Khofifah Ensures 3 Holywings Outlets In Surabaya Are Closed Because They Don't Have A Permit

SURABAYA - East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa ensured that all Holywings outlets in Surabaya did not have a business license number (NIB) and did not have a Standard Certificate (SS) which was verified risk-based through the OSS RBA. Khofifah also confirmed that the three Holywings outlets in Surabaya had been closed since 28 June.

"This means that without NIB ownership, it can be ascertained that Holywings has not yet obtained a Business Permit and a Commercial or operational Permit in accordance with the line of business being carried out," said Khofifah, Wednesday, July 6.

Khofifah emphasized that the closure of the Holywings outlet had been carried out based on applicable regulations. Both according to the rules of business administration from the central government, as well as regulations from the local government. The legal basis used as the reason for the closure is PP Number 5 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing.

"In DKI Jakarta, the authority for entertainment and hotel permits is in the hands of the Governor, but in East Java it is in the hands of regents and mayors. We immediately coordinate with the Mayor of Surabaya. The sealing and closing is carried out directly by the Surabaya City Government," he said.

For information, Holywings in East Java has three outlets, all of which are located in the city of Surabaya. Each is located on Jl. Basuki Rahmat No. 23 Surabaya, Jl. Major General. Yono Soewoyo No. 5 - E Surabaya and Jl. Kertajaya Indah Timur 6/1 Blok S - 201 Surabaya.

"Even though it has been closed and sealed, currently the East Java Provincial Government and Surabaya City Government are still monitoring and supervising as well as implementing administrative sanctions in the form of controlling and stopping activities," he said.

Khofifah hopes that entertainment entrepreneurs can fulfill all requirements and comply with all licensing regulations before starting their business to ensure business certainty, without harming any party.

"Hopefully the Holywings case can be a shared lesson so that it doesn't happen again in the future," he said.
