PT Trimegah Bangun Persada Tbk (TBP) once again hosted its annual carnival in celebration of Indonesia's 79th Independence Day. Themed “A New Nusantara, A Progressive Indonesia”, the third installment of this highly anticipated event delivered an even more vibrant and colorful spectacle than previous years.
The event took place on Sunday morning, September 1, 2024, at the football field within the TBP office and residential area in Nirwana. A total of 17 teams, representing various departments and contractors, showcased their creativity through artistic performances, complemented by costumes and ornaments that highlighted the unique cultural identity of Indonesia's diverse regions.
The carnival parade commenced at the football field, where each team performed in front of the panel of judges. The Preparations & Lab Department opened the event with a stunning display inspired by traditional wayang (shadow puppetry). The Plant Department concluded the performances with a captivating narrative on the spirit of post-independence struggles and nation-building.
Following a thorough evaluation, the judges awarded the Production Department first place for their compelling presentation of traditional dances from multiple regions, complete with authentic costumes. The HRGA Department secured second place with their intricate Ogoh-ogoh statue, an iconic element of Balinese culture, while the Management Team earned third place with a tribute to Javanese artistry.
Ayrthon Christovallen Blasius Mongan, a member of the Production Department's winning team, shared his excitement about the victory. “We showcased dances from various regions with costumes that truly embodied their cultural significance. Preparations included daily practice sessions after work and collaborative efforts to acquire the costumes, some of which were specially ordered or brought by colleagues returning from leave,” he explained.
Younsel Evand Roos, Operational Director of PT TBP, who also participated in the Management Team's presentation, emphasized the importance of such events in fostering camaraderie and cultural preservation. “This annual carnival is not just a creative outlet; it also strengthens team spirit and highlights the rich cultural tapestry of Indonesia,” he remarked.
The TBP Carnival 2024 served as the grand finale to the series of events commemorating Indonesia’s Independence Day, organized by PT TBP and PT Gane Permai Sentosa (GPS), a subsidiary of Harita Nickel. Leading up to the carnival, employees participated in a variety of competitions, including sports such as badminton, futsal, and sepak takraw, as well as artistic events like dance battles and the highly anticipated TBP Idol singing competition.
This year’s carnival successfully combined the celebration of Indonesian cultural heritage with a platform for employee creativity and engagement, reaffirming the company's commitment to fostering unity and cultural appreciation within its workforce.
