Kenyataan Media International Crisis Group-Perginya Ali Alatas.

Kami semua di International Crisis Group sangat bersedih dengan berita pemergian Penasihat Presiden Indonesia dan mantan Menteri Luar Ali Alatas, yang baru sahaja dipilih untuk menganggotai Lembaga Pemegang Amanah International Crisis Group. Beliau merupakan rakan kepada kebanyakan ahli lembaga pengarah dan kakitangan di sini. Kami merakamkan ucapan takziah kepada balu beliau, Junisa dan ahli keluarga beliau.

Ali Alatas terkenal sebagai seorang yang berhemah dan bijaksana, serta dihormati sebagai seorang negarawan ulung. Beliau memainkan peranan penting bagi memastikan proses peralihan yang lancar buat Indonesia, dari pemerintahan kuku besi tentera kepada sebuah negara demokrasi. Peranan beliau juga sangat penting di dalam membentuk ASEAN sebagai satu forum untuk mengekalkan keamanan dan kestabilan di rantau ini serta menjadi jambatan di antara negara membangun dengan negara maju melalui Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu dan forum-forum lainnya.

Saya secara peribadi merasakan kehilangan di atas pemergian saudara Ali. Beliau dan saya, sama-sama dilantik sebagai menteri luar pada tahun yang sama-1988- kami bekerjasama dengan erat bagi memulihkan hubungan di antara Australia dan Indonesia; sentiasa mencuba mencari jalan penyelesaian yang terbaik buat isu Timor Timur. Pendekatan beliau terhadap isu yang sukar itu membuatkan beliau dikenal sebagai seorang yang moderat(malah Jose Ramos Horta juga mengakuinya)dan suara konstruktif. Beliau menjalankan tugas di waktu sukar terutamanya di saat-saat akhir pemerintahan Suharto.

Beliau sentiasa berusaha untuk memastikan adanya tekanan dari luar buat junta tentera Burma yang bertindak melanggari hak asasi rakyatnya; juga sumbangan beliau pada tahun-tahun 1989-1993, di dalam merangka serta melaksanakan proses damai tajaan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu(PBB)di Kemboja. Inisiatif yang dimulakan oleh Australia itu berhasil dengan kemahiran diplomasi Ali Alatas. Mutakhir ini kami bekerjasama bagi menjayakan inisiatif Australia-Jepun mengenai International Commission on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament. Beliau seperti biasa, mempamirkan kebijaksanaan, juga berpengetahuan dan berpandangan jauh. Sudah tentu dengan ditemani Junisa; isteri beliau.

Edisi Inggeris

All of us at the International Crisis Group are deeply saddened by the news of the death today of Indonesian Presidential Adviser and former Foreign Minister Ali Alatas, a recently-elected member of our Board of Trustees and a long-standing friend and colleague of many Board and staff members. We express our deepest condolences to his widow Junisa and all his family.

Ali Alatas was a wise and enormously respected international statesman who played an important role in managing Indonesia’s transition from authoritarian military rule to flourishing democracy, in consolidating ASEAN’s role as a major force for maintaining peace and stability in a long-volatile region and in being an effective communications bridge over many years between the developing and developed world in the UN and other multilateral forums.

I personally feel a particular sense of loss at Ali’s passing. He and I, appointed as our country’s foreign ministers in the same year – 1988 – worked closely together to restore the then very damaged bilateral relationship between Indonesia and Australia; to try to find a solution to the divisive issue of East Timor, on which he was always (as Jose Ramos Horta among others has subsequently acknowledged) a moderate and constructive voice, though working against very difficult odds until the end of the Suharto era; to try to sustain external pressure against the Burmese military regime’s human rights violations; and above all – between 1989 and 1993 — to devise and implement the UN peace plan for Cambodia, initially an Australian initiative but one which could never have been successfully carried through without Ali’s immensely skilled and deft diplomacy. Most recently we have worked together on the Australia-Japan initiated International Commission on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament, on which, as always, he was knowledgeable, wise, forward looking — and, along with Junisa, very good company.

  1. 1 A Very Concern Malaysian Citizen Dec 12th, 2008 at 7:57 pm

    Dear sir,

    Please forgive me for posting this message here, for I do not know PKR’s email address.

    I am writing as a very concern citizen of Malaysia. Our education system in Malaysia has not only failed, it has failed miserably.

    The latest Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) report is out, to aid in understanding what has transpired, I’m providing two links -

    For Math
    http://i36.tinypic.com/28b5uzp.jpg

    For Science
    http://i38.tinypic.com/jqhu2r.jpg

    To make the long story short, I’ll just compare the result of our neighbor to the south, Singapore, to that of Malaysia

    In Science ( http://i38.tinypic.com/jqhu2r.jpg ),
    Singapore scores 32%, while Malaysia scores 3%

    In Math, ( http://i36.tinypic.com/28b5uzp.jpg ),
    Singapore scores 40%, while Malaysia scores 2%

    Dear Sir, please don’t take this as a joke. The truth hurts, and it hurts terribly bad !

    One way or another, we must change the education system, or our kids will have no future at all.

    Please Sir, please help us change the system.

    Thank you for reading.
