Portrait of Fariz RM Reading His Personal Plea While Regretting, Often Slipping When Under Pressure

With a tone full of regret, senior musician Fariz RM read his defense note or personal plea before the panel of judges during a narcotics case hearing at the South Jakarta District Court on Monday (11/8/2025). He not only apologized but also revealed his inner struggle against addiction, which he described as the biggest mistake of his life.

This personal defense was delivered after his legal team, led by Deolipa Yumara, submitted a plea requesting that Fariz be released or rehabilitated, arguing that their client is a victim, not a dealer as alleged by the prosecutor.

"My biggest mistake was choosing to use drugs in my youth, which subsequently became a bad habit in me," said Fariz RM in the courtroom.

"Honestly, I must say that it does not interfere with my professional activities, because I have never used drugs while working, so it does not directly affect my reputation," he said.

"I admit I have a weakness where I often slip when I am under psychological pressure. I slip back into using again," he explained.

Facing the possibility of punishment, Fariz expressed acceptance and readiness to receive the judge's decision. He views this legal process as God's way of giving him a chance to improve himself.
