Illegal joint ads

We have learnt that PT Dayacipta Megakreasi, Jl. Mampang Prapatan X No. 37 B, Jakarta 2790, has sent a proposal to Garuda's working partners on the publication of a joint advertisement to congratulate Garuda for The Best in Achieving Total Customer Satisfaction award that it received from Frontier, a marketing research consultant, and SWA magazine on Sept. 8, 2000. In connection with this, we would like to state that Garuda has never appointed a single company, including PT Dayacipta Megakreasi, located at Jl. Mampang Prapatan X No. 37, Jakarta 12790, to coordinate the publication of such a joint advertisement.

We deem it necessary to clarify this matter as Garuda has been receiving a lot of queries from its working partners, inquiring whether or not it is true that PT Dayacipta Megakreasi has been appointed to make a proposal on the joint advertisement.

In the context of the receipt of "The Best in Achieving Total Customer Satisfaction", Garuda has made an announcement about this which it financed by itself without involving its working partners or other companies. This announcement was published in a number of national mass media publications on Sept. 9, 2000.

As Garuda has never appointed any companies, including PT Dayacipta Megakreasi, to coordinate a joint congratulatory advertisement, we now wish to suggest to all our working partners and other companies that they should not participate in this activity.
