I noticed that quite a handful Indonesians who graduated from Harvard Business School work (or used to work) for either the Suharto's family or for his ex-cronies: Humpuss, Salim, or SinarMas to name a few. Ever wonder why?

I know one friend graduated from Harvard with best integrity and commitment, Muliaman Hadad, deputy governor of Bank Indonesia. Met him and family in Monash for almost two years and he shows consistency up until today.

I know P Purnama also with similar character but working as a professional in private sector.

Hoping that good people taking the best role for good development of the country.

It's Salim and it's Bogasari. It's supposed to be big. To command respect from a window of a mercedes is easy, but could anyone do the same from a window of a hyundai? Enough said.
