JAKARTA - The Jakarta Formula E Organizing Committee rejected the toy in the form of a toy car with a cover on the face of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan as part of the electric car racing event which was held in Ancol, North Jakarta, on Saturday, June 4 yesterday.
"Absolutely not, it's a hoax," said Vice President Communications for Formula E Jakarta, Iman Sjafei in Jakarta, Monday, June 6, quoted from Antara.
He ensured that the electric car racing event in Jakarta did not sell knick-knacks with the image of Anies Baswedan's face.
Iman added that all merchandise sold at the Formula E Jakarta event was issued by a global organizer, namely Formula E Operation (FEO).
"The official 'merchandise' that is issued is FEO," he said.
During one day of the Formula E electric car race in Ancol, there were several official outlets selling knick-knacks in the circuit area and the Jakarta Expo Kemayoran.
The knick-knacks sold include t-shirts, hats, water bottles, umbrellas, jackets and bags with the majority black and blue inscribed with Formula E.
Meanwhile, videos showing knick-knacks in the form of a toy car with Anies Baswedan's face cover circulated on social media, one of which was TikTok.
The video shows an image of Anies' face with glasses and a brown shirt with a toy in the form of a racing car that reads Formula E.
On the back of the toy wrapper, there is an inscription "Jakarta twists and turns, insists on hosting Formula E".
