He also claimed to have met his wife during his S2 college at Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta. “Including I open what I am, I went to school when I took my S2 in Gadjah Mada, I was looking for a woman, my soul mate, my wife. I really searched for a wife, found a friend at school,” he said. In addition to the learning forums, the elderly school is expected to be a space for social interaction, so that the elderly do not feel lonely or neglected. “I am sure that the spaces who used to be many elderly people who felt alone were not cared for by the family, were too busy, their families no longer paid attention. You now have room with the elderly in Jakarta, let alone learn. In my opinion, it is extraordinary, extraordinary,” he concluded. (Rdp/rfs)
