Sunday morning, August 31, 2025, the lush Nirwana mess field burst into a spectacle of vibrant costumes, bold face paint, and fiery enthusiasm. A space that is usually calm transformed into a sea of creativity. Traditional music blended with cheers as PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP), a business unit of Harita Nickel, kicked off its 4th annual carnival.
Each year, the carnival serves as the grand finale of the Independence Day celebrations. This time, carrying the theme “Eastern Indonesia Shines,” the stage became a powerful symbol of unity—reflecting the life of employees whose diversity is bound by a shared purpose.

A total of 18 contingents from various departments and contractor partners delivered their best performances. From the stomping rhythms of the Cakalele dance, the graceful flow of Soya-soya, to the adrenaline-pumping bambu gila attraction, employees stepped beyond their roles as workers to proudly embody artists showcasing their ancestral heritage.
Amid the festivity, Younsel Evand Roos, Harita Nickel’s Operations Director, expressed gratitude: “Alhamdulillah, we are still able to gather with such joy. This carnival, rooted in Indonesia’s cultural richness, clearly brings out a stronger sense of togetherness.”
For him, the event carried meaning beyond entertainment. “Each group is challenged to build a solid team, requiring patience, discipline, and commitment. These are the very values we need every day in the workplace,” Younsel emphasized.

The highlight of the day came with the announcement of winners. The Management Group—an alliance of ten departments ranging from Finance, IT, Geology & Mine Planning, to Business Development—was crowned first place.
Team leader Charles Deni Nelson Auparai reflected on the challenges they faced: “Our spirit was to unite differences. We came from many departments, but also from different regions, tribes, islands, and languages. The challenge was big, but here, we became one,” he said.
According to Charles, their success hinged on humility. “We were not only practicing dance—we were practicing Indonesia. We were living out Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity). Hopefully, this spirit of mutual respect will continue to guide us in our daily work.”
The Occupational Health, Safety, and Training (OHST) Department took second place and also secured the overall title, followed by the Human Resource & General Affair (HRGA) Department in third.
The announcement of winners officially closed TBP’s 80th Independence Day celebration series. Yet, while the event concluded, the spirit of unity it fostered will continue to live on—embedded in the company’s daily work culture.
