JAKARTA - PT TIKI, Eka Nugraha (JNE), became a trending topic on Twitter last weekend. Netizens are busy calling for a movement to stop using JNE services. The call started with the posting of a video greeting for JNE's 30th birthday from the Secretary General of the HRS Center, Ustaz Haikal Hassan Baras.

JNE's attorney, Hotman Paris, said that he spoke about negative comments to his client companies. Hotman suspects that there is a certain motivation to bring down JNE. This is due to the massive attack on JNE related to the video greeting Ustaz Haikal Hassan's birthday.

"The problem is that there is too much gossip everywhere in groups. And surely if there is no motivation it will not be that aggressive (attacking him)," he said, at a press conference, at Jetski Kafe, Pantai Mutiara, Pluit, North Jakarta. , Wednesday, December 16th.

This was agreed by the President Director of JNE, Mohammad Feriadi. He said that the issue that was developing regarding his company being affiliated with a mass organization was an issue that was deliberately exploited by certain parties.

"We see that this issue is indeed taking advantage of the moment where the political temperature is heating up. But I also need to convey it here, in December there is a date where on that date, namely 12.12 logistics companies will definitely wait for that date," said Feriadi.

Furthermore, Feriadi said, on that date is the national online shopping day (Harbolnas), where many online businesses offer many promos for consumers.

"We suspect. Once again we suspect that this is all related to business competition," he said.

But unfortunately, when asked by Hotman whether JNE already knew who the business competitors were who deliberately raised the issue, Feriadi admitted that he did not know for sure.

"Not yet (know). But there are indications (business competition). We see it seems that way," he explained.
