Post #354 Black and Mourn : Abdurrahaman Wahid

Abdurrahman Wahid also known as Gus Dur, formerly the fourth president of the Republic of Indonesia, passed away December 30, 2009 at 18.40.

today, dearest Indonesia has lost one more great minds. he was our president, he was a great leader, and he was a devoted muslim.

i was still so young and naive and had no clue what he’s doing when he was president and i don’t know what to reminiscence. but i know, then and now, that he’s a person who stood up for what’s right and was not afraid to speak his mind. he had ideas and opinions, he voiced them out.

quoted from vivanews the brilliant mind passed away with his wife and youngest child by his side. and – this is amazing -  at the time, president susilo bambang yudhoyono and mrs. ani yudhoyono were there visiting him. he passed away after being hospitalized for five days.

mr. gus dur, sir, you’ve done your works here and now you’re going to rock it with the others brilliant mind who passed before. rock on!
