PT Petrona Inti Chemindo (PIC) as a company that imports hard candy or known as candy dot regrets the Surabaya City Government's steps in raiding its products in the market.

"What we need is the restoration of good name," said PT PIC's attorney, Prihadi Saputro at a press conference held at the JW Marriott Hotel, Surabaya, Monday (13/3/2017).

Although it regrets the action which is considered unprocedural, PT PIC will not sue the Surabaya City Government. They just want the Surabaya City Government to rehabilitate or restore the name of the candy pacifier which has been declared by the BNN and the Surabaya BBPOM that it does not contain drugs.

"No need to reply," said Prihadi.

The trick, said Prihadi, is through socialization carried out by the Surabaya City Government. Because the polemic of the dot candy goes viral every day, PT PIC asks that the socialization be carried out every day as well. Socialization can be done through advertisements or directly to traders.

"Prepare a re-socialization which essentially explains to the public that pacifier candy is safe and does not contain harmful ingredients, let alone drugs. We give 14 days from today to do the socialization," continued Prihadi.

Prihadi added that there was no reason why the Surabaya City Government refused to socialize because based on the results of the BBPOM laboratory test, pacifiers were proven to be safe. When tested at BBPOM, the candy with the Penguin Brand trademark has gone through two stages of testing.

The first test, candy has passed the four parameter level test. While in the second test, the candy has passed the 16 parameter level test. In addition to not containing hazardous materials, Prihadi said that administratively, PT PIC has obtained an approval for the registration of processed food issued by BPOM RI.

"We have pocketed the approval since 2008-2013, then we extended it from August 19, 2013 to August 19, 2018. Meanwhile, our import permits are still long, until 2021," explained Prihadi.

Prihadi did not deny the losses suffered by his client. This case indeed started in Surabaya, but its impact then spread nationwide due to the viral news in various news and social media.

"As a result of this virus, traders who are our leading partners in Bekasi, West Java, Jakarta and many other cities have suffered material losses," said Prihadi.

Although he said he had suffered material losses, Prihadi did not mention the figures. He only mentions billions as the nominal loss suffered by his client. But the material loss, he said, was not the essence of resolving the case.

"We don't really look at the money because we don't expect the Surabaya City Government to return it. What's important is name rehabilitation, restoration of good name. Why don't we sue, because we don't want drama. The important thing is we can work," said Prihadi.

The Satpol PP and the sub-districts in Surabaya who took the early prevention steps immediately returned the candy that was secured after the results of the BBPOM and BNN lab tests declared it safe.

In addition to returning to the traders who were recorded at the beginning of the raid, the dot-type candies that were brought were also purchased by the sub-district.
