PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) announced on Sunday that it has completely halted the legal case against Kakek Mujiran in Lampung, utilizing a restorative justice mechanism.

PTPN stated that the family-style resolution has been achieved, leading to Kakek Mujiran's release from legal entanglements over taking leftover rubber sap from PTPN's plantation. The company expressed its commitment to implementing Oskaria's strategic policies, which underscore the essence of BUMN as an entity 'of, by, and for the people.'

The company acknowledged the rapid spread of information and learned a valuable lesson about the need for greater sensitivity, responsiveness, and a paramount focus on humanitarian values from its field officers. PTPN I views Oskaria's directives not merely as administrative instructions but as a crucial opportunity to recalibrate its asset security operational standards, balancing asset protection with social responsibility and empathy for the surrounding community.
As a tangible manifestation of its commitment and in line with BUMN directives, PTPN is currently implementing a sustainable assistance program for Kakek Mujiran. This includes providing essential supplies and processing opportunities for adaptive employment for him or his family members, ensuring his well-being and reintegration.
