Coffin Sender Charged with Objectionable Act

The police see factors of deliberate and meditated act in the dispatch of 100 coffins by Sumardy, CEO of Buzz&Co. Although the aim of sending the package was for advertisement, based on reports filed by the general public, the police are still processing this case.

Tanah Abang District Police Chief Adjunct Chief Comm. Johansen Simamora said that Sumardy can be prosecuted for causing anxiety in the society, based on Article 335 on Objectionable Act.

“There is still evidence of 31 coffins yet to be dispatched. We also confined a laptop containing the list of 100 recipients of the package,” Johansen, Monday evening, June 6, 2011 told Vivanews.com

Head of Operational Bureau Jakarta Regional Police Chief Comm. Sujarno confirmed there have been reports from the public regarding the matter. The Jakarta Post and Kompas.com editorial boards reported this case.

“We received the reports from the society which became anxious of the coffin dispatch,” said Sujarno.

The investigation into Sumardy was because his act is categorized as terror. The coffins were dispatched without informing the recipients.

In addition, the sender had never known the recipients of the package. This is what triggered suspicions, considering the number of cases of package dispatch earlier.

Sumardy is not the only one. His staff members and four couriers of the coffin dispatch were also under the investigation of Kebon Jeruk West Jakarta District Police. They are Teddy, Yosep, Viktor and the ‘project manager’, Mellyna.

Sumardy was found of sending small-size coffins for advertisement prior to the launching of Rest in Peace Advertising book. Inside the package there are flower and a piece of paper saying www.restinpeace.com, including a kind of code for login on the to-be-launched web that could only be accessed by 12pm WIB (Western Indonesia Time).

According to Sumardy, this is a breakthrough in advertisement world. The reason is a lot of people are weary of ads on television, and this method is a marketing strategy. He also emphasized that if this act is considered terror, he is ready to be investigated by the police.

In addition to The Jakarta Post editorial board, addressed to Daniel Rembeth, which arrived yesterday, some packages were also sent to Metro TV, RCTI, Kompas.com, Okezone.com, Detik.com and Tempo. Some packages were also sent to companies including Indosat Tbk, Garuda Food, Garda Otto and LG Indonesia.

I'm actually doubtful if this marketing stunt will work. It is kind of offensive on the recipient's part.

People always think outside the box just to come up with creative and sometimes, original ideas for a certain product to become a hit and of course to become popular. I just don't know if this controversy which even included the police will still work for their product.

Sexual Harassment Lawyer said...

For me before they dispatched the coffin they must respect the recipients. We don't know what comes on the mind of the people, we simply jump into the conclusion without thinking what really the reason behind.

Its really weird, I would say. There are much better and saner ways to advertise than doing this.

I haven't heard much about this... Where were the coffins sent? And why? So strange.

Phoenix News Resource said...

This is the freakiest yet effective strategy for an advertisement of a funeral business. That was creepy. Imagine someone sends you home a coffin. Who knows whatever is inside the coffin? Only to find out that it's just an advertisement.

San Marcos News Resource said...

Whoever made this marketing strategy is a genius and at the same time crazy. That was insane. I wonder how many clients he got after sending the coffins. Or should I say complaints.

Acting as though produces a surface study that will not give a convincing performance. Becoming the part is so much more effective. Act from the inside and then you don't have to act. All you have to do is learn the lines! The rest weill emerge. Study the works of Lee Strassberg or Sandy Meissner.
