JAKARTA - Singer Hetty Koes Endang, represented by HKE Management led by Yusuf Faishal, responded to an open subpoena sent by songwriter Richard Kyoto and his legal team.

Through a written press release received by VOI today, Thursday, July 18, HKE Management seemed to mention the summons sent to Hetty Koes Endang "wrong address".

Regarding the song 'Love' performed by Hetty in the One Voice Concert Volume 2 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2015, HKE said that licensing was the realm of event organizers.

At every concert event, the Committee (EO) always deals with the authorities. For example, a concert at Singapore with Compass (org.sg), in Malaysia with MACP and in Indonesia with WAMI," reads the official statement of HKE Management.

The raid was that the committee no longer dealt with Composter. Demikisn also with Concert Singers. The singer is only on duty (according to the contract) to sing the songs requested by the Committee in accordance with the irrik provided by the Committee.

'Singer has nothing to do with Comoser/songwriter.'

Meanwhile, regarding documented, duplicated, and circulated performances in the form of compact disc (CD), as well as the songwriter's name error, HKE Management calls it not a singer's business.

The selection of songs and lyrics included in the CD/men are dealing with the same organization (Compass, MACP and WAMI). Singers are not responsible for the recording effort, and even deserve royalties," wrote HKE.

If there is a link error and the misprinting of the songwriter's name, it is the responsibility of the Committee (Siti Nurhaliza Production and Universal Music Malaysia} and the Publisher (Lincai Emas Sdn. Bhd). Not the responsibility of Singer (Hetty Koes Endang).
