Indonesian Ice Tea Summons Customers Protest Too Sweet Drinks CNN Indonesia Sunday, 25 Sep 2022 13:04 WIB Jakarta, CNN Indonesia -- PT Es Teh Indonesia Makmur (a franchise company, similar to Starbucks but tea) sent a subpoena to customers who criticized their drink products as being too sweet. The company, which is led by Nagita Slavina (a prominent Indonesian celebrity), considers the protest submitted by a customer named Gandhi via the @Gandhoyy Twitter account to be inappropriate. In a copy of the summons that Gandhi uploaded, the company considered Gandhi's statement on the taste of the product to be subjective. In addition, other options have also been customized according to consumer needs. "So it is inappropriate to state that Chizu Red Velvet products (drinks) such as sugar weighs 3 kg.

The company also felt insulted by the words "animal" and other unkind words written by Gandhi. On that basis, PT ES Teh Indonesia issued a subpoena and asked Gandhi to delete his uploads which were critical of their products. "We hereby warn and strongly rebuke you to immediately delete and clarify statements (tweets) on your personal twitter account, no later than 2x24 hours from the date of this letter," the company wrote. After receiving a subpoena from PT Es Teh Indonesia, Gandhi later apologized and deleted the upload containing criticism of the sugar content of the Indonesian Es Teh drink. He admitted that he had denounced Indonesian Ice Tea products, causing the company's losses. "I myself want to apologize to PT. ES Teh Indonesia Makmur because I have made a tweet that has been widely discussed by the public related to one of its products, namely 'Chizu Red Velvet," he wrote on his Twitter account @Gandhoyy, Sunday (25/9). "I have an opinion and at the same time vilify the name of the product, providing wrong information, its contents, and the name of the company. Once again I apologize for the tweet I made for defaming the good name of PT. ES Teh Indonesia Makmur," he continued. CNNIndonesia.com has contacted Gandhi and PT Es Teh Indonesia. However, the two parties concerned have not responded.

For that, allow me to explain that the objection letter is purely a directive from me and not the fault of our legal team, especially Hendra or Femmy Vandriansyah whose names are being mentioned," said Ronny in an Instagram TV broadcast on Instagram, Friday (5/2). ). Ronny said that previously the directive to send an open letter had been rejected by his company's internal team that the action was wrong. However, he insisted on giving warning letters to several content creators, including Dian Widianarko regarding the poor quality of the videos he made. ''Actually, the internal team has warned and explained that this step is not correct and appropriate. However, at that time I still insisted on running. For this incident, no one is to blame. Obviously what is wrong is that I and I as the CEO are fully responsible for this incident,'' said Ronny. Ronny said the incident was a meaningful lesson for him as the leader of PT Eigerindo. He also promised to change himself into a wiser and less arrogant person. With this incident, Ronny said he would improve the procedures for communicating and adapting in the digital world. Not only that, he also said he would learn and listen to young people about today's digital world. Through the IG TV, Ronny also revealed that his party would openly accept criticism and suggestions regarding the company's products.

In this regard, there are several things we can say: The letter uploaded via the @duniadian twitter account is actually sent from by our internal team. We are aware that what we are doing is not right and wrong. Indeed, our initial intent and purpose was to provide feedback to reviewers to make it even better. But again, we realized that our delivery method was wrong. Once again we sincerely apologize to the Eigerians. May God always be with our good intentions.

Through his Instagram account, Tirta wrote that local brands should be happy if someone reviews their products honestly. Especially if the customer who reviewed also bought the product himself. "The customer has bought it. No endorsement. Pay. Review. Must be happy for the brand to get awareness." "But I just found out. There is a brand that is angry with the customer because of an 'honest review' and giving this kind of summons." "Well @eigeradventure your brand is really big. I admit it. Local brands are great. But this is not how they treat customers who review," he wrote. 5. Eiger apologizes Regarding the viral upload, the CEO of PT Eigerindo MPI, Ronny Lukito, apologized for what happened to Dian Widiyanarko. "On behalf of the company PT Eigerindo Multi Produk Industri (MPI), as the company that oversees the EIGER Adventure brand, we humbly convey our deepest apologies to the public for the problems that occurred," said Ronny in an official statement received by Kompas.com, Thursday, (28/1/2021). He confirmed that the objection letter sent to Dian Widiyanarko was indeed sent by the internal party of PT Eigerindo MPI. Ronny admitted that what he did was wrong and wrong. "Actually, our initial intention and goal was to provide feedback to reviewers to make it even better. But once again, we realized that our delivery method was wrong," he continued.
