Months in Prison, Galih Ginanjar Fills His Spare Time by Learning Silat Cimande

Kapanlagi.com - Three defendants in the salted fish case, namely Galih Ginanjar, Rey Utami, and Pablo Benua, once again attended the trial at the South Jakarta District Court today, Monday (20/1). Moments before the trial began, they answered several questions from the media.

Having spent months in prison, Galih Ginanjar now admits to being able to adapt to his environment. In addition to making many new friends, he also engages in many positive activities.

"I am more relaxed now because there are many friends inside and I can also engage in positive activities," said the husband of Barbie Kumalasari before the trial.

1. Learn Silat Cimande

One of the positive activities he is currently practicing is learning Silat Cimande. Coincidentally, his roommate is a Silat teacher and an ustaz. In addition to learning self-defense, Galih Ginanjar also learns to recite the Quran.

"Because in the morning I exercise, in the afternoon I practice Silat Cimande because my roommate is a Silat teacher, and he is also an ustaz. He teaches me recitation, so now I know more," he explained.

"I am naturally thirsty for self-defense. I used to try BKC and I also wanted to try traditional Silat. It's difficult to find a martial arts school, especially a private one every day," said the former husband of Fairuz A Rafiq.

2. Becoming Diligent in Sports

In addition to learning Silat, Galih also becomes more diligent in other sports such as table tennis and badminton. "Actually, our freedom is limited inside the prison. So we make use of what's available inside. For example, we rarely play sports or rarely play table tennis, now we play. We make use of what's available," he said.

"I socialize a lot and most of the inmates in my room are good people, and we can still work together," Galih concluded.
