In addition to his fear of death, Tata Liem also feels very embarrassed if he were to die in a condition like before, with blonde hair, and be called a woman.

"When I die, if I'm still being washed with my long blonde hair, it's embarrassing. If someone says I look like a beautiful woman, I don't, my body is not even good, let alone anything else that looks good. While thinking about it, I realized that I should start learning to avoid committing the sin of adultery, which is unforgivable by God," he said.

"I'm sorry for everyone, but I have to talk about this, we have seen many things happen before where there was an actor who died of AIDS, or maybe a handsome model, there is also our entertainer who changed it, but in the end it returned to its nature. We have to learn from that," he said.
