BANGKA -- PT Timah Tbk again handed over assistance to fishermen in Bangka Regency who had a sea accident some time ago. This assistance is an effort by the company to help fishermen.
This time, this assistance was given to Efendi Pain, a Sungailiat fisherman who had a sea accident while fishing in Tuing Waters.
Efendi Pain said the boat he was on had a sea accident because the boat's generator engine exploded inside the ship. Luckily he was able to save himself.
"I was in a sea accident because the generator caught fire, when the fire happened I plunged into the sea and I am grateful that my friends helped," he said when receiving assistance from PT Timah Tbk, Wednesday (24/8/2022).
He said the assistance from PT Timah Tbk would be used to buy engines, repair boats and other fishing equipment.
"This assistance is for repairing the boat, thank you PT Timah Tbk and HNSI Bangka for caring so that I can receive this assistance," he said.
He hopes that later with the boat that has been repaired he can return to earning a living to help the family's economy.
