Anak Beru Menteri is the sub-institution of Anak Beru. For instance, as A.7 married A.3 he becamed the Anak Beru Menteri of B.1, because A.7 is the
Anak Beru of A.1. Anak Beru Menteri has its responsibility to help its Kalimbubu in order to overcome any problem in organizing the ceremony of the Puang

Anak Beru Menteri. As the speech finished on the ceremony, the master of the ceremony directly announced to the guest, ‘now, it is time to move the dead body
to the coach, so I call the Anak Beru Menteri to do it’ please. Thank you.
