The 2012 BUMN Cares Bazaar, which was held at the office yard of Dahana’s PKBL, provided inexpensive grocery packages of 1 kg sugar, 10 kg rice and 1 L cooking oil. Each package is worth Rp 100,000.00 and may be exchanged with a Rp 30,000.00 worth of coupon. PT Dahana’s PKBL only presented 3,794 grocery packages.
Susilo Hertanto, the Finance and HRD Director of PT Dahana, in his speech uttered that the SOE Ministry had appointed PT Dahana to execute the 2012 BUMN Cares Inexpensive Bazaar Program. “The program is actually nothing compared to what the people need at the moment. Nevertheless, at least the program is a form of the company’s concern in sharing with the surrounding community.” he said.
The event gained appreciation from the local government. The Cibogo Subdistrict Head, Sri Novia expressed her happiness and gratitude towards PT Dahana for organizing the inexpensive bazaar event.
“Just a few moments ago we received free medical treatment and nutritional improvements for children from Dahana. Now we are given the ease of acquiring groceries with inexpensive price. We hope that these social activities will still be held continuously in the future. Let’s support Dahana and pray that it will continue to grow and be more successful.” Sri Novia said in her speech.
