His grandfather from his father's side, Kwee Hong Sing, was also a footballer who played for Persija Jakarta and also the Indonesian national football team in the 1950s.[1] Born as a German national, Kurniawan decided to obtain an Indonesian passport after Football Association of Indonesia offered him to play for the national team.
