PT Cargill Awards Scholarships to Politap Students

PT Poliplant Sejahtera-Cargill Group handed over scholarships to students of Politeknik Negeri Ketapang (Ketapang State Polytechnic), presented directly by the President Director of PT Poliplant Anthony Yeow to the Director of Politeknik Negeri Ketapang and accompanied by student representatives. The event, held at Aston Ketapang Hotel on 28 October 2019, was also attended by the Regional Secretary of Ketapang Regency, several agency heads, cooperative management, and company representatives.

Endang Kusmana, shortly after receiving the scholarships, stated that Politeknik Negeri Ketapang, as the only state higher education institution in Ketapang Regency, currently has 1,554 students, with around 60% of their parents earning a gross income of under Rp2,000,000 per month, making corporate support worthy of enhancement. Endang expressed hope that other companies, like PT Poliplant Sejahtera, would continue to show their commitment to education.

Endang stated that the Government, through Government Regulation Number 45 of 2019 concerning amendments to Government Regulation Number 94 of 2010 on the calculation of taxable income and settlement of income tax in the current year, followed by Minister of Finance Regulation Number 128/PMK.010/2019 concerning the granting of gross income deductions for the implementation of work practices, internships, and/or learning activities in the framework of fostering and developing competency-based human resources, provides an opportunity for companies to receive tax incentives, particularly for vocational education or polytechnics.
