Last Post of Her.

for everyone

Buka-buka lagi file minggu lalu nemu posting ini minggu kemarin.

Cofeemix, bikin hidup lebih hidup di Multiply. Minggu kemarin ketemu lagi dengan beliau di Seminar, beliau lagi sibuk nyiapin sidang.

Flash back lagi, YM dengan Lukman,

Lukman: Lagi di mana euy?
Saya: Masih di rumah, tapi mau pergi nonton "Perempuan Menuntut Malam"
Lukman: Ikut atuh, saya sama Bu Leni da.
(kurang lebih deh, pasnya mah lupa.)
Dan ketemu lah saya setelah sekian lama sejak jam kerja kampus jadi sama dengan jam kerja kantorku.

Pertama ketemu:
Beliau yang terima berkas perpindahan saya dari Kampus cap Makara. Bahkan karena kalender akademik di kampus hijau ini lebih lambat, saya lupa balik lagi buat membereskan administrasi pendaftaran.
Dan Beliau yang mengontak rumahku mengingatkan. Terima kasih Bu. Kalo gak ada Ibu saya gak tau jadi apa.

Terima kasih, selamat jalan Bu. Ilmu yang kudapat dari Ibu akan saya sebarkan walau sudah berkurang karena kelemotanku.

Lebih jauh
Leni Juwita

Atau silahkan google dengan keyword namanya karena ternyata banyak tulisan beliau yang tidak aku ketahui sebelumnya

In Memoriam (a little bit late)

Apr 8, '08 5:20 AM
for everyone

I should really write this a couple of days ago.
But then I think it's better late than never.

I recognized him initially from his writing on
newspaper and other media. His writing is, as Mr. T. Bachtiar said in local
paper, really touches the common people. His writing is not like he resend his
writing from the science seminar to local newspaper, it was really made for
newspaper, easy to digest by busy readers, offers practical solution, and
position himself not as a theorist, but merely someone who's willing to help by
giving advice to the people that has problem.

Born with the name of Soemarwotto, his childhood
name is Otok, which spelled Otto by his colleague at UCB, thus the name Otto
Soemarwotto. Even though his academic achievement is numerous, he seldom
mentioned his academic title in his writing, that represent his will to keep
humble and blended with the people that he helped.

One of his best achievement in my opinion is that
on March 1, 1999 he had his best present, a seminar attended by 400 personnes
including the Minister of Environment at that time, Emil Salim. That gift is a
symbol that he was closely worked with his colleague, and that his collleague is
recognizing him for his excellence in his discipline.

After his death, our local newspaper is flooded
with columns about Mr. Soemarwotto, some mentionable writer including Mr.
T. Bachtiar (Bandung Basin Research Group), and H.A.M Ruslan (Head of West Java
Legislative).

From Wikipedia (Indonesian, translated to English):

"Prof. Dr. Ir. Otto Soemarwoto (born in Purwokerto,
February 19, 1926) is an Indonesian ecologist. Graduated from Universitas Gadjah
Mada (UGM) majoring in agriculture (1954), and Universitas California of
Berkeley (1960), he was then becoming the youngest professor at UGM when he was
started in 1960. He was the Director for National Biology Institute from
1964-1972. At 1972, he started Pusat Penelitian Sumber Daya Alam dan Lingkungan
(Natural Resource and Environment Research Center)and worked at that institution
until 1992. Beside that, he was also took duty of becoming director for National
Ecology Institute from 1972 until 1991. On 1993, he joined Business Council for
Sustainable Development led by Bob Hasan. At the same year he had Honoris Causa
Doctorat from Wageningen Agricultural University (Belanda). He became Professor
(Emeritus) for Environment at Universitas Padjadjaran in Bandung.

Otto Soemarwoto died on April, 1st 2008 because of
his illness at Sentosa Hospital, Bandung.

Otto Soemarwoto received Bintang Mahaputra Utama on
the year 1981. He left a wife and four children."
