His quick response successfully prevented the attempted theft of assets considered strategically important for PHKT’s operational continuity.
This incident serves as clear evidence that the presence and vigilance of security officers play a crucial role in maintaining the sustainability of business and operational activities. In his remarks, Syamsul Arifin emphasized that the award not only recognizes individual achievement but also acknowledges the importance of security personnel as the front line in protecting national assets.
Ramona Ginting added that actions like those taken by Aris should serve as an example for all security personnel, not only within PHKT but across other strategic work sites as well. “Integrity, loyalty, and courage such as this are qualities we hope to see continue to grow in every operational line,” she said.
