In this issue

It was late September, five years ago that we unveiled ForbesLife Indonesia’s first issue at the Regent Bali Hotel (Now Fairmont Sanur Beach Bali Hotel). Witnessed by the selected number of VIPs and members of the Lamborghini Club Indonesia, as the launch event was tied up with the club’s driving event in Bali. With Millie Stephanie our president director, Justin Doebele our chief editorial advisor at that time, and I unveiled the first cover, featuring Irwan D Mussry, one of the most prominent businessmen in the luxury lifestyle landscape. Fast forward it has been such an amazing journey since the start of the magazine, to be a witness of how the luxury lifestyle scene in Indonesia has grown and evolved in the last five years.
