It is expected that CSR activities in the form of bridge construction can help the activities of citizens, and the residents are expected to keep this bridge as possible. "Thanks TPS, with this bridge makes it easier for us to do activities, no longer fear the swift river when going to cross," said Nahlan, one of the Pordapor villagers.
