Fame adds to drug problem

A Jakarta court sent him to jail for five months for using shabu-shabu, a local term for the drug crystal methamphetamine. That was eight years ago.

'I've paid a high price,' said Doyok, who at 53 now tries to make both ends meet by lecturing on the perils of drug use instead of telling jokes.
