strong>The Media Hotel and Towers management just recentlyannounced their decision to cancel the controversial students' bikini partythat was initially slated to be held in the hotel on Saturday.
The party, dubbed as 'Splash After Class', made a splash on the internet after
the invitation, including in video format, circulated on social media. It was
written 'bikini summer dress' in the invitation.
The invitation mentioned that the event, that was initially planned to be held at 10 p.m. on Saturday, supported by several public and private schools in Greater Jakarta.
'We officially cancelled the pool party event because there
is an indication that there would be underage children among the people who
will attend the party,' F&B Event and Sponsorship manager Ibnu M Iqbal said
in an official statement released on
Thursday.
They insisted that they only provided the pool for the event, while the details
of the event, including the invitation, was under the responsibility of the
event organizer, Divine Production.
The event has garnered critics from many, including Indonesian Child Protection
Commission (KPAI) which claimed the event inappropriate.
'We cancelled the event because we also supported the suggestion from KPAI,' he
added. (fsu)
