Death of a President... and Good Legacy Indonesia, dll.

Hayat and Erin kick off the episode with the sad news of the passing of former president BJ Habibie. While he served for less than two years as Indonesia’s third president, his legacy is far larger. But is it being forgotten already? Habibie championed a free press and gender equality in a post-Suharto Indonesia, two areas seemingly under attack by legal revisions set to pass the House next week. Some President Joko Widodo stans are moving early though, taking on Tempo. Elsewhere, haze is blanketing much of Western Indonesia and the region, but #sawitbaik, right?
