"This assistance will be used to repair drainage channels around the mosque. During the rainy season, the area around the mosque often floods because water from the road enters the area around the mosque, so we will make drainage so that rainwater does not flood around the mosque," he said.
This is the same as what was conveyed by a group of fishermen in Bangka Regency, Eko Hendra Susanto (33), who was involved in the drowning activity of PT Timah Tbk's squid attractor in Rebo Waters.
"Thank you PT Timah for helping us, hopefully in the future, there will be more attractors or FADs that will be sunk around this sea. "Because with more and more attractors and FADs being sunk, we don't have to go far to find fish," he said. (*)
