BANGKA -- PT TIMAH Tbk has officially handed over the assets of the Baiturahim Mosque building, located in the Air Kantung area of Sungailiat Subdistrict, Bangka Regency, to the Baiturahim Foundation.
The handover of these assets represents one of PT TIMAH Tbk’s commitments to supporting the sustainability of social and religious functions within the community.

He explained that the process of formalizing the asset status took a considerable amount of time and went through various stages of coordination, including with the village administration and other related parties.
“The process was lengthy. We worked together, held discussions with the village head and various stakeholders, until everything was successfully resolved legally. Praise be to God, PT TIMAH Tbk has now handed over the building assets to the Foundation, and the land ownership process has also been completed,” he explained.
Basuki added that Baiturahim Mosque has been actively used for various religious activities, ranging from congregational prayers and regular evening religious studies to religious holiday commemorations and community social activities.
“Praise be to God, this mosque is very active. The courtyard is spacious, and during religious holidays, the number of worshippers can be very large. We are grateful that the mosque can continue to be well maintained and utilized to the fullest,” he added.
Meanwhile, Bangka Regent Fery Insani, during the handover ceremony of the Statement of Physical Control of Land to Baiturahim Mosque, said that PT TIMAH Tbk has long been an integral part of the social and religious life of the Bangka community.

On this occasion, Fery also invited all congregants to jointly pray for PT TIMAH Tbk so that the company may continue to thrive and provide positive contributions to the community and regional development.
