Gather New Employees Of SOEs At Marine Headquarters, Erick Thohir: There Is No Corrupt Space, Time To Contribute To The State

JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir welcomed the joint recruitment participants who had officially become a big family of SOEs. He also reminded the new family of this BUMN, that he did not give room for corrupt actions.

This was conveyed by Erick during the inauguration of the state defense recruitment event with SOEs at the Cilandak Marine Headquarters, Jakarta, Tuesday, August 2.

Erick appreciated the struggle of the participants in passing a number of exams to be able to join BUMN. However, Erick also reminded the new family of this BUMN not to be complacent. After graduating and being appointed as a member of a BUMN, now it is a proof that he is ready to contribute to BUMN and the state.

Furthermore, Erick said that working in BUMN will assume two roles at once, namely as a revenue generator, and also as an agent of development. These two things must run in parallel and in balance.

As a revenue generator as well as driving a third of the country's economy, said Erick, SOEs need workers who have a growth mindset, are willing to learn, are agile, technology literate, and are hard workers.

But more than that, as an agent of development, continued Erick, BUMN needs the nation's children who are not only intelligent, but also have character. Because intelligence without morals will be deception Wealth without morals, will be greed and power without morals, will be injustice.

“Under the BUMN transformation agenda, I do not give room for corrupt and manipulative actions. Because the mandate that you carry is not only for personal progress, but also as an agent of national development," said Erick.

For this reason, Erick assessed that this stage of defending the country is very necessary in providing briefing and an overview of the meaning of working as a member of a state-owned enterprise in which the interests of the nation are above all else. Currently, the transformation of SOEs is on the right track. However, it will not be optimal without the presence of qualified and moral human resources.

“The task of friends here is to answer these needs. But there's also no need to worry too much. God willing, I, as the Minister of SOEs will be with you in advancing the SOEs that we love so that they become the pride of the nation," he said.

However, Erick admitted that he will continue to ensure that the spirit of the new SOEs has one goal with the ideals of SOE transformation.

“I need to make sure I'm not the only one who is ready to put on my body for all of my friends. But all of my friends are also ready to give their best performance in serving the nation and state. Now I ask, answer yes or no, are we one goal? If we have one goal, then I am optimistic to join hands with all of my friends," said Erick.

After one week of galvanizing and becoming the Candradimuka Crater for prospective BUMN Personnel who are ready to serve. Erick hopes that the education that has been obtained while participating in the State Defense program today can help SOEs in realizing an Indonesia that is Advanced, Prosperous, and Global.

"We also thank the Indonesian Navy marines who have accompanied, these are friends who will continue to be part of the SOE family," said Erick.
