Gus Ipul also appreciates both parties who are able to engage in a mature dialogue. "I am very happy because Mas Densu and Mas Farhat were able to exchange ideas, clarify each other, and tabbayun.

Farhat Abbas expressed his gratitude for the peace that has been achieved. He also praised Denny Sumargo's attitude, whom he considers to be a kind-hearted person.

"Bang Denny is a good person, which is why he is here today and humbly apologized. I also apologize, especially to his family and relatives. From the beginning, we actually had no issues," explained Farhat.
