Kapanlagi.com - Marcell Siahaan recently made a surprising confession that he has converted to Islam in the past 5 years. The spiritual journey of the singer of Firasat can be considered quite long, as he has changed his beliefs several times before.
Marcell's confession itself has received various positive responses from the public, especially the Muslim community. One of the greetings came from an activist and well-known politician, Budiman Sudjatmiko.
"Welcome, @MarcellSiahaan. Hopefully, you will become a friendly Muslim. Never spit on the past because your journey has been luxurious. Not everyone goes through it," Budiman wrote in a tweet on his Twitter account.
Marcell responded positively, "My past is a process that has matured me, Mas @budimandjatmiko. I will never spit on it because without it, I am not who I am now."

Among the many comments from netizens, there is one that caught the attention of the public, where someone suggested that Marcell start hanging out more often at Arie Untung's place, who is known to have converted first and now has become a much more religious figure.
"Go hang out at Ari Untung's place once in a while, bro," wrote the account @d_mustama.
Interestingly, Marcell gave a concise, brief, and clear answer stating that he is not interested in the idea, "No, thank you," Marcell replied while adding a folded hands emoticon.
Unfortunately, Marcell did not provide a reason behind his rejection. Nevertheless, many netizens support the decision of this 43-year-old man. What do KLovers think about it?
