Andre Rosiade Inspects Construction of Permanent Housing for Flash Flood Victims in Pauh, Padang
The construction of these huntap units is an initiative of the West Sumatra Chamber of Commerce (Kadin Sumbar) together with the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce (Kadin Indonesia) as part of tangible efforts for post-meteorological disaster recovery in West Sumatra. A total of 10 huntap units are being built using a quick, safe, and quality construction concept with Semen Padang Bata Interlock technology, an innovation from PT Semen Padang.
During this visit, Andre Rosiade was accompanied by the Chairman of Kadin Sumbar, Buchari Bachter, and Commissioner of PT Semen Padang, Ilham Adelino Azre. They were welcomed by community figure Dasrul from Pauh, along with local residents.
“We greatly appreciate the assistance from Kadin Indonesia. This proves that Kadin Indonesia is truly present and providing real benefits to the people of West Sumatra,” said Andre in his statement on Friday (10/4/2026).
The Deputy Chairman of the Gerindra Faction in the Indonesian House of Representatives emphasised that the role of the business world in helping disaster-affected communities is very important and should serve as an example of national collaborative efforts.
“Kadin is not just an organisation, but also provides concrete solutions by building permanent housing for affected residents. We thank Mr Anindya Bakrie and all levels of Kadin Indonesia for their direct contributions to the recovery process of the community here,” Andre stated.
Meanwhile, Chairman of Kadin Sumbar Buchari Bachter expressed appreciation for the presence of Andre Rosiade, who continues to provide support for post-disaster recovery efforts in West Sumatra.
“Thank you for the arrival of Mr Andre Rosiade. We request continued support for the recovery of West Sumatra. Kadin is building huntap as a form of support for victims of meteorological disasters in West Sumatra,” said Buchari.
Community figure from Pauh, Dasrul, also expressed great hopes that the huntap construction will continue and reach more disaster victims.
“Thank you, Mr Andre, for your arrival and support. Insyaallah, these 10 huntap units will be completed soon. We are also ready to assist with additional huntap construction allocated by Danantara for the City of Padang because there is still available land that can be used for around 30 units,” said Dasrul.
In response, Andre Rosiade stated his readiness to facilitate the acceleration of realising additional huntap construction from the Danantara programme, which has previously allocated around 100 units for flash flood victims in Padang.
“Danantara still allocates 100 huntap for Padang. The challenge so far has been the availability of land. If the land in Pauh is feasible and safe to use, we will certainly push for the construction to be realised as soon as possible,” he added.
