WEST BANGKA -- Husband and wife Herman (43) and Norma (39) were unable to contain their feelings of emotion and happiness when they received Decent Living House (RTLH) when they received house keys from Dandim 0431 West Bangka Lieutenant Colonel Inf Deri Indrawan and Head of the Metallurgical Unit Wiyono , Tuesday (30/8/2022).
Herman, a resident of Pangkalan Ahoi Village, Dusun 1 Belo Laut, Muntok District, West Bangka Regency, did not expect his house to be rebuilt by PT Timah Tbk in synergy with Kodim 0431 West Bangka.
Previously, Herman's house almost collapsed due to damage such as the wood that was already brittle, the roof made of thatched trees had also been damaged. He who works as a fisherman with uncertain income can not do much to repair his house.
"Can't say anything else, everything is mixed, emotional and happy. It was unthinkable to build a house like this. Thank you to PT Timah and KODIM 0431 for giving our family a home," he said.
Similarly, Herman's wife, Nurma, also prayed and was grateful for the assistance provided by PT Timah Tbk who had repaired their house.
"Hopefully PT Timah will be more advanced, successful, so that people feel the existence of PT Timah," she said.
Dandim 0431/Babar Letkol Inf Deri Indrawan said the RTLH Development program was implemented because of the synergy between Kodim 0431/West Bangka and PT Timah.
"Thank you to PT Timah who has been working together to build and lighten the burden on the community. Hopefully this activity will continue. In addition to the RTLH development program today, we provide basic necessities to people in need. Hopefully this activity will continue," said Dandim.
Meanwhile, the village head of Belo Laut Ibnu said that PT Timah's commitment to assisting the development in Belo Laut was beneficial for its residents.
"Hopefully with this assistance we can take advantage of it, especially our resident Mr. Herman who has received assistance in making houses from uninhabitable to livable," he said.
So far, he believes that PT Timah Tbk has been committed to helping and caring for people in need.
"We assess that PT Timah's commitment to showing concern for residents, development and the environment in the Belo Laut area has been well realized," he said.
