"Starting from Miscellaneous Workers"

"Behind his wealth, it turns out that Haji Isam used to be a versatile laborer, starting from a truck driver transporting wood, heavy equipment operator, and even a motorcycle taxi driver he did."

However, he was able to change his fate. Started in 2011 when he met Johan Maulana, a coal miner from Kalimantan. Through Johan, Haji Isam learned about the coal business.

Slowly, Haji Isam established a small company funded by Johan. The first client of his company at that time was PT Arutmin Indonesia, a subsidiary of PT Bumi Resources Tbk owned by the Bakrie family. From that first client, Haji Isam's company continued to attract many clients until now. Haji Isam's reputation continues to rise. The scope of his network continues to expand. This is marked by Haji Isam's collaboration with the Chairman of MPR, Bambang Soesatyo, in 2003.

Both of them established PT Kodeco Timber, a company that holds Industrial Plantation Forest (HTI) and Forest Concession Rights (HPH).
