" Long before I spoke in the media, I had already said to you (Reni) several times that I had always consistently wanted to learn, wanted to know (the Islamic religion). The question of whether or not (converting to Islam), in my opinion, is not for public consumption at this time and I'm not looking for money from there ," said doctor Richard Lee, quoted from the TikTok account @drichardlee_media, Wednesday (26/6).
However, he emphasized that he had no intention of exploiting this issue to make money. It was stated that his journey to study Islam was not for the sake of fame or making money.
" Many people said, 'Wow, Doctor Richard is looking for money, he's looking for attention, he's looking for prestige from here (the issue of converting to Islam).' "There are definitely many people who want to come to see it, but that's not my goal ," he explained.
However, this 38 year old man does not rule out the possibility that one day he will open up about religion. This is all for the sake of inspiring many people regarding the importance of religious tolerance.
