BANGKA BARAT -- In the spirit of sharing during the celebration of Eid al-Adha 1446 Hijri, employees of PT Timah Tbk living in the Processing and Refinery Division Housing Complex in Mentok, West Bangka, organized a sacrificial animal slaughter and distributed the meat to the surrounding community.
A total of four cows and one goat were slaughtered on Saturday (07/06/2025) at the slaughterhouse located in the Processing and Refinery Division Complex, next to Al Huda Mosque.
The Head of the Al Huda Mosque Qurban Committee, Haryanto, said that the slaughter was carried out as an expression of gratitude and concern for others.
"Three of the cows were donated by mosque congregants, who are PT Timah employees and nearby residents, one cow was contributed through PT Timah’s CSR program, and one goat. The qurban meat is distributed to those eligible to receive it," explained Haryanto.
He added that the recipients included Quran Learning Center and madrasa teachers, sanitation workers, drivers, members of the Chinese Islamic Association, and residents living near the complex.
One recipient, Alan (46), a member of the Chinese Islamic Association, expressed his gratitude. He mentioned that he regularly receives qurban meat every year from PT Timah employees.
"Every year, Timah employees invite me to collect qurban meat. Thank you, may the employees of PT Timah continue to be blessed and the company grow even more successful," said Alan.
Similarly, Rosinawati (60), a resident of Belo Laut Village, shared that this was her first time receiving qurban meat from PT Timah employees. She felt grateful and emotional.
"Thank you for giving meat to this grandma. May those who made the sacrifice be blessed with health and prosperity. This is the first time I’ve received qurban meat from Timah employees," she said.
Through this activity, PT Timah Tbk and its employees not only fulfill the religious practice of qurban but also strengthen social ties with the surrounding community, in line with the company’s commitment to sharing and providing benefits to its environment.
