“We want to show that solving the waste problem in Batam is not only the duty of one party but our shared responsibility,” said Bapak Amsakar, emphasizing the importance of collective awareness from all elements of society. He also stressed the importance of continuous education for the community to ensure waste is disposed of properly, for a cleaner and more sustainable Batam environment.
