Umar Patek, a former member of Jemaah Islamiyah and convicted bomb maker involved in the 2002 Bali bombings, claims he has changed after his release from prison. He recently launched his coffee business, Ramu, in Surabaya, promoting a spiced coffee blend based on his mother's recipe. Patek emphasizes his desire to help deradicalize terrorists and has found support from local businessman David Andreasmita. Their partnership symbolizes a bridge between his violent past and a hopeful future of peace and reintegration into society.
Patek emphasizes his transformation: "I don't want to go back to the past... I'm not making bombs any more I'm making coffee."
His new approach aims to promote peace: "This initiative is part of my mission to help deradicalize terrorists."
