'Indonesia Raya' Song Echoes at Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Dik Doang Bumps into Uki, Former NOAH Member

Kapanlagi.com - The name Mohammad Kautsar Hikmat, also known as Uki, has recently become a public discussion. As known, the former guitarist of NOAH has decided to convert and leave the music world that has made his name. The problem is, Uki made a statement that music is a door to sin and he does not feel proud of his past.

Some musicians reacted strongly to Uki's statement, as recently shown by Dik Doank. In his latest Instagram post, Dik Doank uploaded a video clip of the touching and proud moment of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, precisely when the song 'Indonesia Raya' was played as an appreciation because Indonesia won a gold medal in the women's doubles badminton event.

What is interesting is the caption written by Dik Doank, where he suddenly mentioned Uki's name. Not mocking, the singer who is also an actor seems to just want to emphasize to Uki that not all music is associated with a bad image.

"OLYMPIC GOLD. BISMILLAH. My friend Uki NOAH, the song and 'MUSIC' INDONESIA RAYA has resonated to unite this nation that was almost devastated by the pandemic! No sin! no adultery! no drunkenness, sportsmanship, competition, health! Let's celebrate with gratitude. Astagfirullah. ALFATIHAH," wrote Dik Doank in the caption of his video post.

 

1. Dik Doank's Post Invites Pros and Cons

As is known, Dik Doank is also one of the musicians who decided to convert in order to strengthen his faith. However, unlike Uki, Dik Doank has no regrets about his past. He is even still actively creating at the age of over half a century.

Now, the caption written by Dik Doank certainly invites pros and cons. Most netizens commented on Indonesia's achievements at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, but there are also those who feel disappointed because Dik indirectly criticized Uki.

"Why bring up Uki NOAH? People's opinions may vary, sir, I am not someone who forbids music, I am also a lover of Sheikh Hisyam Kabani. But your way is very subjective and it is not wise at all," wrote one netizen.
