JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government claims to have revoked the permits for all Holywings Jakarta outlets. From morning until noon today, 12 outlets spread across South Jakarta, Central Jakarta, West Jakarta and North Jakarta have been sealed.

However, it turned out that one outlet, namely Holywing Pondok Indah in South Jakarta, had no banners or sealing stickers installed. The Head of the Supervision and Control Section of the DKI Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Agency (Disparekraf) Iffan admitted that he had only just learned about this.

"In principle, we will check whether it is open or not," Iffan said when contacted, Tuesday, June 28.

According to Iffan, all Holywings outlets in Jakarta should have been sealed and banned from operating since the license revocation. Regarding Holywings Pondok Indah which has not been sealed, there is a possibility that the ranks of the DKI Provincial Government will escape prosecution. Bearing in mind, Holywings Pondok Indah is also not listed in the list of 12 closed outlets.

"Overall it should be closed because we don't see that he has all of them, the context is the same. Maybe it's like this, technically we checked the 12. Yes, the name is human, if for example we miss it, we will check it later," said Iffan.

For information, the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan on Monday 27 June 2022 issued a decision to close and revoke Holywings' operational permit in Jakarta through the DKI Jakarta Provincial Investment and One Stop Integrated Service (DPMPTSP). In total there were 12 outlets that had to be closed, although not all of them carried out the controversial alcohol promotion.

The revocation of the permit was based on the recommendation of the DKI Jakarta Tourism and Creative Economy Office (Disparekraf) and the DKI Jakarta Department of Industry, Trade, Cooperatives and SMEs (DPPKUKM).

Interestingly, the closure of Holywings was not based on the controversy over the viral promotion of alcohol or accusations of religious harassment, but on the issue of licensing violations. Holywings is said to have not met the Indonesian Standard Classification of Business Fields (KBLI).

KBLI is a classification compiled by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), with the aim of classifying Indonesia's economic activities that produce products, both in the form of services and goods based on the field of business. and snacks at the place of business.

It is stated that Holywings only has a certificate of KBLI 47221. This certification is valid for the sale of alcoholic beverages by take away, or take-away instead of being consumed on the spot.

"Meanwhile, the results of field supervision show that Holywings Group's business is selling alcoholic beverages for drinking in places that legally should have a Direct Sales Certificate (SKPL) class B and C with PB-UMKU KBLI 56301. Of the seven outlets, they have a KBLI Retailer Certificate. 47221, even the other five outlets do not have the letter,” said the Head of DKI Jakarta DPPKUKM, Elisabeth Ratu Rante Allo.

The twelve Holywings outlets in Jakarta that Anies Baswedan eventually closed were: Tanjung Duren, Kalideres, Kelapa Gading, Pantai Indah Kapuk (three outlets: Dragon, Tiger, and Holywings), Senayan, Epicentrum, Mega Kuningan, Garrison Kemang, Gunawarman, Gatot Subroto (Pancoran).
