Tatler Indonesia - February 2022

Family Matters
As the proverb goes, “blood is thicker than water”, this month we explore the meaning behind familial bonds and how they help create who we are today. In all its shapes and forms, the nuclear family usually plays the central role in someone’s life, often extending beyond the home area into the business realm to a varying degree of success. In the case of Fitria Yusuf, as she shared with us in the cover story, continuing her father’s work at Citra Marga Nusaphala Persada is now part of her legacy. Fitria also takes on many of his charity works and runs other businesses with her brother—all with great success and flourish.
One might argue that working too closely with your family would only bring trouble as boundaries blur and differences collide. Her secret? Working through differences and turning them into ways to support instead of points of conflict—plus, leave the business talk off the dinner table. Good communication skills might be reasonable for starters, so we also talked to six pairs of mums and daughters to further explore their ways. In light of the Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day celebrations, their stories in My Daugther, My Love would bring you much joy and warmth.
Of course, the communities around us also play a sizeable role in how we live our life. As the Tatler Indonesia family extends into many of society’s top circles, as always, each month, we present a selection of noteworthy events for your enjoyment. From weddings to birthdays and many more milestones in between, may these memories help to strengthen our bonds with beloved family and friends. Noting that the pandemic is still much present around us, despite the fewer and smaller gatherings we do, I hope that “absence and distance make the heart grow fonder”.
Happy reading!!
