The Indonesian guarantee industry is in mourning. Nanang Waskito (59), the Chairman of the Indonesian Guarantee Company Association (Asippindo), passed away today (April 19) at 08:15 at the Pertamina Central Hospital in Jakarta. His body was laid to rest at his home in Citra Grand Cluster Flinder Park F06 Number 15, Cibubur, before being buried at the Tanah Kusir Cemetery in South Jakarta after Asr prayers.
Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), Rini Soemarno, attended the funeral of Nanang Waskito, who also served as Director of Human Resources, General Affairs, and Compliance at Perum Jamkrindo. Rini was accompanied by the Secretary of the Ministry of BUMN, Imam Apriyanto Putro, the Deputy for Financial Services, Survey, and Consulting Services, Gatot Trihargo, along with other BUMN officials.
The Chairman of Perum Jamkrindo's Supervisory Board, Braman Setyo, and the Board of Directors were present at the funeral, including President Director Diding S. Anwar, Director of Guarantee Business Bakti Prasetyo, Director of Finance, Investment & Risk Management I Rusdonobanu, and Director of Operations and Networks R. Sophia Alizsa.
Also present were former President Director of Perum PKK (which later became Perum Jamkrindo), Soerono, President Director of PT Jasa Raharja (Persero) Budi Setyarso, and many other BUMN officials. Prayers were led by former Vice Minister of Religious Affairs, Nasaruddin Umar.
Minister Rini Soemarno and other top BUMN officials expressed their condolences to the late Nanang Waskito’s wife, Indriati, who was beside her husband's grave, crying, with their only child, Ekky, by her side.
Throughout his life, Nanang Waskito was known for his friendliness and active participation in forums for the guarantee industry, both domestically and internationally, since he took office as the Chairman of Asippindo in early 2016.
Diding S. Anwar, President Director of Perum Jamkrindo, remembered the late Nanang as a good friend who supported each other for the advancement of Indonesia’s guarantee industry, especially Jamkrindo. Nanang had served Perum Jamkrindo for 35 years. He was scheduled to retire at the end of this year, but God's will was different.
"He was a good friend, a smart leader, and a humble BUMN leader. We pray that he receives a rightful place in Allah's presence and a good end," said the Chairman of the Asippindo Advisory Board during the funeral.
Secretary of the Ministry of BUMN Imam Apriyanto Putro stated that BUMN had lost one of its best leaders. Nanang was a very reliable director at Perum Jamkrindo, having been trusted for two terms.
According to Eko B. Supriyanto, Editor-in-Chief of Infobank, as the chairman of the association consisting of 23 guarantee companies in Indonesia, the late Nanang had a high level of dedication and a vision for the continued growth of the guarantee industry and its contribution to the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises (UMKM) through guarantee schemes.
