Ruben Onsu Questions Sarwendah's Motive for Holding a Press Conference About Debt Collectors, Says There is an Attempt to Corner Him

Kapanlagi.com - The feud between Ruben Onsu and Sarwendah following their divorce has entered a new and increasingly heated chapter. Ruben Onsu's party, through his lawyer, Minola Sebayang, openly questions the motive behind the press conference held by Sarwendah's camp regarding the incident involving debt collectors.

Minola Sebayang is puzzled as to why a matter that should be private has been brought to the public sphere. He suspects there is an attempt to discredit and corner his client, as if Ruben Onsu is in an unstable economic condition.
"It is suspected that the press conference is merely intended to discredit our client, Ruben. They want to show that Ruben is currently in a state of economic incapacity," said Minola Sebayang when met in Pulomas, East Jakarta, on Saturday (15/11/2025).

According to him, if the core issue is the performance of the debt collector that does not follow procedures, there are other legal mechanisms that can be pursued without having to announce it to the public.

"Is the purpose of the press conference related to the issue of wanting to emphasize the existence of debt collectors who are doing their work outside of working hours in inappropriate ways or what? So much so that a press conference is necessary," he asked rhetorically.

2. Can Be Resolved Simply

Minola also clarified that the incident should be able to be resolved in a very simple way. Considering that the debt collectors came to the wrong address, Sarwendah's party simply needed to inform them that they were at the wrong address.

"It's just like someone sending a package to the wrong address. If the person who comes is at the wrong address, we just say, 'You are at the wrong address because the one who has the responsibility and obligation is someone else, not me.' It's that simple, right?" he asserted.

3. Installments Not Due Yet

Furthermore, he revealed that the overdue installments are actually not yet critically due. Ruben Onsu is said to be only a few days late, which he considers normal in credit matters.

Now, Ruben Onsu's side feels that amplifying this issue is very unwise and could potentially damage Ruben's image in the eyes of the public. They hope that the focus can return to more essential matters, such as the relationship between parents and children.

"My client says that the due date has not actually arrived yet. So it is very strange if someone comes to collect something that is not yet due," explained Minola.
