"Mens Rea" has reaped a lot of controversy, leading to six police reports, but comedian Pandji Pragiwaksono insists that he is not at all deterred. He promises to continue to work and make stand-up comedy performances.
"Don't you stop, Mas Pandji?" asked a journalist. "No," Pandji replied in Central Jakarta, Tuesday, February 3.
The main reason is because he feels he never came with evil intentions.
"Because it doesn't come with evil intentions, it only comes with the intention of entertaining to make people laugh," he explained.
For him, as long as his intentions are good and he is willing to explain the meaning of his work, there is no reason to stop.
He also ensured that there would be more comedy shows in the future, albeit with a different title.
"The question is whether there will be another comedy show, there will definitely be one, but the title is no longer Mens Rea," he said.
Pandji is known as a comedian who likes to raise social and political issues in his material. This will continue to be done in his next works.
"In 10 performances I do like to discuss social and political things because that is my anxiety," he said.
He also received advice from MUI to continue to improve his work. He is committed to creating works that can entertain as many people as possible while considering their feelings.
This experience has actually become a lesson for him to be a better artist in the future.
