JAKARTA - Sodiq Rifa'i, also known as Cak Sodiq New Monata, apologized for making many video clips entitled Rumini Bidadari Semeru. Cak Sodiq clarified the making of the video clip after the eruption of Mount Semeru.

"I apologize for my negligence in producing my work, this video is 100 percent not for personal gain or taking advantage of the moment, but I really want to convey my work which was inspired by the late Rumini," said Cak Sodiq New Monata in an Instagram account quoted on Sunday, December 19.
