JAKARTA - Vhicky Tri Prasetyo, the songwriter of Rungkad, answered netizens who questioned whether they were asked for permission when their song was performed at the State Palace.

Vhicky Prasetyo said that the event organizers at the State Palace actually gave song royalties. A similar incident also occurred at other state events.

"Alhamdulillah, when the song RUNGKAD was performed at the Palace, I got the rights that were very appropriate from the event organizers at the State Palace," said Vhicky Prasetyo in his statement on Instagram, Tuesday, October 17.

"And also some big events like the AIS Summit in Bali yesterday I also received royalties," he continued.

Vhicky was clearly pleased with the appreciation given by the organizers when his songs were performed.

He also asked other musicians to give the same appreciation when performing songs created by others.

"I am very grateful to the event organizers who asked for permission to perform songs and give very good appreciation. Thank you to all parties, especially the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Mr. Jokowi, who has given my appreciation," he said.

"Hopefully fellow musicians will also be moved to respect songwriters in Indonesia," he added.
