Sedikit mau menambahkan, dalam acara Inspiring Lecture BJ Habibie tadi malam, yang ada kaitannya dengan judul email ini. Dengan topics: "Optimizing Technology and Human Resources Development for economic sustainability in the islamic world" disampaikan BJH di depan faculty member Georgetown University, Northwestern dan dan beberapa universitas lain di Qatar foundation, saya catat beberapa kata kunci:
1. "We must make as our primary agenda, efforts to prioritize human resource development and mastery of technology in every Muslim country. Indonesia and Qatar both have the capabilities, it is only up to us to be able to capitalize on opportunities to create positive synergy. It should not only be our desire to do so, but it should be our responsibility to do so".
2. "Based on the experience of history and civilization of mankind, which is more important for Muslims today, to no longer busy discussing the greatness that Muslims achieved in the past, or debating who first discovered the number zero, including the number one, two, three and so on, as the contribution of Muslims in the writing of numbers in this modern era and the foundation and development of civilizations throughout the world. But how Muslims will regain the lead and control of science and technology, leading back and become a leader in the world of science and civilization, because it represents a real achievement".
Sungguh meskipun dalam lecture yang sekitar 1 jam lebih sedikit, karena BJH harus segera meninggalkan tempat karena ada undangan gala dinner dengan Sheikha Mozza tetapi audience menyampaikan apresiasi yg sangat ke beliau. Bahkan dengan gaya khasnya BJH, juga tadi malam menyatakan kekecewaan yanmg dalam karena pagi sebelumnya beliau hadir di WISH "The World Unnovation Summit Education for Health" yang dihadiri seribuan lebih ilmuwan dan prominent person lain dibidangnya, tak ada satupun dari Indonesia. Beliau bilang "I was very updpset, however, next time I promise you, it will not happened again, I will take care!!"
Bravo pak Habibie, ...
Salam,
