Poliban Director Joni Riadi here on Sunday (April 11, 2021) said that the grant was distributed by UAE through the humanitarian organization Emirates Red Crescent to Banjar District, Barito Kuala District, and Banjarmasin City which were the longest inundated by the flood last January.
The handover on Wednesday (April 8) at the Wasaka Museum pier Banjarmasin was attended by representatives from UEA Embassy, H Akhmad Asyari Lc MA and Abdullah Raden Aji Haqqi SH, MH.
Joni Riadi was very grateful for the trust given by UAE to his campus to carry out and supervise the implementation of the assistance.
Representative of UAE Ambassador Akhmad Asy'ari in a release delivered by Poliban noted that the grant of 99 motorized boats was expected to benefit the people of South Kalimantan, especially those affected by flooding.
