JAKARTA - Member of Commission VI DPR RI Amin AK conveyed that Pertamina's big profit achievement could also be large for the state and society because of the dividend of Rp. 13.51 trillion which was deposited to the state.

When earning profits, there is a share of profit that must be deposited with the state in the form of dividends which are non-tax state revenues (PNBP). So the greater profit, the greater contribution that is made to state revenues. So, not only Pertamina can make a profit, but the state and society also benefit," Amin said as quoted by Antara, Monday, May 8.

According to him, dividends from state-owned companies can be used for various national development activities and people's programs, such as social assistance.

Amin invites all parties to appreciate the real benefits of Pertamina, which are still little known by the community.

"We all have to admit this achievement. This achievement deserves appreciation," said Amin.

Even so, he considered, success cannot be separated from the participation of the community, because by buying Pertamina's product fuel, the community as consumers contributed to the achievement of the BUMN profit.

"It's on the one hand and on the other hand, the community will also benefit from the profit. So, it supports each other and has a positive impact on all," he said.

In line with this, Amin hopes that in the future the community can continue to provide support to Pertamina through the consumption of BUMN fuel products, so that Pertamina's profits will increase.

If it is increasingly profitable, of course the contribution made to the state and also benefits for the community will be even greater. The opposite is the case, right? And Commission VI of the DPR will continue to monitor Pertamina," he said.
