After completing a visit to Pulau Panjang District, the Regent of Natuna and her delegation continued their official itinerary to Subi District on Saturday afternoon (29/11).
Joining the visit were the Deputy Regent of Natuna, members of the Natuna DPRD, several heads of regional government agencies, banking representatives, as well as the Chair and members of the Regional Development Acceleration Team (TPPD).
Regent Cen Sui Lan and her delegation were scheduled to inspect several public facility development sites in Subi District, including new road openings, plans for a connecting bridge, and the utilization of previously developed infrastructure such as the local reservoir that supports the community’s water needs.
After inspecting the various development projects, the Regent—together with relevant regional agencies—continued with the Affordable Food Movement (GPM) for residents of Subi and its surrounding areas.
This initiative aims to help stabilize food supply and prices, ensuring that essential goods remain accessible at affordable rates.
The visit also included free health check-ups with specialist doctors, as well as the distribution of Temporary Direct Cash Assistance (BLTS) through the local post office.
Concluding the day’s agenda, the Regent and her delegation held a meet-and-greet session with Subi District officials and the local community at the Subi District Hall.
In her remarks, Cen Sui Lan expressed her gratitude and joy for the opportunity to visit and meet the people of Subi District. She noted that such working visits are an important way to strengthen ties with the community—especially in a geographically dispersed region like Natuna, where districts are separated by islands with their own unique challenges.
Despite these limitations, the Regent stressed that equitable development will remain a central principle for the regional government, especially for districts located on the nation’s outermost islands, which play a vital role as the sovereignty boundaries of Indonesia.
During the visit, the Regent also presented several forms of assistance, including BLTS, rice aid, BPJS Employment membership cards, compensation for families of deceased fishermen, Digital Interactive Devices (PID) and Educational Play Tools (APE) for elementary and junior high schools, as well as portable fire extinguishers (APAR).
