JAKARTA - Former child singer Iyut Bing Slamet (52) regrets his actions because he has been caught in drug cases twice. Iyut realized that he had gone the wrong way by becoming a drug user.

"I am not a hypocrite, indeed I am a user, I have indeed gone the wrong way," Iyut told the South Jakarta Metro Police Headquarters, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, December 8.

Iyut admitted that he deeply regretted his actions. He apologized to his family, older siblings, and even his parents who had passed away.

According to Iyut, the second time he was caught in drugs, he truly regretted and committed himself to no longer being a user.

"I really regret this, because this is not the first time for me, I am not hypocritical and this is the second time," said Iyut.

This woman whose full name is Ratna Fairuz Albar said that the second time being caught in drugs was not an easy thing, but she was grateful to those who had handled her case.

Iyut thanked the Head of the Narcotics Unit of the South Jakarta Metro Police who had helped him in handling the case. Including the Head of BNNK who has recommended himself to undergo rehabilitation based on the results of his assessment.

The younger brother of actor Adi Bing Slamet also told that the journey of life as a user is to take someone to three places, namely, a mental hospital because drugs damage nerves, to prison because there is a law that regulates it, or to a grave because many users have overdosed.

"To the artist, I don't think everyone is hypocritical to have tried (drugs), but it's better not to because at this time I really really regret, really regret it," said Iyut.

Previously, the City National Narcotics Agency (BNNK) of South Jakarta had recommended Iyut Bing Slamet to undergo rehabilitation, because he was declared a user in the light category.

This recommendation was issued after Iyut underwent an assessment at the South Jakarta BNNK on Monday, December 7 yesterday.

Since his arrest on December 3, 2020, Iyut Bing Slamet's emotional condition has improved. When he gave a statement to the media crew, Iyut was more refreshed and cheerful.

Iyut Bing Slamet was arrested by the South Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Detective Unit on Thursday, December 3 at his home in Kramat Sentiong, Johar Baru, Central Jakarta.

At the location, the officers found evidence of a set of methamphetamine suction devices, two gas matches and a clear plastic clip used by narcotics (which IBS admitted was 0.7 grams).

After a urine test was carried out at the police station, the results were IBS positive for metafetamine and from the secured evidence.
