Bacharuddin Habibie Life

Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie (1936 – September 19, 2019) was an Indonesian engineer and politician who served as Indonesia's third president from 1998 to 1999.

Suharto resigned after 31 years in office less than three months after his inauguration as the seventh vice president in March 1998.

His presidency is seen as a historic and cultural transition into the Reformation period.

He liberalized Indonesia's press and political parties and held an early democratic election three years earlier than expected, resulting in the resignation of his presidency.

The country's longest president and vice president are both 517 days and 71 days in a row.

Early life

Habibie, a native of Parepare, was imprisoned in South Sulawesi. He was of ethnic Bugis-Gortonalese-Javanese descent from Kabila in Gorontalo and Yogyakarta. Alwi Abdul Jalil Habibie, a Bugis-Gorontalese descendant, and R. A. Tuti Marini Puspowardojo, a Javanese noblewoman from Yogyakarta, met while studying in Bogor. Habibie's paternal family comes from Kabila, just to the east of Gorontalo, which is in northern Sulawesi. He was the fourth of eight children. When he was 14 years old, Habibie's father died. The Gorontalo provincial government decided to finance the B.J's construction in 2018. The monument of Habibie in front of the main gate of Djalaluddin Airport in Gorontalo Regency is on display. In addition,, it was suggested that the State University of Gorontalo be renamed in honor of Habibie, but the proposal was not accepted at the time.

Education

Habibie went to Delft, the Netherlands, to study aviation and aerospace at Technische Hogeschool Delft (Delft University of Technology), but he had to continue his studies at Technische Hochschule Aachen, Germany, due to the West New Guinea war between the Netherlands and Indonesia). Habibie obtained an engineer's degree in Germany in 1960, earning the title Diplom-Ingenieur. He remained in Germany as a research assistant under Hans Ebner at the Lehrstuhl und Institut für Leichtbau, RWTH Aachen, to conduct research for his doctoral degree.

Bacharuddin Habibie Career

Engineering career

Habibie returned to Indonesia for three months on sick leave in 1962. He was reacquainted with Hasri Ainun, the daughter of R. Mohamad Besari, during this period. Habibie had known Hasri Ainun in childhood, junior high school, and senior high school at SMA Kristen Dago (Dago Christian Senior High School), Bandung. On May 12, 1962, the two married, then returned to Germany shortly afterwards. Habibie and his wife stayed in Aachen for a brief period before heading to Oberforstbach. They had an uncle, Ilham Akbar Habibie, in May 1963.

Habibie began working with Waggonfabrik Talbot, where he became an advisor in designing train wagons. The man in charge of train construction in Makosh resigned after three years, but Habibie denied the position.

Habibie's dissertation in aerospace engineering earned the accolade of "very good" in 1965, granting him the honor Doktoringenieur (Dr.-Ing.). He accepted Hans Ebner's invitation to continue his research into Thermoelastisitas and Habilitation as a scholar at RWTH, but he declines to join RWTH as a scholar. His paper on light construction for supersonic or hypersonic states attracted jobs from Boeing and Airbus, which Habibie also rejected.

Habibie accepted a job with Messerschmitt-Blohm in Hamburg. Habibie Factor (thermodynamics), Habibie Theorem (construction), and Habibie Method (aerodynamics) were among his inventions. He worked with Messerschmitt on the production of the Airbus A-300B plane. He was promoted to vice president of the corporation in 1974.

Suharto recruited Habibie to return to Indonesia in 1974 as part of his attempt to industrialize and develop the country. Habibie began working as a special assistant to Ibnu Sutowo, CEO of Pertamina and Chair of the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (Indonesian: Badan Pengkajian Pengakuran Pengnologi, BPPT). Habibie, the current CEO of Industri Pesawat Terbang Nurtanio (IPTN; Nurtanio Aircraft Industry), which has changed its name to Industri Pesawat Terbang Nusantara (Nusantara Aircraft Industry), has been renamed as Industri Pesawat Terbang Nusantara (PT) and is also known as Indonesian Aerospace (PT). (Because of 2000), Dirgantara Indonesia), was a locality.

Political career

He was elected as the State Minister of Education and Technology in 1978 (Indonesian: Menteri Negara Riset dan Menristek, Menristek). In this article, he continues to play a key role in IPTN's other "strategic" industries. IPTN had grown considerably by the 1980s, specializing in helicopters and small passenger planes. IPTN became a manufacturer of aircraft under Habibie's leadership, including Puma helicopters and CASA planes. In 1995, it pioneered the N-250 Gatotkaca, but the scheme was a commercial disaster. He took the "Begin at the End and End at the Beginning" approach to expanding Indonesia's aviation industry. Elements such as basic research were among the last things on which to focus, but actual production of the planes was the first target in this process.

Habibie controlled ten state-owned companies by 1991, including ship-building, steel, arms, electronics, and energy. According to a 1993 report, the estimates used nearly $2 billion a year in state budgets, but the government's opaque accounting methods meant that the industries' numbers were not completely understood.

Habibie, a Minister, created the OFP (Overseas Fellowship Program), STMDP (Science Technology and Manpower Development) and STAID (Science and Technology for Industrial Development). Thousands of high school seniors were able to complete their bachelor's degrees in STEM and other occupations, as well as other technical professionals, to continue their studies for master's and doctorate degrees in the United States, Europe, Japan, and other countries.

Habibie, as was predicted of senior government executives in Suharto's tenure, became a member of the Golkar party. In 1992, Suharto named him as deputy daily coordinator for the chairman of the executive board, and he became the daily coordinator in the following year.

Habibie was also elected as the first Chair of the Indonesian Association of Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI) in 1990 while serving in cabinet. This young Muslim group provided him with a political base, but not necessarily independent of the Suharto government.

Suharto revealed the selection criteria for the appointment of a vice president in January 1998, after accepting a seventh term as president. Suharto did not mention Habibie by name, but his argument that the next vice president should have a mastery of science and technology made it clear he had Habibie in mind.

This plan was rejected by the time of the Asian Financial Crisis last year, causing the rupiah to decline. Despite this, Habibie was elected vice president in March 1998.
