Humbled, Honored, and Ready to Serve.
What an incredibly meaningful day. On June 8th, I had the profound honor of visiting Sanggar Bimbingan Permai Penang and seeing firsthand the life-changing work they do.
I am immensely grateful and humbled to announce that I have been awarded the title of Honorable Member of the NGO Permai Penang and appointed as the Ambassador for Education Development for Sanggar Bimbingan.

This appointment is a true privilege, and my deepest appreciation goes to Mr. Eddy Virgo, the president of the NGO and a true pillar of the Indonesia community in Malaysia. Before visiting, I had no idea just how immense and impactful this project was. Mr. Virgo is a humble leader who works tirelessly for the betterment of society without seeking recognition.
His guidance is rooted in powerful principles that have become a guiding light for the Indonesian community to live harmoniously with locals in Malaysia. He champions a doctrine built on four pillars: Tolerance, Interaction, Adaptation, and Contribution. This philosophy, combined with his famous wisdom phrase, “平行则不撞。天下太平也！” (Parallel lines do not collide. The world will be safe and peaceful), creates a clear path for community, security, and progress.
Seeing this vision in action — providing crucial education for undocumented students — has filled me with the utmost admiration and respect. Now, as a part of this incredible NGO, I am committed to following in his footsteps and dedicating my best efforts to this cause.
