Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 For some people, mudik is an annual routine\njourney, but for others, this trip holds simple hopes of arriving\nsafely, without worry, and reuniting with family.<\/p>\n
In 2026, the Mudik Gratis Bersama BUMN programme, initiated by the\nState-Owned Enterprises Regulatory Agency (BP BUMN) together with\nDanantara, returns to facilitate the public. Nationally, the programme\nserves 116,688 mudik participants heading to various regions across\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n
As part of the programme, PT Permodalan Nasional Madani (PNM)\nparticipates by sending off 564 mudik participants for the community and\nparticularly PNM customers.<\/p>\n
Among the hundreds of participants, there is the story of Ibu Eka\nWarni, a PNM Mekaar customer from Tangerang. For Ibu Eka, the mudik\njourney is not just about going home, but also about keeping herself\nstrong throughout the trip. She lives with the autoimmune condition\nRheumatoid Arthritis (RA), which makes long journeys, especially by\nprivate vehicle like a motorbike, difficult and full of\nconsiderations.<\/p>\n
The desire to mudik has long been cherished by her. The last time she\nreturned to her hometown was two years ago. Day to day, Ibu Eka runs a\nhome-based business. From this simple business, she not only helps the\nfamily economy but also involves her neighbours around her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am so grateful to be able to join the free mudik with PNM.\nAlhamdulillah, we could mudik safely and comfortably. I am also grateful\nto be able to run a business and increase my income thanks to PNM\u2019s\nguidance, and then get free mudik. This year\u2019s Ramadan has been truly\nblessed for me,\u201d said Ibu Eka.<\/p>\n
For PNM, the mudik journey is not just about mobility, but also about\nbringing comfort to customers who have struggled throughout the\nyear.<\/p>\n
PNM\u2019s Company Secretary Dodot Patria Ary stated that this programme\nis part of PNM\u2019s commitment to providing broader services to the\ncommunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Mudik Gratis Bersama PNM programme is our service to the\ncommunity, especially our customers, so they can undertake the mudik\njourney more safely, comfortably, and safely to meet their families in\ntheir hometowns. Behind every journey, there is a story of struggle that\nwants to reunite with family. Therefore, we want to ensure this journey\ncan be undertaken more peacefully, with mutual care, until they arrive\nsafely at their destination,\u201d Dodot explained.<\/p>\n
Through this programme, PNM not only provides the journey but also\nensures every step home feels lighter. Behind every bus seat, there is a\nstory of longing to be fulfilled, families waiting, and hopes brought\ncloser.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/story-of-mother-eka-strengthening-fellow-participants-to-enjoy-a-comfortable-journey-home-with-pnm-1774018274", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
