Pitoeng is the original Batavian champion whose popularity draws from lenong folk performances. People believe that the Rawabelong champion has the ability to “disappear” because he always manages to escape the pursuit of Dutch police. He is perceived as the local version of Robin Hood: who only robs the rich to give to the poor.
