Veronica Tan or Veronica Lim[note 1] (Chinese: 林雪莉; pinyin: Lín Xuělì, Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lîm Soat-lī, born 4 December 1977) is an Indonesian politician and entrepreneur who is currently serving as the Deputy Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection of Indonesia.[1]
She previously served as the chairperson of the Indonesian Cancer Foundation (YKI) DKI Jakarta branch[2] and head of the Family Empowerment and Welfare Movement Team (TP-PKK) of DKI Jakarta.[1]
As an entrepreneur, she founded a beef importing company and also one of the founders of a home care service provider.[1][3]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]After graduating from high school, she moved to Jakarta and majored in architecture at Pelita Harapan University.[4] She met Basuki Tjahaja Purnama at a church and married him on 6 September 1997, at the age of 19.[5] The couple had three children, Nicolas Sean, Nathania and Daud Albeneer.[6][7]
She accompanied Basuki when he was inaugurated as Governor of Jakarta.[8]
When Basuki was detained for blasphemy, she read a letter written by Basuki to his supporters.[9]
On 5 January 2018, Basuki reportedly filed for divorce from Veronica.[10]
A court granted Basuki's petition for divorce in early April 2018, and gave him custody of the couple's two younger children. Their first child, Nicholas Sean Purnama, was entitled to determine his own custody status due to being of age.[11]
Notes
[edit | edit source]- ^ Tan, her mother's surname, is used on official documents instead of Lim, her father's surname, because her parents did not register their marriage to the government resulting in lack of marriage certificate
