388368One of them is my friend :) I hope that they all will be the best.
And I wish that even though they all going abroad for their university, they will come back to Indonesia again, and be a bright next leader.
My prayer is for you friend :) God bless you always!
I can talk from experience, Indonesia has bright, young talents. Unfortunately most of the Indonesian leaders have a military background (quite a dumb,corrupt institution) or if they are civilian it seems they bought their degree *cough* Titaful *cough*.
Not surprising many of the talents goes abroad and will work for (read help) foreign countries and companies.
Let's hope that these brilliant young academics will lead this country instead of transporting the knowledge to foreign lands. It can happen when a few individual in the political arena do not respect how valuable their own citizens are capable in bringing this country forward. It is called greed...
I hope some institutions and/or companies will continue to support these brilliant students. Otherwise, we'll have brain drain, when they can't find sufficient work to do in Indonesia.
That is something Indonesia's youth should be very proud of! I am sure the winners are indeed. Hope many more will follow! Congratulations!
Tokyo, Japan. Budding Indonesian scientists are again sitting on top of the world after four senior high school students claimed medals at the 42nd International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) in Tokyo, Japan.
According to the event’s Web site, Indonesia’s Manoel Manuputty won a gold medal, Alimatum Nashira won a silver and Stephen Haniel and Agung Hartoko were each awarded bronze.
Manoel, 17, a senior high school student from Jakarta scored 92.5 in the competition. Alimatum, from Yogyakarta, scored 78.7, while Stephen and Agung from Central Java scored 71.6 and 70.8 respectively.
The olympiad was held from July 15-27 at two universities, namely Waseda University for lab sessions and Tokyo University for theory, and attracted 276 participants from 68 countries.
The achievement completed Indonesia’s remarkable medal tally in international science competitions this year.
Last Monday, Indonesia won two gold medals and two bronze medals at the 21st International Biology Olympiad in Changwon, South Korea.
A few days later, the country won four gold medals and one silver medal at the 41st International Physics Olympiad in Zagreb, Croatia.

I believe it's a bad deed of some persons which doesn't represent the whole society. The same case in Indonesia. Torturing animal is a sin .
