JAKARTA - Member of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Hasbiallah Ilyas, believes that restaurants in Jakarta that sell alcoholic beverages do not have a license or bar business certificate, not only at Holywings.

According to Hasbi, nearly half of the total businesses operating in the capital have committed the same delinquency as Holywings. However, this has not been revealed yet.

"In my opinion, Holywings is only a small part of those in DKI Jakarta and many more. I'm sure that almost 50 percent of their permits are not in accordance with existing regulations," Hasbi said in a working meeting that brought together the ranks of the DKI Provincial Government and Holywings management. at the DKI DPRD building, Wednesday, June 29.

Similarly, member of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Gilbert Simanjuntak, also views that there are still many restaurants that also sell alcoholic beverages without an entertainment business license.

"They (Holywings) only opened their ulcers. Actually, there are still people out there that may be far more sinister than here (Holywings)," said Gilbert.

This, according to Gilbert, shows the weakness of the DKI Provincial Government in issuing and supervising the licensing of business premises in Jakarta.

"The problem is that the provincial government gives a business license. A business license is not allowed to drink on the spot, it's not given, but a business license is given by the provincial government. So, it's not purely Holywings' fault," he said.

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 KBLI 47221 certificate. This certification is valid for the sale of alcoholic beverages by take away, or taking them home 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.
