Brilio.net - Tengku Firmansyah and Cindy Fatikasari decided to move to Canada. They are willing to give up their careers in the entertainment world which they have had for more than 20 years. They moved to Canada with their two children.
Not without reason, this couple, who have been married for 25 years, chose to move to Canada for the sake of their children's education. Both of them support the education of Tengku Omar Atalla and Tengku Kianu Zimraan who are studying there. They did not allow their two children to wander alone because they felt responsible for guiding them.
"If the children have received permission to stay, it will take a long time because we only registered them. But we feel we have a responsibility as parents, especially since the son will later become a priest in the family, so we feel we have to stay accompany him so that his faith and morals remain on track," explained Firmansyah, quoted from Liputan6 on Thursday (11/7).
Previously, Cindy herself had never thought about applying for permanent residency. However, their move on April 16 was well prepared, including obtaining permission to settle in Canada. They have even been preparing everything since 3 years ago.

"So actually we applied for permanent residence 3 years ago. Long before our eldest got married," explained Cindy.
Even though they have to leave the Indonesian entertainment world that made their name famous, apparently it doesn't matter. They are willing to take on other jobs as long as it is halal. In fact, Firmansyah and Cindy said they had no problem doing anything, including odd jobs and being a dishwasher.
Recently, Tengku Firmansyah uploaded a portrait of himself when he finished work. In the photo, the 46 year old man is wearing shorts with a gray t-shirt.
