FKBI: Alcohol Promotion Using Quranic Verse Allegedly Intentional, Needs Legal Action
The Indonesian Empowered Consumers Forum (FKBI) assesses that the promotion of alcoholic beverages using a challenge to memorize Surah Ad-Dhuha at The Sounds Project music festival in Ancol is suspected to contain elements of religious blasphemy. FKBI Chairman Tulus Abadi stated that the act was not negligence, but intentional, even by design.
Tulus supports the police's move to have detained two people in connection with the promotion. He stressed that using religious symbols to promote alcohol hurts public feelings and disregards the sensitivity of Indonesian culture.
FKBI urges law enforcement with commensurate sanctions to provide a deterrent effect. Tulus also highlighted that the alleged promotion was carried out by individuals from a subsidiary of a well-known holding company that produces various food and beverage products, and this is not the first time it has happened.
