Bobby Nasution Just Gave A Warning, Governor Edy Asked Holywings To Be Closed: Just Close It, It's Disturbing

MEDAN - The Mayor of Medan Bobby Nasution has just given a warning to the management of the Holywings Medan outlet and ordered the management to apologize to the public regarding the promotion of liquor that was suspected of blaspheming religion.

But the Governor of North Sumatra (Gubsu) Edy Rahmayadi asked the regional head to act decisively.

"I appeal to the mayors/regents, let's answer the people's aspirations to close Holywings, because that is the authority of the Pemko/Regency Governments," said Governor Edy's statement via an upload on the edy_rahmayadi Instagram account, Thursday, June 30.

In the description of his upload, Governor Edy confirmed that he supports Holywings in Medan being closed. The alcohol promotion incident for visitors named Muhammad and Maria triggered a wave of rejection of Holywing in a number of areas.

“To be honest, personally, I strongly support that Holywings in North Sumatra should be closed because it is already very disturbing. But because the authority to close nightclubs can only be done by the local Mayor/Regent, so I urge the Regional Heads to work together. We will solve this problem, answer the people's aspirations by closing Holywings," said Governor Edy.

Regarding the Holywings permit, Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution previously said the permit was still running. However, the Medan City Government has given a warning to Holywings.

"The permit is still running, but we gave a warning yesterday," Bobby told reporters in Medan, Tuesday, June 28.

According to Bobby, the reprimand contained an urge to Holywings to apologize to Muslims and Christians in the city of Medan.
