JAKARTA - Like ketiban pulung, GRA Putri Agung Suniwati or Menur was targeted for questioning when Sukmawati Soekarnoputri converted to Hinduism. By completing the Sudhi Wadani ceremony, October 26, Sukmawati officially embraced Hinduism.

As the second child of Sukmawati, Menur admitted that he was surprised by his mother's decision. Even so, he did not overreact.

"Well, I'm a bit surprised, I'm a little surprised. In a sense, I'm sure that I mean to change religion? Is it fixed or sure? But he said yes, it's solid, sure. , October 26.

Aware as a fellow adult human, Menur provides support for his mother's choice. "Not asking whether you agree or disagree, maybe asking for opinions, maybe to Paundra too. Because for me it's the belief of each individual, the right of every human being. Because belief is a principle. And you can't force it either," he said.

Many assume that Menur doesn't care about his mother's activities. Compared to Paundra and Putra, Menur is barely visible in Sukmawati's uploads on social media. Netizens think they are not close to each other so they don't care.

"Maybe if you look out there it doesn't look close, it seems that you rarely see each other, you rarely get together. Maybe it's more like Paundra, who may be more frequent. Actually, I don't. I'm all close, my name is mom," he said.

The only daughter of Sukmawati and Mangkunegara IX received many messages and questions about her mother's decision to change religion. Because of that, Menur finally spoke.

"Mama's conversion became a trending topic and yesterday's news went viral. From WA, DM of all kinds, from Facebook too. It's okay, it's everyone's right, different perceptions are normal," he explained.

Like Soekarno's message as the founder of the State of Indonesia who upholds differences in unity, Menur provides support for his mother.

"Support is for sure, we live in tolerance, meaning Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, and the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia Pancasila, we must tolerate each other. For me, what makes Mama happy, happy, we are also happy and happy," he said.

"We are taught to respect each other, especially those of different religions, different beliefs, we must respect each other, respect that. There is no problem, it's normal. Because we don't see that, I am his daughter, he (Sukmawati Soekarnoputri) my biological mother," he continued.

Not wanting to clash with his abandoned religion and his mother's new beliefs, Menur wisely invited all parties to return to tolerance. Differences in beliefs are not a problem. Because according to him any religion is good, it all depends on the followers. That thought made Paundra's sister sincere.

"Sincerely, I never had a problem with it, because yes, whatever the choice, whatever the belief, yes we must support him as a child. Whatever makes him happy, happy, we have to support it. We are happy too, right, when our mother is happy, happy happy," he said.

Menur proves his closeness to his mother by showing their excellent communication. "Incidentally, today is the 26th of my mother's birthday, Sukmawati's mother. Had contact, this morning, happy birthday directly via WA," he said.

Not only a beautiful mother who always supports her, Sukmawati is a source of inspiration for Menur. Sukmawati's messages about life became a guide for Menur.

"She is an extraordinary woman, her spirit continues to never give up, she is persistent, meaning that she must be able to do what she wants to achieve. Her spirit is indeed extraordinary.

"So the woman must be independent, must be able to stand on her own feet. Indeed, we still need the help of people for sure. But the important thing is that we stand on our own feet. Be independent, women must be independent," he said.

Being an inspirational figure, that's what made him not want to bother responding to negative comments from netizens on Sukmawati's decision to convert to Hinduism.

"Honestly, for that, I rarely respond to comments like that, yes, read, but to make it serious, what kind of response is there, just read the comments, just read them, don't take it to heart. I mean, what kind of insults are so negative, just like this. Don't ignore it," he said.

Whatever her mother's choice, Menur will still respect her. Because for him, heaven remains under the feet of the mother.

"Yes, we must, right, our heaven is in the mother, so we must respect whatever it is, we must love, love, respect, respect. Don't be a disobedient child, because as a child of heaven we are in the mother," he said.

As a budding YouTuber, Menur wants netizens to know how close they are to his work. He harbored a desire to have a chat with Sukmawati for Menur Soekarno's YouTube channel.

"Yes, venting is usually not very specific, normally it is mother and child, but more to work," he said.

As an independent woman, Menur admits that it is difficult to express her emotions openly. Therefore, he did not promise much about his dream.

"What year was it 2000 when you wanted to get married. The last time you cried in your mother's arms? Yes. Yes, how about a mother's hug, it's more comfortable, it's warm. If the concept of a storytelling menu is more global, it's universal, so it's not fixed on one or two themes. "That's all, the archipelago, I mean maybe culinary, podcasts, vlogs, all kinds of things, politics maybe, traveling, God willing," explained Sukmawati Soekarnoputri's only female daughter.
