Due to the Corona pandemic, Anang Hermansyah was forced to close his karaoke business. He had to lay off several employees who were also given compensation.

"We temporarily laid off all of our employees, but with some compensation of course. We all mutually agreed to provide some relief, considering the abnormal situation we are in. Everyone is experiencing a decline in performance and so on, which also has a significant impact on the business. During our meeting yesterday, the employees also offered compensation. In the end, we agreed that it's okay. The employees said, 'Pay 2/3 of the salary and don't pay the remaining 1/3.' This is a subsidy to ensure that we can continue operating next month," he explained.
