This Prince isn't selected officially as the future Sultan o f Banjarmasin, but he is much on his way to become it. He is chief of the semi-religious historical institute; Yayasan Sulthan Adam (named after the last great Sultan of Banjarmasin (died 1857), who is also occupied with the general history of Banjarmasin.
This in 2005 41 years old chief of infrastructure section of Banjarmasin city is also in 2005 candidate to become the new Bupati of Banjarmasin district; with much relgious backing.The Yayasan also makes his own bi-monthly magazine ,which concentrates on the religious character of Banjarmasin and also to historical things. Probably all his ambitions will accumulate later in his installation as new Sultan of Banjarmasin.
