Sambu Group, a Domestic Investment Company (PMDN), through its business unit PT Pulau Sambu in Kuala Enok, symbolically handed over an embankment on October 14, 2025, as an effort to protect community gardens located in Parit 6.a Sungai Pinang, Tanah Merah Village, Tanah Merah Sub-district, Indragiri Hilir Regency.
This activity is part of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, which focuses on environmental preservation and improving the welfare of the community and coconut farmers in the vicinity of its operational area. The embankment was constructed to protect residents' garden areas from the threat of high tide flooding that often inundates agricultural land and causes losses for coconut farmers.
The Head of Tanah Merah Village, H. Ambo Tang, S.IP, expressed gratitude and appreciation to Sambu Group for its concern for the community. "On behalf of the village government officials and all residents, we thank PT Pulau Sambu in Kuala Enok. This embankment assistance is very helpful to our community, especially the coconut farmers who have often been affected by tidal floods. With this embankment, residents' gardens are safer, and the community can carry out activities peacefully," said Ambo Tang.
Meanwhile, Uddin S., as the Public Relations of PT Pulau Sambu in Kuala Enok, explained that this activity is part of the company's commitment to be present among the community, not only as a business actor but also as a partner in regional development, helping the community face the threat of tidal floods that often strike coastal areas.
"We at Sambu Group believe that the company's presence must provide benefits for the surrounding environment and community. This embankment is a tangible manifestation of our concern so that the people in Tanah Merah Village can be protected from tidal floods and remain productive in managing their gardens," he explained.
Furthermore, Uddin added that CSR activities like this will continue to be carried out sustainably in various fields, including social, education, health, and environment. According to him, a good relationship between the company and the community is the key to achieving shared sustainability.
"We want to continue to contribute positively to the community. Sambu Group grows with this region, so it is a moral obligation for us to participate in safeguarding and assisting the surrounding environment," he added.
The construction and handover of the embankment in Parit 6.a Sungai Pinang are expected to provide long-term benefits for the people of Tanah Merah Village. Besides protecting gardens from tidal floods, the embankment also symbolizes togetherness and mutual cooperation between the company and residents in environmental preservation.
Through this small but meaningful step, Sambu Group once again affirms its commitment to continue to be present and contribute tangibly to the community and the environment, in line with the company's values that place sustainability as an important part of every operational activity
