JAKARTA - Tengku Dewi openly revealed her reasons for speaking out about her post-disbandment issues. He emphasized that his actions were purely to fight for the rights of his children, not to seek public attention or bring down any party.

Through his statement, Tengku Dewi explained that his decision to speak in public was the last step after good communication efforts for almost a year were fruitless.

"Actually, I'm here talking about no intention of attacking any party or vilifying or dropping or saying I'm looking for a stage, social assistance (social massage), no," he said, quoted by VOI from Instagram @rumpi_ttv, Friday, October 17.

"But I'm here to fight for my children's rights, because I've been trying to communicate for the past year in a good way, but I don't think I can find the way," he continued.

He stressed that what he was fighting for was not a request, but a child's rights that had been legally stipulated by the court after the divorce, including regarding living.

"In my opinion, our decision here to divorce has been determined by the court's decision, like who the children follow, then for the child's livelihood. So I'm here to fight for my children," he explained.

"That is the right of my children and children, all of them are toddlers, in the future it will be a long time."

Furthermore, Tengku Dewi felt that her voice also represented many other single mothers who faced similar but helpless situations. He highlighted the weakness of the legal system in Indonesia in protecting and fighting for the rights of mothers and children after divorce.

"Here I speak because I think there are so many people from the nearest environment, I also take care of the same thing and they feel like they can't do anything," he said.

"In my opinion, even after I became a single mom, the law in Indonesia, I'm sorry, it is very weak to fight for the rights of mothers who have separated from their husbands."

Tengku Dewi closed her statement by emphasizing that fulfilling obligations to children should not depend on the communication or mood of the ex-partner, because this has become a binding legal decision.

"Even though it's clear there for the children, it's not like the communication or mood of the former, it's clear," he concluded.
