        "content": "<p>Member of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the Gerindra\nParty faction, Alimuddin Kolatlena, demonstrated his concern for\nregional infrastructure by personally helping residents repair a damaged\nbridge on Osi Island, West Seram Regency, Maluku.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of the cadre from the party led by President Prabowo\nSubianto was greeted with enthusiasm by the local community. The bridge\nrepair was carried out through gotong royong, as the access route is a\nvital pathway connecting residents\u2019 daily activities, from population\nmobility to the distribution of fishermen\u2019s catch.<\/p>\n<p>In his statement, Alimuddin emphasised the importance of\ncollaboration between the government and the community in maintaining\nbasic infrastructure, particularly in island regions that face their own\ngeographical challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI visited together with the residents to repair the damaged bridge\non Osi Island, West Seram Regency, Maluku,\u201d said Alimuddin in a written\nstatement on Thursday (23\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The condition of the previously damaged bridge was deemed to hinder\nthe economic and social activities of the community. Therefore, the\ndirect involvement of the people\u2019s representative in the field served as\nmoral encouragement for residents to carry out self-funded repairs while\nawaiting further handling from the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis gotong royong action also reflects the strong spirit of\ntogetherness among Maluku\u2019s coastal communities in facing limitations,\u201d\nsaid Alimuddin.<\/p>\n<p>Residents hope that this temporary repair will soon be followed by\nthe construction of a more permanent and adequate bridge by the relevant\ngovernment.<\/p>\n<p>The step taken by Alimuddin is seen as a tangible form of the\npresence of the people\u2019s representative among the community, not only in\nlegislative functions but also in ensuring that the community\u2019s basic\nneeds are met.<\/p>",
