He also claimed to be bored constantly feeling bereaved. His feelings have been mixed ranging from angry, sad, even more than sad.

"Yes it's hard, emotion, lust, heat, but yes it they have to decide. Dare not decide that? Because the grudge if followed is not finished. Until when? Yes the point is, the sense of peace wants to fight it's human, yes it's stopped," he further said.

Iwan Fals also warned that Indonesia is at risk of war in the South China Sea. "but some say the war is now not dar der dor, bang, but the war in brainwashing, in the mass media, and all sorts," he said.
