PT Korintiga Hutani Grants Consortium
Road to Kobar Regency Government
PANGKALAN BUN – PT Korintiga Hutani’s
commitment to Work for the Nation is
not merely a jargon, but has always been
proven with work and realization. This is
shown with the granting of a consortium
road from PT Korintiga Hutani’s Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) to West
Kotawaringin Regency Government on
October 22, 2020.

The granting ceremony was held in Nanga
Mua Village, North Arut (Aruta) Sub-
district. The grant was handed over in
person by Director Mr. Park Jong Myung to
the Regent of Kobar Hj. Nurhidayah.
Mr. Park Jong Myung stated that a true
contribution that can be really felt by all
parties is how to improve infrastructure
especially road and bridge access.

“The construction of road infrastructure
is PT Korintiga Hutani’s CSR program in
addition to its other CSR programs,” said
Mr. Park Jong Myung.

The construction of bypass road in Nanga
Mua Village-Pangkut Village was being
developed through a consortium scheme
with a length of 17 km and a width of 16
meters. In this case, PT Korintiga Hutani is
the party that provides assistance as the
work executor.

“This will facilitate and smoothen
transportation between villages, also
between villages and districts and
regencies. Therefore, people can do their
activities properly, economic wheels
can develop fast, and developments
in other sectors can also run well,” he
explained, while also mentioning that this
social concern from PT Korintiga Hutani
toward the community of North Arut, in
particular Nanga Mua Village, continues to
become a focus for PT Korintiga Hutani’s
management.

Meanwhile, the Regent of Kobar Hj.
Nurhidayah said that this part of road
that’s already been built is a form of
support from PT Korintiga Hutani, and the
construction of this road infrastructure
is expected to bring a change toward a
better future for the community of Kobar,
especially in North Arut Sub-district area.
