After three days of vigorous debate they announced the establishment of a new organization called Persatoean Arab Indonesia.
[2] Originally the association was intended to encourage Arab Indonesians, mostly Muwallads, to integrate, assimilate and pledge allegiance to Indonesia which was still under ruling of Netherlands as Dutch East Indies.
[4] The Arab-Indonesian youth also pledged three oaths ("Sumpah Pemuda Keturunan Arab"): PAI received supports from many nationalists through their newspapers such as chinese-Malay's newspaper Matahari or Sin Tit Po as one of the main supporters.
Among the opponents were Ali bin Yahya of al-Rabithah al-Alawiyyah who frequently published his oppositions on Arabic magazine Al-Salam, and MBA Alamoudi, an Ambon-born[5] Arab Indonesian, who strongly attacked the organization on the weekly periodical Al-Yaum in Indonesian published by Arabische Verbond.
[3] The counter parties use all means and threats to prevent the development and influences of PAI, including firing the person out of his job or even expulsion by the father.
