	BBC News \| MONITORING \| Indonesia's Habibie "informally" asks Japan for debt
		Habibie made the request at separate meetings with representatives of major commercial banks and the Export-Import Bank of Japan, according to "banking sources" quoted by the agency.
		Habibie was quoted as saying that given Indonesia's harsh economic circumstances, logic dictated that the rescheduling of debt repayment for a year or so could be considered.
		Habibie asked that the banks have discussions with Indonesian firms without delay, and suggested the Asian development bank be asked to mediate if negotiations did not go smoothly, Kyodo said.

	The Initiation of PT. IPTN - 2/6 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie, born in Pare-pare, South Sulawesi, on June 25, 1936, is the man who initiative, skill and dedication were determining factors in IPTN's birth and progress.
		Habibie's wish to contribute something to Indonesia's national development was also stimulated by the writings and speeches of several of the country's independence pioneers such as Soekarno, the republic's first President, and Mohammad Yamin.
		Habibie's ambition to develop an aircraft industry in Indonesia was reinforced by his meeting with Indonesia's Foreign Minister Adam Malik who visited West Germany in 1966 and who asked Habibie to give a thought to development efforts in Indonesia.

	Wiranto accepts the VP candidacy -- Kamis, 14 Oktober 1999
		Habibie's choice was made after the Golkar leadership meeting failed to appoint one of the four candidates for VP to stand with Habibie and left it totally to him.
		Habibie choose Wiranto because he was a Javanese, the biggest clan and he is from the TNI.
		Habibie didn't announce his choice to reporters when he was earlier at the Golkar's head office in Slipi where local and foreign reporters were waiting for more than two hours for him.

		Jusuf Habibie sits uneasily on the throne he inherited a year ago next month when the reign of President Soeharto crumbled under the weight of Indonesia's economic disintegration and popular outrage at the endemic corruption of the former general's family and friends.
		Habibie is a diminutive shadow, physically and politically, of his formidable predecessor.
		This week, while both Habibie and Wiranto continued to propagate the obscene fiction that the slaughter of pro-independence activists and their families was the result of clashes between rival factions and not the direct consequence of state-sponsored terror, a profound but largely unnoticed change occurred in the status of Xanana Gusmao.

		The appointment of Baharuddin Jusuf Habibie as a successor to Suharto demonstrates that the vested interests at the heart of the system inaugurated by Suharto 32 years ago are still very much in control of Indonesia.
		Habibie, the former vice-president, is a recognised protégé of Suharto.
		Habibie's elevation to higher office is a none-too-subtle ploy to derail the momentum of the opposition.

		Habibie, who has never served in the army, also is said to have stirred resentment toward him within the military by forcing commanders to procure equipment that many officers consider too expensive and ill-suited to their needs.
		Habibie, a small, energetic man with a taste for classical music, has shown no sign that he is affected by such criticism.
		In the meantime, Habibie will have to look less to the vibrations in children's hearts and more to opposition demands that he hold national elections by the end of the year.

	Suharto ends 32-year reign in Indonesia
		Habibie, a long time aide to former President Suharto, was sworn in as president immediately after Suharto's resignation.
		But it is not clear that the public will accept his replacement by Habibie, 61, a crony who is unpopular with the politically powerful military and whose nomination as vice president earlier this year caused the Indonesian currency, the rupiah, to fall to its lowest level yet.
		Habibie has little political base of his own, owing his position entirely to his close friendship with Suharto, and a number of political analysts have said they expect a power struggle if he succeeds the president.

		A German-trained aeronautical engineer, Habibie's only claim to fame was his absolute compliance with the fallen dictator and a propensity for dabbling in grandiose capital-intensive industrial schemes.
		Habibie's last extravaganza during his tenure as vice-president involved a multi-billion dollar project to build a 100-passenger jetliner, even after the East Asian economic crisis had hit Indonesia with a vengeance.
		While serving as a minister, Habibie and his family reportedly amassed a vast fortune, estimated at $60 million, through diversified holdings in the chemical industry, construction, real estate, transport and communications.

	New leader touts reform in initial speech to nation
		Sitting behind a large name plate reading "President," Habibie said he had been "enormously impressed" by the accelerating popular movement for reform and by the struggle of student protesters, the vanguard of the movement that brought down Suharto after 32 years in power.
		Habibie, 61, who had been Suharto's vice president and loyal retainer, pledged to dedicate himself to democratization "in order to create a political atmosphere and clean governance free from corruption, collusion and nepotism and to create an economic life of more equitable opportunity."
		Habibie, who served for decades as minister of research and technology before becoming vice president just two months ago, has never held an important administrative position and does not have a strong political base or broad support in the powerful military.

	Habibie Called Brilliant, Eccentric, Unorthodox
		Habibie, a 61-year-old former aeronautical engineer, is one of Suharto's longest-serving Cabinet members, but he has spent most of his public career as Minister of Research and Technology, taking little part in affairs of state.
		Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie -- who is commonly known by his initials but whose friends call him Rudy -- was born on June 25, 1936, in South Sulawesi, the third of four children, and began reading the Koran as a child.
		Habibie graduated from a local technical institute and won a scholarship to study in Germany, where he earned a doctorate in aeronautical engineering.

		Habibie fired Suharto's eldest daughter Tutut as social affairs minister, her ally Hartono as home affairs minister, Suharto's longtime friend Mohamad "Bob" Hasan as trade and industry minister and Fuad Bawazier, a reputed adviser to the Suharto family who had been appointed finance minister.
		Habibie is in the awkward position of having to ease himself out, as soon as possible but certainly before his term officially ends in 2003.
		In 20 years as research and technology minister, Habibie managed to design a national plane that few bought willingly, annoy the military by influencing its equipment purchases, worry technocrats with his reliance on government funds and earn a reputation as a talker.

	TIME: Who Is B.J. Habibie?
		Habibie had been slipped into the No. 2 position of Vice President only 10 weeks ago by his patron of 24 years, the Indonesian strongman he slavishly referred to as S.G.S., Supergenius Suharto.
		Habibie boasted of being able to "leapfrog" low-skill industries, which would have given needed employment to the country's vast mass of unskilled laborers, and move straight into expensive high-tech ventures.
		In an effort to reassure the moneymen and political lenders on whom Indonesia's economic revival depends, Habibie announced a new "reform and development" Cabinet that conspicuously dropped the most prominent of Suharto's cronies, and pledged to develop a government "free of corruption, collusion and nepotism." Few of Habibie's critics were impressed.

		Bucharuddin Jusuf Habibie, the minister of research and technology, a long-time favourite of Suharto with a reputation for favouring state involvement in industry and links with Muslim intellectuals, was appointed vice-president.
		Suharto appointed a new cabinet in March 1998, which was dominated by a combination of economic nationalists and cronies, including his daughter as welfare minister, and his golfing partner as trade and industry minister.
		The election was the first free ballot in Indonesia in 44 years and the result was regarded as crucial to the democratic transformation of the after decades of authoritarian rule.

		JW.- In my analysis, Habibie has to be with Golkar, and most probably in coalition with the PPP (9), because Golkar itself will never have a majority (in the Assembly).
		Jusuf Wanandi is here lumping the government and Golkar together as the opponents to such a motion, but President Habibie made clear that he considered it essential that civil servants be barred from political activities.
		Although Jusuf Wanadi's remarks are completely irrelevant since the reforms that President Habibie has been pushing have established a platform for a free and fair election, we decided to publish them because they show the gap that we have between the rhetoric and the reality.

		Habibie quickly removed from office the most egregious examples of Suharto's nepotism in an attempt to distinguish himself from his predecessor and win favor with the emerging opposition factions.
