JAKARTA - The police mediated with the late Dewi Perssik and the Head of RT 06/RW 04, West Cilandak Village, Malkan, regarding the rejection of sacrificial beef so that the problem could be resolved.

"Through mediation, we will help straighten it out because until now there has been no agreement on mediation," said Cilandak Police Chief, Kompol Wahid Key, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, June 30.

Wahid explained that the mediation related to the misunderstanding between the dancer and the head of the RT was held on Thursday (29/6) at the Babul Khoirot Mosque, Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta.

He emphasized that in the mediation there was no commotion but only as a meeting between the two parties to equalize ideas.

The role of the police is only to provide facilities to follow up on reports from the public regarding the case.

"Both parties had a meeting. So there were many who watched it," he said.

His party is waiting for a follow-up meeting between the two parties to discuss this in the near future.

Dewi Perssik said that her party felt that being a citizen in the environment needed empathy from others.

"Indeed, the mosque is not a place to deposit cows, but I want to ask all of you who have empathy, just a little heart," said Dewi.

According to Dewi, the reason for putting her cow in the mosque was because of the tight working hours until she was home, there were only women.

Moreover, he often pays parking to the head of the RT so that he feels there is nothing wrong with entrusting the cow to the mosque for a while.

"He said he needed food, parking and cleaning, he said. It's just a few hours, whether I can't be helped," he said.

On Wednesday (28/6), artist Dewi Perssik through her personal Instagram account expressed her disappointment with one of the RT heads in Cilandak regarding the sacrificial beef.
