Rumors upset Roy Marten<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Rumors can really make one upset. That's what
\nhappened to popular television miniseries actor Roy Marten, who
\nwas rumored as having been arrested as a drug dealer.<\/p>\n
"I refuse to be accused as a drug dealer without evidence, but
\nI know who is the real drug dealer among actors and actresses,"
\nthe 47-year-old actor told Antara after a discussion on AIDS\/HIV
\nprevention in Tangerang, on Jakarta's outskirts.<\/p>\n
Star of the popular TV series Dewi Fortuna said he knew those
\nactors and actresses who distributed or used drugs but did not
\nfeel it necessary to expose them since he considered it was
\nunethical.<\/p>\n
He did not deny that some actresses and actors were drug
\nusers, but regretted that some people only looked at their
\nnegative sides and ignored their positive ones, such as taking
\npart in regular religious activities.<\/p>\n
In his case, he was planning to do something positive: taking
\npart in a business opportunity by running a restaurant in Hong
\nKong. Instead, he was accused of being arrested as a drug dealer
\nwhile he was in the former British colony.<\/p>\n
He said that he was not arrested at all. "I went to open a
\nrestaurant but ended up accused as a drug dealer. The rumor must
\nhave been be spread by those who don't like me," he said.<\/p>",
