The Executive Director of the Indonesian Textile Association (API), Ernovian G. Ismy said, so some of the issue is right, some are completely wrong. Info from the API may not be 100% correct, because of a total of 5,600 TPT Indonesia companies, only 1,600 are members of the API.

According to him, when viewed from the development of Idul Fitri yesterday, indeed many companies are long holiday, so it is thought to stop operating, but it is a quiet order. "Because its quiet, Lebaran holiday is expanded," said Ernovian to INDUSTRY.co.id in Jakarta (1/8/2017).

Ernovian further revealed, with the existence of such issues could be a signal for stkeholder of national textile industry. "If there is no business climate change, the issue of traja could happen, and not only in TPT industry, but also to other sectors," he concluded.

Conclusion:<> The news circulating about the mass closure of spinning mills, is not true news alias Hoax.
