The most memorable experience for Najib Rashid, Senior Copywriter Fortune Indonesia, which is also the chairman of KOSALTUN, was when the team joined the competition that was held on March 2012 by P3I at Cilandak Sport Club. “The willpower of KOSALTUN members to compete in P3I Competition was able to overcome any difficulties. At that time, although it was formed in a short time, even to drink was too difficult because of the limited supply of drinking water, but the spirit still remains. We won once, draw once and lost once, and for a newly formed team in such a short period it is not something to be shameful of,” he said.
“The pride to carry the name of the company, PT Fortune Indonesia Tbk. and the desire for giving appreciation that is not solely limited to the work-related matters has been realized through the willpower of each KOSALTUN members.”
