In an effort to strengthen the bonds of friendship among members of the Purnabakti Trisakti family, a heartfelt Halal Bi Halal gathering was held under the theme “Fostering Bonds, Embracing Togetherness.” The event took place on Saturday, 12 April 2025, at Great Western Resort Hotel, Tangerang.

The event opened with a unifying rendition of the Indonesian national anthem, Indonesia Raya, followed by a spiritual atmosphere as Ustaz Supian, S.Pd.I., M.Pd. recited verses from the Holy Qur’an.

The warm and familial mood continued with remarks from Mr. Heru Purwanto, S.E., M.H., Chairperson of Purnabakti Trisakti, who emphasized the importance of preserving silaturahim (kinship and connection) as a core Trisakti value. This was followed by a speech from Mr. Sakwad Edy Kusuma, S.H., M.H., Senior Advisor to Purnabakti, who highlighted the enduring role of retirees in upholding the noble values built together over the years.

Representing Universitas Trisakti, Prof. Ir. Asri Nugrahanti, M.S., Ph.D., expressed appreciation for the continuous synergy between Purnabakti and the academic community. She also highlighted the university’s ongoing progress—from academic excellence to improved facilities—showcasing Trisakti’s consistent growth as a leading and competitive institution of higher education.

The event proceeded with a reflection on the meaning of Halal Bi Halal and a closing prayer, led by Mr. Subagia Muchtar, S.H., M.H. This moment served as a time of heartfelt introspection, mutual forgiveness, and strengthened brotherhood among attendees.

A nostalgic video showcasing the journey of Purnabakti Trisakti followed, stirring feelings of pride and remembrance. The gathering concluded with a warm handshake session, group photos, and the playing of Lebaran-themed religious songs that added to the sense of closeness among participants.

This event is expected to serve as a renewed source of inspiration for the entire Purnabakti Trisakti family to continue nurturing their bonds, supporting one another, and contributing positively to the advancement of Universitas Trisakti.
