Habbie in the hot seat
Article Abstract:
Indonesia's third president B.J. Habibie was trained as an engineer rather than a national leader of 200 million people and his rise in politics was seemingly accidental. Habibie is quick to distinguish himself from his predecessor Soeharto. In 12 months the new president has implemented press freedoms, released political prisoners, and lifted restrictions on the number of political parties. Habibie has directed separation of the police from the military and seeks bottom-up decision making. He awaits the people's response to his political direction during June 1999 elections.
