Even though it’s still a few years away, preparations have already begun to be made by Bekti and Dila. Recently, they even spent two weeks in the Land of Kangaroos to survey schools and the environment.

"Yes, we spent two weeks in Aussie and we have seen schools, gathered information about that, and we are still collecting money for the children's school; that’s the best for the kids. Wherever we get the fortune, if it’s in Aussie, that’s fine, if it’s in Indonesia, that’s fine too," she explained.

This big decision certainly requires considerable sacrifice, especially regarding his career that he has built for decades in Indonesia. With a heavy heart, he admitted he must be ready to leave the entertainment world that has made his name.

Even so, he still hopes that his skills as an entertainer can be utilized if there is an opportunity. The man known for his humor is even ready to accept job offers as an MC if someone is willing to cover his ticket home to Indonesia.

"But if, for example, there I can still use my skills as an entertainer, like if my fellow Indonesians want to use me as an MC at their event, that's fine too. If in Indonesia they also want to use me as an MC, then if they want to pay for my ticket, let's go," he concluded.
