    🇮🇩 lost one of her best sons and servants today. The legendary Mochtar Kusumaatmadja, former foreign minister and one of the key drafters of UNCLOS--the foundation of Indonesia's strategic outlook. You have the thanks of a grateful nation, Sir. Fair winds and following seas!

    Habibie was Indonesia’s most underrated President. He led the post-Suharto transition and ushered free elections, press freedom, decentralization, and pluralism. And he stayed away from power after his term ended. You will forever have the thanks of a grateful nation #rip 🇲🇨🇲🇨
