Luxury Bag Collection Since 2003, Ayunsri Harahap Claims To Be Often SYL Scolded: What Vegetables Do You Want To Make?

Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) for the 2019-2023 period, Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL) (DOK ANTARA)

JAKARTA - Syahrul Yasin Limpo's wife or SYL, Ayunsri Harahap, said that her husband often scolded her when he collected luxury bags. In fact, insinuated as if the bag could be eaten like a vegetable. The confession began when Ayun said that she had started collecting bags since 2003. In fact, it is used as a buying and selling business. "I started to like 2003 and my collection is 2003. When I complete the letter, I sell it sometimes. I buy it again but rarely new," Ayun said during a trial at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court, Wednesday, May 29. Hearing this testimony, SYL's legal adviser, Djamaludin Koedoeboen then questioned whether or not his client had ever bought a luxury bag for Ayun while serving as Minister of Agriculture. Then, Ayun Sri actually gave a striking answer about the purchase of the bag. "During the Minister in office, have you ever bought or bought a bag?" asked Koedoeboen. "No, the Minister likes to be angry. He can no longer say 'what do you want to make vegetables?'," Ayun replied while getting angry from SYL. Koedoeboen then questioned when Ayun was carrying a luxury bag again. SYL's wife said it was around 2015. Because, there is a direction from the first lady to wear local products. "Since when did you not bring a bag again?", said SYL's lawyer.

"Since 2015, yes. I have collected it myself once in a while, just take one and then there is an instruction that our first lady must increase the marketing of MSMEs. So it is forbidden at all there are outside goods or not Indonesian brands. Therefore, I have kept it for a long time," said Ayun.
