Jakarta, July 5, 2025 — Employees of PT XLSMART Telecom Sejahtera Tbk (XLSMART), through Majelis Ta'lim XLSMART (MTXLSMART), held the annual "Gebyar Muharram 1447 H" program, carrying the theme #GebyarBerbagi and #BersamaDiMuharram. This annual program is carried out in several cities around Indonesia. This year, XLSMART employees distributed aid in more than ten locations across the country. The donations comprised basic necessities, school supplies, cash, and mass circumcision services that were offered to over 100 children at XLSMART Tower in South Jakarta, XLSMART Sabang office in Central Jakarta, and Cirebon Regency. School supplies were also distributed in Karo, Palembang, Pekanbaru, Bandung, Banten, Pontianak, Banjarmasin, Surabaya, Makassar, and Jakarta. In addition, the program featured various social initiatives such as Orphan Movie Day, MuharRUN, Charity Rally, Archery, Shopping with Orphans, Clean Water Access Projects, and Bridge Access Programs.
Mochamad Hira Kurnia, Chief Human Capital Officer of XLSMART, stated “The month of Muharram is more than just the beginning of the Islamic calendar year, it is a time to strengthen our faith and renew our commitment to the values of kindness and justice. Let us celebrate this month with thankfulness, raise our social awareness, and deepen our bonds of unity. We are deeply grateful to once again hold Gebyar Muharram with a stronger spirit of sharing and compassion. Through activities such as mass circumcision, movie screenings for orphans, and donation distributions, we hope to ease the burdens of families and spread joy throughout this blessed month of Muharram 1447 H.”
Hira added that the program aims to foster a sense of unity and care within the community, and provide support to those in need, "We invite people from all walks of life to take part in this program, either as volunteers or donors. Every input, no matter how small, makes a meaningful impact."
On Saturday, July 5, mass circumcisions took place simultaneously in three locations: the XLSMART Tower (South Jakarta), the XLSMART Sabang Office (Central Jakarta), and the Multifunction Hall in Gegesik Village, Gegesik Subdistrict, Cirebon Regency. The procedures were supported by professional medical staff and hygienic facilities provided by Inisiatif Zakat Indonesia (IZI) Jakarta and DT Peduli Cirebon, ensuring a smooth and safe experience for all participants.
Additionally, a movie screening for orphans will be held on July 12, 2025, in Jakarta to provide an enjoyable and memorable experience. This initiative not only focuses on health and social support but also aims to strengthen bonds of solidarity and compassion among the community.
Meanwhile, Yanuar Tirta Kumaya, Chairman of MTXLSMART, added “Alhamdulillah, the mass circumcision program completed smoothly thanks to the support of many parties. The success of each Gebyar Muharram 1447 H agenda is a tangible testament to the collaboration and care shown by XLSMART employees and management. May the generosity we show this Muharram bring blessings to all and have a lasting, positive impact on those in need. MTXLSMART also aims to cultivate a caring culture among employees in order to create a more compassionate and socially conscious workforce for the benefit of Indonesian society.”
The Gebyar Muharram 1447 H program, with themes #GebyarBerbagi and #BersamaDiMuharram, is funded through monthly zakat and charity donations from XLSMART employees and management. MTXLSMART manages these funds and distributes them to eligible recipients. Aside from its program for orphans and underprivileged children, MTXLSMART has consistently established similar initiatives in previous years to assist underserved communities, such as bridge construction, water sources, electricity access, water depots, blood donations, home renovations, road construction, and mosque building. Following the events in Cirebon and Jakarta, MTXLSMART plans to roll out such programs to Makassar, Banjarmasin, Bandung, Medan, Surabaya, Palembang, and Banten.
