Baim Wong was present to pay his last respects for the passing of Ibrahim Sjarief Assegaf, the husband of Najwa Shihab, on Tuesday (20/5/2025). He was seen at the mourning house in the Jeruk Purut area, South Jakarta, along with several other notable figures who came to pay their respects.

In front of the media, Baim admitted that he has known Najwa Shihab's family closely for a long time. In fact, he mentioned that his family's relationship with the Quraish Shihab family has been established since his father was still alive and active in the government.

"Their family has indeed been close for a long time, so... it was shocking to hear. I was shocked to hear the news. But, well... just pray for him. We can only pray for peace. I met with his family earlier," said Baim when met at the mourning house.

"He knows how to see us, how we see him, in a way we convey through our eyes. We can't be too much, because there are many guests too, we don’t know what it feels like, maybe after this it will be a bit calmer. The one who suffers the most is actually his child, let's just pray for them," said Baim.

He also highlighted the close relationship between Najwa and her late husband, which he says is evident from their very open and harmonious household life.

"It looks like 10 families. He has different connections, meaning his house also has 11 plots in front and back, and there are no fences, so we meet every day, learning a lot from them," said Baim reminiscing about the warmth of the late family's home.
