Chairman of Executive Committee of the Indonesian Consumers Organization Foundation (YLKI) Tulus Abadi protested on a Bikini-brand snack product. Tulus said the brand sold in social media is considered as indecent.
“That is a snack (fried noodle) product with a non-educational, even indecent, brand name”, Tulus said Wednesday, August 3, 2016.
Recently, information of the Bikini snack circulates through chain messages. The product shows a woman’s body from shoulder to hip with just wearing a bikini. The worst part is the package has “remas aku” (squeeze me) slogan written on it.
YLKI protested the circulation of the product and asked to recall the product from the market. Tulus requested the National Drug and Food Agency of Indonesia (BPOM) to reprove the manufacturer and demand to shut down any form of sales through social media.
“Online selling, particularly via e-commerce Olx.com and Bukalapak.com, must be immediately stopped. Consumers must not purchase the product, especially the children,” said Tulus.
