Sembiring, said the\ncontinuity of energy distribution is part of the company\u2019s contribution\nto public needs and the economy. \u201cFor us, the spirit of independence is\nnot only about commemorating history, but also about ensuring energy\ncontinues to flow to support public activities and the economy. Pertagas\nworkers in Sumatra, Java, and Kalimantan continue to carry out their\nduties maintaining gas infrastructure reliability as part of their\ncontribution to the nation,\u201d said Indra in Jakarta (26\/8).<\/p>\n<p>According to Indra, infrastructure reliability is an important factor\nin maintaining national energy security. Well-maintained infrastructure\nenables gas transportation and distribution to take place continuously\nto meet the needs of various sectors.<\/p>\n<p>This is in line with the spirit of \u201cEnergi Merah Putih Indonesia\nMakmur\u201d which is part of Pertamina Group\u2019s efforts to strengthen\nnational energy independence and security. \u201cEnergy is an important\nstrength for Indonesia\u2019s progress. Therefore, maintaining infrastructure\nreliability and ensuring energy distribution runs well is a tangible\nform of nationalism carried out by Pertagas workers every day,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>This commitment was also demonstrated through board of directors\nvisits to several operational areas to monitor the readiness and\nreliability of gas distribution infrastructure. These activities were\ncarried out in conjunction with the 81st Independence Day commemoration\nheld simultaneously in six Pertagas operational areas: Balikpapan,\nCikarang, Surabaya, Pangkalan Brandan, Rokan, and Palembang.<\/p>\n<p>Ceremonies in each region were attended by Pertagas workers and led\nby board members as ceremony inspectors. Pertagas officers carried out\nthe raising of the Red and White flag, while workers wore traditional\nregional attire as a representation of Indonesia\u2019s cultural\ndiversity.<\/p>\n<p>Corporate Secretary of PT Pertamina Gas, Sulthani Adil Mangatur, said\nthe independence moment is an opportunity for all workers to strengthen\ntheir commitment to contribute through their daily work. \u201cThe 81st\nIndependence Day commemoration is a momentum for all Pertagas personnel\nto reaffirm their commitment to providing the best contribution for\nIndonesia. We realise this spirit through concrete work, maintaining\noperational reliability, and ensuring energy infrastructure can continue\nto support the public and economic growth,\u201d said Sulthani.<\/p>\n<p>As part of Pertamina\u2019s Gas Subholding, Pertagas plays a role in\nsupporting national energy needs through gas transportation and\ndistribution activities. This role makes infrastructure reliability an\nimportant aspect that must be maintained sustainably.<\/p>\n<p>Sulthani added that this spirit aligns with the theme of the 81st\nIndependence Day, \u201cIndonesia Berdaulat Adil dan Makmur\u201d. According to\nhim, the theme serves as a reminder for workers to continue taking part\nin building an independent, competitive, and prosperous Indonesia. \u201cThe\nspirit of independence must continue to live in every job and\ncontribution we make. Pertagas will continue to carry out its role in\nsupporting energy security while providing added value for the nation,\u201d\nconcluded Sulthani.<\/p>",
