JAKARTA - Singer Sarwendah, accompanied by her lawyer, Chris Sam Siwu, attended the first hearing of the child custody lawsuit at the South Jakarta District Court (PN). The presence of the former Cherrybelle member was seen as a form of compliance and respect for the ongoing legal process.
"Today is the first trial, yes. The judge also tested the presence of our client, Ms. Sarwendah, as a good faith, yes, respecting this trial process so that our client is present," said Chris Sam Siwu in front of the media, Wednesday, July 15.
Chris explained that the agenda of this first hearing is still dealing with administrative issues for both parties.
"The first thing was to convey all the identities of the plaintiff and the defendant, then appoint the mediator judge," explained the lawyer.
The next step, the court will seek peace through mediation.
"So the next trial will be mediation by the mediator judge who has been appointed by the court, yes," said Chris.
On this occasion, Chris also asked for moral support from the wider community so that this process would bear the best results.
"There, please pray, please pray from all colleagues, from all communities that there can be peace. Because wherever we are looking after is the interests of children," he said.
Sarwendah's party emphasized that it did not want any commotion outside the courtroom that could complicate the atmosphere.
"Nothing is perfect, and the court is the most appropriate place for each of us to convey all the things we think are good, yes," said Chris.
He also hopes that there will be no more backbiting or arguments between Sarwendah and Ruben Onsu in front of the public.
"So we no longer need to exchange pantun in the media to convey who is the most correct, there is already his territory, namely the South Jakarta District Court," he added.
Chris also touched on the importance of refraining from commenting on the virtual world in order to maintain the psychological condition of the family.
"So we respect, we refrain from making judgments on social media. We avoid leading public opinion, yes. Just let this process run well for the children," he added.
Furthermore, he emphasized that this case is no longer a matter of personal ego between his client and the plaintiff represented by Minola Sebayang.
"The point is that this is not for the benefit of anyone, not for our client, not for client Bang Minola, but for the children, yes," Chris said.
