JAKARTA - The management of Holywings Indonesia admitted that it did not know that their creative team chose the names of Muhammad and Maria as the targets for the promotion of free alcohol drinks. This was conveyed to the DKI Jakarta DPRD.

Responding to this, Member of Commission B of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Hasbiallah Ilyas, does not believe that the management does not know about this.

"This Holywings, in my opinion, is a public lie. He said the management doesn't know. It's impossible, sir," Hasbi said at a working meeting that brought together the ranks of the DKI Provincial Government and the management of Holywings at the DKI DPRD building, Wednesday, June 29.

Logically, according to Hasbi, Holywings' management is tasked with maintaining the continuity of its operations to the smallest detail. Because, in running a business, MSME actors must know their business operations.

"(The grocery store) knows how many cigarettes he sells today, the management of which is only guarded by one person. Why is it that Holywings doesn't know? , that's not true in my opinion," he shouted.

Previously, the General Manager of Project Company Holywings Indonesia, Yuli Setiawan, claimed that the names of Muhammad and Maria, who are now in a legal case, were decided unilaterally by the creative team without management's knowledge.

This was conveyed by Yuli when the management of Holywings was summoned to attend a working meeting of Commission D DPRD DKI Jakarta and the ranks of the DKI Provincial Government.

"We are aware that what the creative team has done or promoted from Holywings and the management of Hoywings is not aware of is an act that is not commendable and not justified which causes a commotion in the midst of the Indonesian people," said Yuli.

Actually, a promo like this has been running for three months. However, the names that got the previous promo were different. Yuli mentioned examples of promos for other names such as Firman and Feni, Tomi and Talia, Andreas and Amanda, Kevin and Kartika, and so on.

Yuli explained that the selection of the names of people who got free alcohol was decided by the creative team. So far, the name selection has not been a problem. So, when the creative team chose the names Muhammad and Maria and caused criticism from many parties, the management felt they were misled.

"Regarding the use of the names Muhammad and Maria, Holywings management never knew before. So, in this case, they feel cheated by the actions of the social media promotion team who deliberately used these names, with motives that we are investigating internally," explained Yuli.
