ANNA VANESSA HAOTANTO, PARTNER AT ABZD CAPITAL AND HER FATHER HABTANTO
What are your favourite memories of each other?
Anna: Him cooking for me. I’m very petty, so I’m always asking him to cook the dishes that I want [laughs]. He makes a fantastic Indonesian sambal.
Habtanto: My favourite memory is of her always trying to win every game against me!
What have you learnt from each other?
Anna: I have learnt to be very patient with people, and especially with those I love. My dad is extremely patient and a very kind man. These qualities are the biggest things I’ve learnt from him.
Habtanto: I think…
Anna: You’ve never learnt anything from me [laughs].
Habtanto: That she is a very determined woman. Whatever she sets out to do, she’ll get it done, no matter what it is.
What is the one thing that has you the proudest of each other?
Anna: Since young, my dad has always believed in me – more than I even believed in myself. This gave me a lot of confidence. I’m very proud that he has so much trust in me even though I don’t trust myself a lot of the time.
Habtanto: She’s becoming a fine lady. She has achieved a lot and become what she wants to be. That she’s happy and owns what she does makes me proud. I think she’s already done what she’s supposed to in this life. She’s a lot better than me.
Anna, what do you want to say to your dad this Father’s Day?
Happy Father’s Day. Thank you for loving me and teaching me how to love.
