Heaptalk, Jakarta — The Pintu Air Savings and Loans Cooperative (KSP Kopdit), headquartered in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, opened a branch office in Sangatta, East Kutai. Vice Regent Kasmidi Bulang inaugurated the new branch office located on Hidayatullah Street, Teluk Lingga, North Sangatta (11/22).
Vice Regent Kasmidi appreciated the KSP Kopdit Pintu Air which brings a positive impact by helping the community’s economy. According to him, cooperative institutions have the role to drive the economy.
Kasmidi said, “In 2018 Pintu Air was established in East Kutai and this year it already owns large assets and is guaranteed to be safe. Those are the main points since not many cooperatives can do that.” He invited Pintu Air Cooperative to become partners with the local government to help the community, particularly in the people’s economy.
“Hopefully we can maintain harmony and unity among citizens, including the East Nusa Tenggara Family Association (IKB NTT) to work together with the government in keeping peace in this regency,” said Kasmidi.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Pintu Air Cooperative Committee for Sangatta branch Yulius Nong Plea delivered that the establishment of Sangatta’s office becomes the 57th branch out of 58 branches throughout Indonesia.
