to take a walk at 8 am, similar to the concept of car free day.

"The committee said, let's invite Komo to take a walk at 8 am, like a car free day. To attract the attention of the audience who would come at 10," he said.

The plan successfully attracted the attention of many people. Si Komo walking along the street intrigued residents who wanted to take photos and see up close, causing the road to become congested. The police were also confused managing the traffic that was stalled due to the crowd.

"Well, Komo was walking down the street, because Komo passed by, wanting the yard, wanting a photo. In the end, the road became congested, and the police were completely confused. People were also confused about how to secure this," he said.

This situation inspired the creation of the song 'Si Komo Lewat Tol'. This song truly reflects the events at that time, where the road was congested because Si Komo passed by. The song became very popular and became part of many people's childhood memories in Indonesia.

"Komo already has a few songs. Then suddenly, I had the idea to make a song. It really was true that the road was congested because Si Komo passed by," he concluded.
