JAKARTA - Behind his eccentricity and actions, the figure of lawyer Hotman Paris Hutapea holds a lot of sadness. He even revealed that he had thought about ending his life.
This story was shared by his son, Frans Hutapea. He explained that his father had been in a failed position.
"Dad once told me that he almost killed himself. In my opinion, mental health has genetics," Frank Hutapea told Melaney Ricardo.
"He almost killed himself because he didn't feel successful. It wasn't a made-up story," he added.
Frank Hutapea had told his grandmother to tears because Hotman Paris was not found for almost a month.
"I know very well that the late grandmother said, looking for her for three weeks at the Polres Polres, thought she had died and was crying," he explained.
"Turns out he did lock himself in Sunter's house for two weeks because he didn't feel successful," said Frank.
Hotman Paris also explained the same thing. At that time he admitted that his transition while working at Bank Indonesia had undergone many changes.
"Because I'm always the champion, right, when I'm at Bank Indonesia, I feel like I have a lot of competitors. That's why it's like I'm not progressing like that," said Hotman Paris at an event.
Hotman Paris stopped the suicidal intention after hearing about the pedicab driver. At that time the pedicab driver was laughing while playing beside Hotman Paris.
"So that time it failed because I heard at the intersection there was the sound of a pedicab driver playing gaple. Now they were laughing at that time," recalled Hotman.
"In the end, I threw away the liquid, I thought why the pedicab driver could laugh and smile, how come I'm so frustrated. In the end, I didn't commit suicide," said Hotman Paris.
