In addition to the physical targets, there are additional targets, such as residents' houses renovation, mushalla (prayer place) renovation, and neighborhood security post (pos kamling). Then some non-physical targets, including education on national insight and the danger of drugs, family planning service, social service, health service, and distribution of basic food.
"On behalf of the leadership, I thank you for the hard work of the TMMD Task Force as well as those who have helped, including the community. Insya Allah our sincere work in helping people is worth worship and get a reward from Allah Subhanahu WaTa'ala," he said.
Tanjung Village, which is the location of TMMD, is a remote area with varied geographical conditions of a mountainous area. The population is 4,092 people, mostly farmers.
The presence of TNI to build infrastructure facilities very helpful for people's mobility and ultimately improves the economy of the residents.
Meanwhile, for Suato Lama Village, whose residents are mostly rubber farmers, the construction of road access through the TMMD program has helped cut the inter-village distance which has been quite far because there is no access to the local roadway.
