"Yes, so my dad is warm, very warm, a lot of parenting examples that I take from my dad. His humor at home, the warmth is always created," he recalled.

Although his father lived modestly, Mona revealed that family happiness was always a priority for Albert. Even during economically difficult times, her father still tried to create enjoyable moments with the family.

"Yes, weekends he always takes the kids out. Sometimes I know my dad might not have much money but at least in the car driving around Jakarta and then coming home, but my dad always makes his family happy. That's what I emulate," said Mona.
