illing two birds with one stone was what Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) chairman Rosan P. Roslani had in mind when hosting an open house event at his residence in Kemang, South Jakarta, on Monday afternoon.
As he was welcoming guests, Rosan said he initially intended to throw a celebration party for his 10-year-old son, Razan Roslani, who just underwent a circumcision.
"Actually, this open house event was intended as a celebration of my son's circumcision, but I thought I might as well throw the event to celebrate the end of the Ramadhan month," he said.
It is common for Indonesian parents to celebrate a circumcision, which marks an important step forward in a boy’s adolescence.
Guests at the open house laughed as the master of ceremony slipped and accidentally invited them to “congratulate the bride” instead of congratulating the parents.
Among the invited guests were prominent officials and figures, such as Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung, Jakarta deputy governor-elect Sandiaga Uno, National Mandate Party’s (PAN) Jakarta branch chairman Eko Hendro Purnomo, businessman Aburizal Bakrie and son Anindya Bakrie, and former lawmaker Eko Patrio.
Roslan also invited several representatives of various embassies as well as celebrities.
The open house started at 3 p.m. and is scheduled to end at 6 p.m. (dea/tas)
