hile most Indonesians are using the long Idul Fitri holidays to return to their respective hometowns, some financial service industry bosses are choosing to stay in Jakarta instead.
Outgoing Financial Services Authority (OJK) chairman Muliaman Darmansyah Hadad said that he would just be roaming around Jakarta, visiting family and friends during the holidays.
Muliaman was born and raised in Bekasi, West Java. "I already visited my family in Bekasi. You can call it 'out of town' if you want," he said during an open house at his official residence in South Jakarta on Monday.
Meanwhile, Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) executive director Fauzi Ichsan said that he would spend this holiday with family in Jakarta to make up for the little time he spent with his children on workdays.
"Our family mostly resides in Jakarta and me, as the younger generation, I have to visit my seniors in the Financial System Stability Committee [KSSK]," Fauzi said, referring to a team consisting of the Finance Ministry, Bank Indonesia (BI), the OJK and LPS that oversees the finance sector.
On the first day of Idul Fitri on Sunday, Fauzi visited open houses at the State Palace and at Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati's official residence.
On Monday, after paying a visit to Muliaman, he planned on visiting Coordinating Economic Minister Darmin Nasution and LPS chairman Halim Alamsyah. (tas)
