GM menyatakan "tidak percaya bahwa Prabowo berada di belakang kerusuhan Mei 98", jika ada yang menyatakan demikian hal itu, kata GM, "adalah bohong"" -Wijaya Herlambang

This is my contribution to an album of music and poetry called "Tanah Borneo" (Borneo Land), an album dedicated to the struggle against forest loggings in Borneo. The album was released on February 2013 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I read my poem called "Banyak Orang Menebang Hutan" (Many People Cutting Trees) with Dayak music accompaniment.
