JAKARTA - Actress Jennifer Coppen recently answered questions from netizens regarding her uploads that followed the tradition of pasing during the celebration of her new home in Bali.
He emphasized that what he did was a form of respect for local culture and traditions, not changing beliefs.
"Seriously ask, yes. If you live in Bali, even though you are Muslim, if you are grateful, a new house must be like this, right?" asked a netizen in Jennifer's video comment column which was uploaded via the TikTok account @jennifer.coppen, Sunday, April 20.
The name is tolerance! Because after all, I built a house on Bali land. I was born and raised here. That doesn't mean I did this ceremony to change religion," he replied.
In the upload, Jennifer showed the prison procession, a traditional ceremony in the Balinese people's trust to clean and purify a new house from negative things.
He emphasized that his involvement was limited to respecting, not following spiritually.
"Bali is my home. I was born and raised here, I will always remember and respect the traditions on this island," Jennifer wrote further.
Jennifer also said that she still upholds the Islamic religion she believes in, but she also upholds the value of tolerance in social life.
"I am Islam and I love my God and my religion, but that doesn't mean we can't tolerate each other," he said.
He also explained the meaning of the video he uploaded.
"In this video, we hold a prison ceremony or like cleaning a house from evil spirits according to the trust of the Balinese (correction if wrong)," he said.
