JAKARTA - The presence of a global sponsor in the form of Heineken branded beer in Formula E Jakarta continues to be in the spotlight. One of them is from a social media activist, Chusnul Chotimah.

Chusnul admitted that he was surprised when there were beer sponsors in Formula E Jakarta, the buzzers or buzzers of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan seemed to throw themselves away and did not admit it. Whereas initially, they proudly showcased a number of sponsors in the electric car racing event.

"Initially buzzer Anies proudly distributed formula E sponsors, they said this is the sponsor," said Chusnul, quoted from his Twitter account, @ChusnulCh_ on Saturday, May 28.

"It's a turn to be crowded because among the sponsors there is a beer brand, they are busy drinking, it's a global sponsor, a default sponsor, it's not our business. Those who are proud of it, they are also the ones who don't admit it," he added.

Regarding the existence of the beer sponsor, the Chair of the Formula E Jakarta Organizing Committee, Ahmad Sahroni, has provided an explanation. He said Heineken was not the official sponsor of the Jakarta E-Prix.

This beer brand is a designated global sponsor of Formula E Operation (FEO).

"It should also be noted that Heineken is a global sponsor of FEO, which is present in all Formula E racing series in various cities, including Diriyah, Saudi Arabia," said the Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives in his statement on Friday, 27 May yesterday.

FEO as the organizer and Heineken have committed to upholding the values of the people in the country or city that hosts the E-Prix. Later, there will be no sale of beer or logos at the racing event.

“FEO, Heineken, and other companies also uphold the local culture and values of the people of the countries that host Formula E. So they will adapt to the conditions in their respective countries. This is a commitment that has been confirmed from the start,” he explained.

Until now, the local sponsor of the Formula E event has not been disclosed by the organizers. However, the official website jakartaeprixofficial.com has featured a number of companies that are the main sponsors and global sponsors.

The name of the company that is included in the main sponsor is ABB from Switzerland which is engaged in automation technology, robotics, power, and heavy electrical equipment.

Furthermore, the Swiss financial company Julius Bar became the global sponsor of this event. While the technical sponsor is Michelin which is a tire company from France.

In addition, there are several companies that are members of other sponsors. Among them are Copper, Hugo Boss, Bosch, DHL, Moet & Chandon, Enelxway, Allianz, Tagheur, Anfogasta Minerals, Saudia.
