Tribun Timur, a newspaper published in Makassar, reported on Sunday that around 10,000 people, including most of cabinet members and Indonesia’s richests attended the party. Four of them were identified of flew in with private jets. They were Putera Sampoerna, Tommy Winata, Nirwan Bakrie, and Surya Paloh. But others believe other tycoons have chartered several private jet as well due to limited seats in the regular flight services.
But Nirwan Bakrie denied. “I didn’t attend the wedding reception party, because I just arrived today in Indonesia,” he told yosefardi.com through text messages.
Probably another Bakries!
The newspaper, closely linked to Kalla family, reported the congratulation flowers board sent by various business partners, colleagus, and state officers including President SBY’s were half kilometers long.
The organizer brought in tons of decoration materials from Jakarta using 10 containers. Newspapers described the party as the largest and most extravagant event ever done in Makassar.
Still, the wedding analysts believe the cost might still below Alex & Melinda Tedja son’s wedding few months ago in Surabaya, East Java.
Soon, in Jakarta, there will be a wedding between the giants when the granddaughter of Eka Tjipta Widjaja (Sinar Mas) say I do to the grandson of William Soeryadjaja (former owner of Astra Group).
“Judith Soeryadjaya’s son will marry daughter of Sukmawati Widjaja,” people close to the families said.
