"He is a very good person. When I was in prison, he helped me a lot, I was sent food. Anyway, he supported me, when I was released I had not met him, he said just fine, suddenly like this (died) I feel like someone who are helped a lot feel lost," said Saipul when met by VOI.

Dewi Perssik's ex-husband explained that he knew about Dorce's illness from the mass media, but when contacted directly, his best friend admitted that he was fine and not as reported. This made Saipul amazed because he did not want to trouble himself who was in a slump.
