Habibie inherited the chaotic state of conditions in

post Suharto’s resignation breaking loose on the new order era, giving rise
to rampant riots and disintegerasi almost the entire territory
of Indonesia. Soon after acquiring the powers of President Habibie soon formed
a Cabinet. One of the tasks is the importance of the back support from the
International Monetary Fund and the community of donor countries for the
economic recovery program. He also frees political prisoners and
reducing controls on freedom of speech and the activities of the organization.
During his brief he managed to give a solid foundation for Indonesia, at which time
the Antitrust ACT of being born or healthy competition ACT, political
parties ACT changes and the most important is the ACT of the
autonomous region. Through the application of autonomous region ACT this is
the turmoil of disintegrating inherited since the new order
era successfully muted and finally completed in the era of President Susilo
Bambang Yudhoyono, in the absence
of regional autonomy ACT certainly Indonesia will suffer the same fate as the
Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.
The appointment of B.J. Habibie as President raises a wide range
of controversies for the people of Indonesia. The party pros consider the
appointment of Habibie is already unconstitutional. It complies with the provisions
of article 8 of the Constitution states that “when the President died, stopped, or is
unable to perform its obligations in his term, he was replaced by Vice
President until the time runs out“. While the counter parties consider that
the appointment of B.J. Habibie is considered unconstitutional. This is contrary
to the provisions of article 9 of the Constitution states that “before assuming
the post of President then the President would have to say the oath or pledge in
front of the ASSEMBLY or of the PARLIAMENT“.
