The installation of PJUM by the Company was based on a survey on lighting needs, conducted by the Transportation Section of Bekasi Regency to the residents surrounding the CBL river area, including those in Muara Bakti Village and Buni Bakti Village.

With the spirit of "Light that Brings Goodness," the Company built these 99 lighting points for the benefit of the residents, providing comfort and safety for transportation at night along the route from Muara Bakti Village to Buni Bakti Village, which is part of the ourskirts of the CBL river.

Yana Suyatna, S.IP, M.Si, as the Head of the Transportation Section, Mr. H. Rudi Khoirudin, SE, MM, as the Babelan Subdistrict Head, Mr. H. Asmawi as the Head of Muara Bakti Village, and Mr. Sidi Sumardi as the Head of Buni Bakti Village were present.

The government and the local community highly appreciate the Company's participation in the development of the Babelan area. This Public Street Lighting initiative aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 11, which aims to create inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities and communities.
