In Advancing Original Products of Indonesia, Le Minerale Establishes Cooperation with Istiqlal Mosque

Kapanlagi.com - Le Minerale is an original product of Indonesia dedicated to providing goodness for Indonesia. Not only does it present bottled drinking water (AMDK) with essential mineral content, but Le Minerale also aims to create a sustainable business that has a positive impact, with the obligation to nurture the economy, society, and environment.

In fulfilling its obligations in social responsibility, Le Minerale is committed to being the trusted brand choice of the Indonesian people by collaborating with the Management Agency of Istiqlal Mosque.

The cooperation that brings the spirit of independence is realized in the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) conducted by the Management Agency of Istiqlal Mosque represented by the Grand Imam of Istiqlal Mosque Nasaruddin Umar and PT Tirta Fresindo Jaya (Mayora Group) represented by Riko Sistanto. The signing was also conducted by the Marketing Director of Le Minerale, Febri Satria Hutama, and the President Director of Istiqlal Global Fund, Mulyono Lodji.

Sales & Marketing Director of PT Tirta Fresindo Jaya, Riko Sistanto, explained that Le Minerale, as an original product of Indonesia, is committed to building positive values by upholding the noble values of religion, Pancasila, and nationalism. Le Minerale believes that this cooperation plays a significant role in spreading the noble values that are the identity of the nation.

"Based on this, we are committed to building these positive values, which are manifested in activities that make us proud to formalize the cooperation between Le Minerale and Istiqlal Mosque," Riko stated in his speech in Jakarta on Friday (9/8).

On this occasion, Nasaruddin Umar also expressed his appreciation to Le Minerale for its dedication to bringing goodness to the Indonesian community. Moreover, Nasaruddin Umar said, Le Minerale is an original product of Indonesia.

"We are also encouraged to love Indonesia by loving domestic products and appreciating Indonesian creations. If someone donates water, it means donating something essential for human life. It must not be rejected. I think this is a very good form of cooperation," he said.

Also present at this event was the Deputy Secretary General of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), Arif Fahrudin. He stated that it is appropriate for Istiqlal Mosque to collaborate with Le Minerale, which is an original product from Indonesia.

"In reality, this is a testament of love for the Indonesian nation. We express our highest appreciation and immeasurable gratitude; this becomes an inspiration and a call for all mosques in Indonesia and places of worship to collaborate like this," said Arif.

Arif also opined that Indonesia should not depend on foreign products, especially those that violate humanitarian values and undermine values of independence and freedom. As information, recently the Indonesian Ulema Council issued Fatwa MUI No 14/Ijtima' Ulama/VIII/2024 regarding 'Priority for Using Domestic Products' which urges the Indonesian people to choose original Indonesian products to support independence and progress in Indonesia.

"As Bung Karno said, Indonesia must be self-reliant in economic, political, and cultural aspects. Based on the mandate of the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia, that independence is the right of all nations, therefore all forms of colonization in this world must be abolished, and economic independence must align with the mandate of the Indonesian Constitution. National products clearly do not support colonization and do not support parties that legitimize colonization and aggression on this earth," said Arif.

In relation to this cooperation, Le Minerale and the Istiqlal Mosque Management Board are jointly promoting original Indonesian products through various programs and activities that benefit the community, namely:
Providing free umrah for five employees (marbot) of Istiqlal Mosque
Providing scholarships for 10 sons and daughters of marbot
Revitalization of the Istiqlal center as a public center, to provide a comfortable place for the advancement of Istiqlal Mosque, with blessed Fridays to be held every week during Ramadan in the form of a series of studies, culinary events, and others to enliven the holy month of Ramadan.

Febri also expressed gratitude for the trust given by the Istiqlal Mosque Management Board to Le Minerale regarding the cooperation established. According to him, this collaboration aligns with the values upheld by Le Minerale as an original Indonesian company.

"We want to advance the Indonesian community through social obligations. This is a new milestone, and we certainly believe that this collaboration is not just short-term, but can last for a considerable time," said Febri.

For your information, the signing of the memorandum of understanding, guided by Dude Herlino, was also attended by Dadang Kahmad as the Secretary of Istiqlal, Arif Fahrudin as the Deputy Secretary General of MUI, Ahsanul Haq as the Director of Business Development & Corporate Cooperation, and Badminton Athlete Mohammad Ahsan.

"I chose Le Minerale because I believe that Le Minerale is the original mineral water owned by Indonesia," said Ahsan.

Dude also added that he has been collaborating for a long time with Mayora as an Indonesian company whose shares are mostly owned by Indonesian citizens. According to Dude, there are many good things that Le Minerale has done that are appreciated by the Indonesian people. Therefore, both of them jointly appreciate this collaboration as a form of support for original Indonesian products.

Before the signing of the memorandum of understanding for cooperation, Le Minerale also conducted a joint exercise with the Istiqlal Mosque Management Agency. This was followed by a symbolic handover of Umrah for the marbot and a symbolic handover of scholarships for outstanding marbot children.
