JAKARTA - The personnel of the RI-Malaysia Pamtas Task Force Battalion 144/JY worked together to repair water pipelines with residents in Wak Sepan Hamlet, Jasa Village, Ketungau Hulu District, Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan.

This was conveyed by Dansatgas Pamtas RI-Malaysia Lt. Col. Inf. Andri Suratman in a written statement at the Badau Kotis Post, Friday, October 22.

Dasatgas explained, gotong royong is a reflection of the togetherness that grows in a community, as has been done by members of the Kami Pos Village Task Force for repairing clean water pipelines with residents at the border.

"Entering the rainy season at the end of October now, the pipes from mountain springs are broken and clogged, so it is difficult for residents to accommodate clean water in their homes. This activity is a form of concern and forms a harmonious relationship between the Task Force and the people at the border," he said.

Emil Salim as the local village head said that this clean water was channeled to residents' homes, otherwise the need for clean water would be difficult.

"We are very grateful for the assistance from the Task Force gentlemen who have helped repair this clean water pipe, the activities have become lighter," he continued.

Serda Oka Mahendra, who led three of his colleagues, said that the repairs to the pipe could be completed as soon as possible, because water is a basic daily need for villagers, including for the Task Force Post.

"By mutual cooperation with the residents, togetherness will be realized. We also need clean water from these springs, but we prioritize the needs of the residents," he concluded, as conveyed by Dispenad.
