Mau nanya Mas,
"Putra Daerah" itu siapa? Dan siapa "Putra Nasional"?
Siapa "Putra Indonesia"? dan mengapa harus ada "Klasifikasi Putra-Putra
or Putri-Putri"?
And Maaf, Pak Habibie itu bukan orang MAKASSAR, beliau adalah
Orang Indonesia, turunan Jawa-Gorontalo. Kebetulan saja orang tua beliau
tugas di Sulawesi Selatan tepatnya di Pare-Pare.
Tapi bukan di Makassar (Ujungpandang).
Sepengetahuan saya, orang-orang MAKASSAR itu tidak gampang digembirakan
oleh ikatan suku. Whoever is the leader, mereka tidak pandang bulu,
asal JUJUR dan TIDAK BERMUKA DUA!!!!
Kalau tentang jabatan tinggi, bagi orang MAKASSAR, BUKAN jabatan
BIROKRASI, akan tetapi jabatan pendidikan agama atau mental yakni
SANG GURU! Sebab mereka percaya, birokrasi sangat mudah mengkorup
manusia -- ini adalah pesan LONTARA dari zaman Sultan Alauddin.
Sebagai bukti, para SULTAN di Makassar lebih dianggap sebagai SANG GURU
daripada sebagai RAJA.
Thank you,

> In Aceh late last year, mobs believed to be

>
> Dr Andi Mallarangeng, a member of the

> "The call for independence by some provinces is a

>
> "For the resource-rich provinces of Aceh, Irian
