1.Judul : B.J. Habibie

Sumber : Britannica

B.J. Habibie, in full Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie, (born June 25, 1936,
Parepare, Indonesia—died September 11, 2019, Jakarta),
Indonesian aircraft engineer and politician who was president of
Indonesia (1998–99) and a leader in the country’s technological and
economic development in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Brilliant in science and mathematics from childhood, Habibie

received his postsecondary education at the Bandung Institute of
Technology in Bandung, Indonesia, and furthered his studies at the
Institute of Technology of North Rhine–Westphalia in Aachen, West
Germany. After graduating in 1960, he remained in West Germany
as an aeronautics researcher and production supervisor.

Suharto took power as Indonesia’s second president in 1966, and in

1974 he asked Habibie—whom he had known for 25 years—to
return to the country to help build advanced industries. Suharto
assured him that he could do whatever was needed to accomplish
that goal. Initially assigned to the state oil company, Pertamina,
Habibie became a government adviser and chief of a new
aerospace company in 1976. Two years later he became research
minister and head of the Agency for Technology Evaluation and
Application. In these roles he oversaw a number of ventures
involving the production and transportation of heavy machinery,
steel, electronics and telecommunications equipment, and arms
and ammunition.

Habibie believed his enterprises ultimately would spawn high-tech

ventures in the private sector and allow the country to climb the
technology ladder. In 1993 he unveiled the first Indonesian-
developed plane, which he helped design, and in the following year
he launched a plan to refurbish more than three dozen vessels
bought from the former East German navy at his initiative. The
Finance Ministry balked at the cost of the latter endeavour, while
the armed forces thought that its turf had been violated.
Nevertheless, Habibie got more than $400 million for refurbishing.

Meanwhile, in 1990 Habibie was appointed head of the Indonesian

Muslim Intellectuals Association, and during the 1993 central-board
elections of the country’s ruling party, Golkar, Habibie helped the
children and allies of President Suharto rise to top positions, easing
out long-standing military-backed power brokers. By the late 1990s
Habibie was viewed as one of several possible successors to the
aging Suharto.

In March 1998 Suharto appointed Habibie to the vice presidency,

and two months later, in the wake of large-scale violence in
Jakarta, Suharto announced his resignation. Thrust unexpectedly
into the country’s top position, Habibie immediately began to
implement major reforms. He appointed a new cabinet; fired
Suharto’s eldest daughter as social affairs minister as well as his
longtime friend as trade and industry minister; named a committee
to draft less-restrictive political laws; allowed a free press;
arranged for free parliamentary and presidential elections the
following year; and agreed to presidential term limits (two five-
year terms). He also granted amnesty to more than 100 political
prisoners.

In 1999 Habibie announced that East Timor, a former Portuguese

colony that had been invaded by Indonesia in 1975, could choose
between special autonomy and independence; the territory chose
independence. Indonesia held free general elections (the first since
1955) in June, as promised. Later that year Habibie ran for
president, but he withdrew his candidacy shortly before the
October election, which was won by Abdurrahman Wahid. After
Wahid took office, Habibie essentially stepped out of politics,
although in 2000 he established the Habibie Center, a political
research institute.
