Professor Dr. Ir BJ Habibie: Freedom Man as well as Father of Indonesian Democracy
by Zairil Khir Johari, Executive Director, Penang Institute (received by e-mail)*
The diminutive elderly as well as dignified male waved his arms energetically as he explained his favourite recipe."After neutralising a duck with ginger, we steam it to prepare a meat. At a same time, we feverishness up a oil. And then," he pauses for effect, "Just when a oil is hot enough, we send a duck in to thermal shock."
Habibie a engineer-cook smiled satisfyingly. His use of technical jargon in describing a recipe was specially endearing of a man. "Voila! And which is how you prepare a best duck in a world golden upon a outside, white upon a inside."
I was during a loss for words. Had we not well known any better, we would never have figured this humble, passionate as well as grandfatherly male to be a former Head of State to nearly a entertain of a billion people in a republic with a unapproachable enlightenment as well as history.
One is rught away put during ease in a participation of BJ Habibie, third President of a Republic of Indonesia. Ever ready to solace his surrounding company with a tale or two, Habibie's biggest strength is maybe his capability to seamlessly weave together his multiple facets scientist, technocrat, statesman as well as now, very reputable as well as dignified elder statesman.
The former President was in town to broach a speech during a Penang Institute's invitation, during which he talked of aeroplanes (his honour as well as happiness a N-250 turboprop), pluralism (a celebrated concept in Indonesia though a tainted word in Malaysia), love as well as apply oneself (for country, enlightenment as well as community), as well as what he thought was a biggest present which a Chinese ga! ve to In donesia a Islamic religion (long prior to a Arabs came, we were told).
However, no domestic leader is without his detractors, even a single as warm as Habibie. we had approaching his visit to bleed a little critique as well as even a peculiar disparagement, though we was definitely repelled by what can usually be described as a vengeful, intemperate as well as grossly personal attack by former Malaysian Information Minister Tan Sri Zainudin Maidin in his mainstay in a inhabitant every day upon Indonesia's a a single preferred son.
Without mincing his words, Zainudin marked down Habibie a "dog of imperialism" in a severe square which additionally likened a former President to a span of "scissors in Suharto's fold", as well as a "traitor to a Indonesian race."
Habibie, he opined, is to censure for a "political chaos" which has enveloped a nation upon a count of a fact which Indonesians have been right away "split" in to 48 domestic parties. The sarcasm of Zainudin's arguments is not even worth indicating out. Exactly what is wrong in carrying 48 domestic parties in a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural nation of 240 million people separated in to 33 provinces spread opposite 17,508 islands? Is leisure of association not an expression of approved rights?
I suspect it would be asking as well most to expect an ideologue as well as outspoken sycophant from a very party which frowns upon leisure of assembly as well as of speech to learn a elemental precepts of democracy.
In his article, Zainudin additionally cynically attributed Habibie's reduced reign in bureau (one year as well as five months) to his decision to allow a referendum for self-rule in East Timor, presumably underneath a weight of Western pressure. In alternative words, is Zainudin suggesting which Habibie is a traitor as well as imperialist stooge for giving a long-oppressed people a right of self deter
By a same token, would Zainudin additionally indicate which Palestine should not be allowed self-rule? ! Or which Malaysia should not have been granted independence because it would have been treacherous to a British monarchy to do so?
The fact is which a East Timor referendum stays a single of Habibie's proudest achievements. To his mind, he had righted a wrong. Historically, East Timor was not even a Dutch colony (it was underneath Portuguese control) as well as should not have been part of Indonesia. Hence, to lay claim to a land was, in Habibie's own words, same to colonising them.
Zainudin, though, is scold upon a single point. Democratisation as well as decentralisation have been in truth Habibie's biggest legacies. After all, it was underneath his ephemeral presidency which sweeping reforms were made, together with a lifting of restrictions upon a formation of domestic parties, a unconditional release of domestic detainees, a provisions for press leisure as well as a setting of a two-term extent for a presidency. Even more significantly, it was additionally by his decree which a conditions "pribumi as well as "non-pribumi" were abolished from all official circumstances.
One can usually consternation whether Malaysia would ever see such transformational reforms. Having said that, it is additionally true which no a single is perfect. Certainly, it is worth noting which Habibie himself had been a party to Suharto's iron-fisted order for over three decades, even if it was in a mostly technocratic role.
One can additionally say which he did not go distant sufficient as President, though deliberation which he had come in to bureau during a most tumultuous time, with an manage to buy in free-fall, riots in a streets as well as a rebel troops forward upon him, it is not difficult to imagine which a obtuse male would have yielded. But not Habibie.
For when a impulse of history was thrust upon him, he did not disappoint his people. And which is a measure of a man. Let him be remembered as a devout Muslim as well as egghead who championed freedom.
Zainudin, upon a alterna! tive han d, has been suggested to be of a completely opposite pedigree. His bequest will perpetually be cemented by this carnal attempt during cheap propaganda. Nevertheless, we daresay he has committed domestic hara-kiri, for not usually has UMNO mislaid a await of assuage as well as sensible Malaysians, Zainuddin's ultimate faux pas may have ensured which they will additionally remove a await of their phantom voters.

MCA blasted for spin on 'land for MBship' fracas
"MCA Youth cabinet member Chai Kim Sen is advised to first as well as foremost find out a truth rather than relying upon hearsay prior to rising a conflict upon DAP Perak with a allegation of 'land in exchange of MBship'.
"If Chai is uncertain about a history as well as background of a appointment of a (Perak) MB, he is to be reminded right away which a three parties in Pakatan had submitted a single nomination each for a MBship...
"His stately highness a sultan of Perak had selected from between them, Mohd Nizar to be a MB. Is Chai as well as MCA right away questioning a prerogative as well as preference of a sultan?" pronounced DAP Canning assemblyperson Wong Kah Woh in a matter today.
Wong (right) additionally took a swipe at Chai, pointing out how a latter managed to cite Slim Umno rep's supposed expose during a state sitting, display documents allegedly proof Ngeh's purported wrongdoings when a MCA Youth cabinet member was not benefaction at a sitting.
"The document shown by a Umno representatives was in fact a Sale of Shares Agreement which was dated 2012, directly proof which a total land transaction was an open marketplace transaction with proper consideration...
"This is a slap upon B! N's own face though Chai has selected to provide it as something special for him," pronounced Wong.
The Canning rep additionally responded toChai's callfor Ngeh as well as his cousin, Taiping MP Nga Kor Ming, to acknowledgement their assets, saying, "The subject right away rests upon a BN ruling state government, whether or not they dare to acknowledgement their assets given they have been in a office now?
"Or would they again used a excuse 'afraid of personal safety' as an excuse not to do so?" quipped Wong.
Meanwhile, MCA has a single after another to harp upon a emanate where Ngeh as well as Nga had, with a organisation of other investors,bought overthe association Upayapadu Plantation Sdn Bhd this year, prolonged after a emanate of Nizar's MBship in 2008 had been settled.
However, Kelantan MCA Youth arch Gan Han Chuan recycled inaccurate reports in Umno-linkedBerita Harianthat a forest was being logged, labelling DAP as hypocrites over a latter's environmental stand.

DeepakgateMusings upon a Law as well as a Lawyerly
by Terence Netto@http://www.malaysiakini.com
COMMENT You can damn with faint praise; we can also achieve a same with an aria of it. An e.g. of a initial was when George Bernard Shaw extended two tickets to a opening night of a single of his plays to Winston Churchill. "One for we as well as another for a friend, if we have one," jibed a playwright.
Britain's wartime personality volleyed back: He pronounced he would similar to to attend a opening night's programme though central duties prevented him; however, he would be free to attend a second night's staging, "if there is one."
Private eye P Balasubramaniam's lawyer, Americk Singh Sidhu, laid it upon copiously when he praised fellow legal practitioner Cecil Abraham's firmness which he pronounced was a byword between lawyers in a latter's 40 years of use to a Malaysian Bar.
Americk (right) pronounced he could not conceive which someone of Abraham's vaunted status would aspect a drawing up of a false orthodox declaration such as runner trader Deepak Jaikishan had indicated was a box with Balasubramaniam's second SD which topsy-turvy a sensational avowals contained in his first.
Given a sobriety of a essence of his initial SD, elements of which strew light upon a 2006 attempted attempted murder of a Mongolian lady Altantuya Shaariibuu, there was no receiving a make a difference lightly.
Days have passed given Americk unquestionably vouched for Abraham's probity, though Abraham himself is clearly unperturbed by a brouh! aha, lan d his warn in a face of a accost of imprecations.
The chairperson of a single of a panels within a ambit of a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission interjected in a unfolding drama of a contradictory orthodox declarations as well as a in attendance issue of shortcoming for them by divulgence which Abraham had nothing to do with a MACC's preference to tighten a review of Balasubramaniam's conflicting declarations. Abraham (left) is a part of of a row tasked with reviewing a MACC's operational procedures.
Here was a box of weighty people rising to verbalise up for someone who apparently opts for a overpower which is not of a kind which purveyor of proverbial maxims, La Rochefoucauld, held was a symbol of a male who distrusts himself.
This overpower is presumably a choice of a single who seems vigilant upon tiptoeing by a horrifying thicket, aware or not of what a producer Dante pronounced about a hottest places in hell being indifferent for those who in times of good dignified predicament maintain their neutrality (read: silence).
The law is a charged field
Lawyers have been lerned to deal with formidable situations by finding both precedents as well as innovative useful procedures for traffic with them.
The deeper their believe of precedents, both inside as well as outward of a law, a likelier it is which their exertions would result in a protection of tellurian values similar to allowing a trusting to go free as well as punishing a guilty.But if it's usually a law they know as well as small else, they would soon find which a law is a charged margin where beliefs might be traduced by interests, as well as interests might be disguised as pri! nciples.
Knowing much law but, more importantly, a philosophic matrix from which emerged a Greco-Roman statues which formed a basement of English usual law, a famous American jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes made this regard upon contrasting dispositions people might move to a use of a profession:
"If we want to know a law as well as nothing else, we contingency demeanour during it as a bad man, who cares usually for a element consequences which such believe enables him to predict, not as a good one, who finds his reasons for conduct, either inside a law or outward of it, in a vaguer sanctions of conscience."
Troubling small twinge which "the vaguer sanctions of conscience."These valid no trouble during all to a warn Vernon Jordan, Bill Clinton's depraved chum whose recommendation was sought in a days when a latter was readying for a run for a US presidency.
According to a biography of Clinton by David Maraniss, Jordan, renowned civil rights advocate, proffered a simple recommendation when a grapevine began to sound with legends of a Arkansas governor's womanising as well as a discuss between Clinton's advisers revolved around either he should wait for for reporters to raise a make a difference or simply preempt them. Jordan's recommendation was, "Screw 'em! Don't discuss it 'em anything!"
Some years later, when another sex scandal occurred upon Clinton's watch during a White House (1992-2000), Jordan was purported to have told Monica Lewinsky, an intern suspected to have had an affair with a president: "They can't prove anything. Your answer is, 'It didn't happen. It wasn't ! me.' "At least, Jordan's inclination for rejection pertained to cases involving infidelity, not murder.
A attempted attempted murder many foul
But we know which for an reliable customary to hold, it contingency forbid lying in all circumstances, regardless of a bulk or miss of a dignified misdemeanour entailed. Whither a reliable customary when we have been faced with a overpower of peripheral players in a box of a attempted attempted murder many foul, as was Altantuya Shaariibuu's killing.
The overpower is lawyerly; it is not impugnable. In a end, it creates a point which law alone, no make a difference how comprehensive, cannot assure use of what is morally imperative.
Back in a 17th century, Hugo Grotius, a father of complicated law, quoted with capitulation a recommendation which a classical Greek playwright Euripides in 'The Trojan Woman' put in a mouth of Agamemnon addressing Pyrrhus: "What a law does not forbid then let shame forbid."
This warn retains a dignified worth. While a law as well as a practitioners have been intensely important for a life of civil society, they cannot be deliberate enough guarantees of tellurian decency.
The exemption Dr Samuel Johnson, a many quotable of writers after Shakespeare, made for his principle of not speaking ill of a male at a back of his back was well taken.On a single occasion, a virtuoso was scathing about a male who had only left his company though Johnson pronounced he believed which a male he was referring to was an attorney.

Namun ada pihak cuba menafikan kejayaan itu, dengan cuba memutarbelit isu tanah perkuburan Islam Kampung Boundry, Ayer Itam yang kononnya telah diceroboh oleh pemaju untuk projek perumahan.
Golongan berkenaan cuba membangkitkan api kebencian kaum serta agama dan cuba menuding jari kepada kerajan negeri.
Kerajaan negeri melalui Jabatan Hal Ehwal Agama Islam (JHEAIPP), Majlis Agama Islam (MAINPP), Jabatan Mufti, Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang (MPPP) dan beberapa pihak berkuasa telah mengadakan pertemuan dengan pihak Pemaju, Qaryah Masjid, JKKK dan waris pada 21 Disember lalu.
Difahamkan terdapat batu nisan lama telah 'hilang' dipercayai akibat tanah mendap dan ha! kisan.
Bagaimanapun, seorang waris mendakwa batu nisan keluarganya telah hilang, dan bercadang untuk menyelesaikannya melalui saluran perundangan, meskipun pemaju telah memohon maaf atas kesulitan yang berlaku serta bersedia menanggung tuntutan gantirugi daripada waris.
Dalam masa yang sama kerajaan negeri akan bertindak tegas kepada mana-mana pemaju dan kontraktor yang melanggari syarat pihak berkuasa terutama yang membabitkan kepentingan umat Islam, berkaitan tanah wakaf, kubur atau masjid.
Saya berkeyakinan isu berkenaan boleh diselesaikan secara baik melalui rundingan berhemah tanpa dipengaruhi oleh emosi keterlaluan dan termakan hasutan pihak tertentu yang berniat menangguk di air keruh bagi mensasikan isu tersebut.

May 13. History or fiction.
Yesterday we read the headlines froman online headlines portal. The wordsMay 13caught my eye. Yes which date does which to Malaysians of my generation. What caught my attention next was this statement by the conduct of Umno Youth, Khairy Jamaluddin. He was reported as saying...
"In history, it is already created what happened in this tragedy; everyone additionally knows who was responsible for it."
The questions which immediately jumped in to my simple mind were:-
a) Already written? By whom? Which version is the truth?
b) Everyone additionally knows who was responsible? Really? Who then?
This morning we trawled out this from somewhere upon the Internet. It is purportedly the minute created by Malaysia's 1st Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra in 1972, 3 years after the May 13, 1969 ! secular riots.
"It was transparent to me as well as the military which in the rarely charged domestic ambience after the military were forced to kill the Chinese domestic party workman upon May 4th, 1969, something was bound to happen to threaten law as well as sequence because of the rancour towards the Government by the KL Chinese upon the eve of the general election. This was reliable during this man's funeral upon the 9th May when the government faced the most hostile throng it had ever seen.Therefore, when the opposition parties practical for the military assent for the procession to celebrate their success in the results of the general election, we was austere against it because the military were convinced which this would lead to trouble.I sensitive Tun Razak about this as well as he seemed to agree. Now, without my knowledge as well as actually"behind my back," there were sure domestic leaders in tall positions who were operative to force me to step down as the PM. we do not wish to go in to details though if they had come to me as well as pronounced so we would gladly have late gracefully.Unfortunately, they were apparently scheming as well as trying to confirm upon the most appropriate way to force me to resign.The occasion came when the question of the military assent was to be approved.Tun Razak as well as Harun Idris, the MB of the state of Selangor, now felt which permission should be given knowing fully well which there was the odds of trouble. we suppose they felt which when this happened they could afterwards demand my resignation.To this day we find it very tough to hold which Razak, whom we had well known for so many years, would determine to work against me in this way. Actually, he was in my chateau as we was preparing to return to Kedah as well as we beyond him vocalization to Harun over the phone observant which he would be willing to authorize the permitwhen we left. we really could not hold what we ! was conference as well as elite to think it was about the ! little a lternative permit. In any case, as the Deputy Prime Minister in my absence from KL, he would be the Acting PMand would overrule my objection. Accordingly, when we was in my home in Kedah, we heard over the air wave which the assent had been approved.It seems as yet the expected difficulty was expected as well as planned for by Harun as well as his UMNO Youth. After the humiliating insults hurled by the non-Malays, generally the Chinese, as well as after the ostensible detriment of Malay domestic energy to them, they were clearly ready for the little retaliatory action. After assembly in vast numbers during Harun's official chateau in Jalan Raja Muda nearby Kampong Bahru as well as conference inflammatory speeches by Harun as well as alternative leaders, they prepared themselves by restraining ribbon strips upon their foreheads as well as set out to kill Chinese. The first untimely victims were two of them in the van conflicting Harun's chateau who were innocently watching the vast gathering. Little did they know which they would be killed upon the spot.The rest is history. we am sorry though we must finish this discussion now because it really pains me as the Father of Merdeka to have to relive those terrible moments. we have mostly wondered why God made me live prolonged sufficient to have witnessed my dear Malays as well as Chinese citizens killing each other."
Now, we do not know if this minute from the Tunku is real or not though it additionally raises the little alternative questions...
a) Does Khairy determine with the Tunku's version? "In history, it is already written..." ma.
b) Is Khairy calling the Tunku the liar because he (Khairy) knows just what happened? Everyone additionally knows who was responsible ma.
Hiyoh! Malaysian governing body damn difficult to faham la.
NIAMAH!! ! !
