Raja Nong Isa or Isa bin Ali Raja was the first ruler of Batam after he received a formal order from the Sultan of Riau on 18 December 1829 to take control over Nongsa and its surroundings, which is currently known as the area of Batam. This moment is then marked as the beginning of an official government of Batam. Therefore, 18 December was finally acknowledged as the birthday of the city of Batam.
