"Be careful about what is being promoted. We must urge that promotions should not be done recklessly just because of the lure of money,” he added.

"We ask our colleagues who have influence on social media, such as YouTubers, celebrities on Instagram, or TikTokers, not to promote things that are not good. This is part of our duty to protect the public,” he stated.

On the other hand, Denny Cagur finally spoke out regarding the viral video. Denny confirmed that he has attended the call for examination at Bareskrim Polri to provide clarification and fulfill his obligations as a citizen.

"The process has indeed been underway, there were 27 artists involved at that time, all of them did not know that what was being promoted was related to online gambling. We have all been summoned to the Bareskrim and I have come, following the existing regulations,” said Denny at the DPR RI building, Jakarta.

Denny revealed that all the artists involved in promoting the online gambling site have provided statements to the police. He also assured that the legal process is now fully handed over to the authorities.

"After that, the process continues and now we hand everything over to the police,” he added.
