biographies, autobiographies, and news in the mass media.

Malala Yousafzai Malala

Yousafzai, born July 12, 1997; age 18, is a schoolgirl and education activist
from Mingora town in Swat District of the Pakistani province of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa. She is known for her education and women's rights activism in the
Swat Valley, where the Taliban has banned girls from attending school. As early as
2009, when she was around 11 and 12, Yousafzai wrote on her blog under a
pseudonym for the BBC in detail about how terrible it was to live under Taliban rule,
their attempts to take control of the valley, and her views on promoting education for
girls.
In 2014 she along with Kailash Satyarthi were awarded the 2014 Nobel prize
for peace for their fight against the oppression of children and youth and for their
right to education. Malala was born into a Pusthun family and follows Sunni Islam.
She is named after the Pusthun poet and women's warrior Malalai of Maiwand. She
grew up in Mingora, with two younger brothers and two pet chickens. She owes her
courage in writing to her father, a poet, school owner and education activist.
Her father ran several schools called Khushal Public School. Although Malala
said she wanted to be a doctor, her father encouraged her to become a politician. She
began speaking publicly for the right to education in 2008. Boldly and passionately,
she delivered her first rallying cry against the Taliban. "How dare the Taliban take
away my right to education!" the brave girl said in front of television and radio. On
October 9, 2012, Yousafzai was shot in the head and neck in an assassination attempt
by Taliban gunmen while returning home on a school bus.
 She was treated in Pakistan before being flown to the UK for treatment at a
hospital in Birmingham. Taliban leader Adnan Rasheed sent her a letter explaining
that the reason for the shooting was her critical attitude towards the militant group,
not because she was a women's education activist. Rasheed further expressed his
regret over this incident but did not apologize for the shooting of Malala Yousafzai.
He also suggested that Malala return to Pakistan and continue her education in a
Madrassa for women.
A group of 50 clerics in Pakistan issued a fatwa against the shooting. On July
12, 2013, her 16th birthday, Malala made a speech before the Assembly of Young
People Forum at the UN Headquarters in New York, USA. Her speech addressed
three important issues: women's rights, the fight against terrorism and ignorance. The
UN also declared that day as Malala Day. In October 2014, she and Kailash Satyarthi
were awarded the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for their fight against the oppression of
children and youth and for their right to education. Malala became the youngest Nobel
prize recipient, as she was awarded the prize at the age of 17.

Biography of B. J. Habibie B.J.

Habibie is a role model and a source of pride for many people in Indonesia. He
is the third President of the Republic of Indonesia. His full name and title are Prof.
DR (HC). Ing. Dr. Sc. Mult. Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie. He was born in Pare-Pare,
South Sulawesi, on June 25, 1936.
 He is the fourth of eight children, the couple Alwi Abdul Jalil Habibie and
RA.Tuti Marini Puspowardojo. Habibie married Hasri Ainun Habibie on May 12,
1962, and had two sons, Ilham Akbar and Thareq Kemal. Habibi has been an orphan
since his father died on September 3, 1950, due to a heart attack.
After his father died, his mother sold her house and vehicle and moved to
Bandung with her children. His mother worked hard to support her children's lives.
Habibie's childhood was spent with his siblings in Pare-Pare, South Sulawesi. Habibie
has shown a firm nature and has always held the principles he believes in since
childhood.
Habibie, who has a passion for horseback riding and reading, has been known
to be very intelligent since he was in elementary school. Habibie then studied at the
Gouvernments Middlebare School. In high school, his intelligence and achievements
stood out, especially in the exact subjects.
Habibie became a favorite figure in his school. Source:
Habibie_official_portrait_wikimedia.org Because of his intelligence, after graduating
from high school in Bandung in 1954, he entered ITB (Bandung Institute of
Technology). However, he did not complete his undergraduate degree there because
he received a scholarship from the Minister of Education and Culture to continue his
studies in Germany. Habibie was inspired by Bung Karno's message about the
importance of aerospace and aviation for Indonesia.
Therefore, he chose to major in aeronautical engineering with a specialization
in aircraft construction at the Rhein Westfalen Aachen Technische Hochschule
(RWTH). For the sake of his mother who had struggled to pay for his life and
education, Habibie studied hard. He was determined to be a successful person. At the
time he studied in Germany, in 1955, in Aachean, 99% of Indonesian students
studying there were given full scholarships. He was the only one who had a green
passport.
When the holiday season came around, he used his time to take exams and
work. After the vacation period, he returns to his studies. This lifestyle was very
different from his friends who chose to use their summer vacation time to work, seek
experience, without taking exams. In 1960, Habibie managed to get a Diploma Ing,
from Technische Hochschule Germany with the title cumlaude (perfect) and an
average score of 9.5.
With his engineering degree, Habibie applied to work at the Talbot Firm, a
railroad industry in Germany. At that time, the Talbot Firm needed a large-volume
wagon to transport light but large-volume goods. Talbot needed 1000 wagons. Given
such a challenge, Habibie tried to apply construction methods to make airplane wings.
He applied the method to the wagon and finally succeeded.
Habibie then continued his studies at Technische Hochschule Die Facultaet
Fuer Maschinenwesen Aschean. Habibie married Hasri Ainun, whom he later brought
to Germany. His life was getting harder. In the morning Habibie sometimes had to
walk fast to his distant workplace to save on living costs. He came home at night and
studied for his lectures. To save money, his wife had to wait in line at a public
laundromat to do his laundry.
In 1965, Habibie received the title of Dr. Ingenieur with a summa cumlaude
(very perfect) assessment with an average score of 10 from the Technische
 Hochschule Die Facultaet Fuer Maschinenwesen Aschean. Habibie received his
doctorate after discovering a formula that he named the "Habibie Factor" because it
could calculate cracks or crack propagation on random to the atoms of an airplane.
Habibie was nicknamed Mr. Crack. In 1967, Habibie became an Honorary
Professor (Professor) at the Bandung Institute of Technology. Genius and
achievement led Habibie to be recognized by international institutions, including the
German Gesselschaft fuer Luft und Raumfahrt (Institute of Aviation and Outer
Space), The Royal Aeronautical Society Londong (United Kingdom), The Royal
Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (Sweden), The Academie Nationale de
l'Air et de l'Espace (France), and The US Academy of Engineering (United States).
The prestigious awards that Habibie has won are the Edward Warner Award and the
von Karman Award, which are almost equivalent to the Nobel Prize. Domestically,
Habibie received the highest award from the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB)
Ganesha Praja Manggala Bhakti Kencana.
In Indonesia, Habibie became Minister of State for Research and
Technology/Head of BPPT for 20 years, chairman of the Indonesian Muslim Scholars
Association (ICMI), led strategic state-owned companies, was elected Vice President
of Indonesia and became the 3rd President of Indonesia after Soeharto stepped down
in 1998. During Habibie's tenure, there was a referendum in East Timor, until East
Timor finally separated from Indonesia.
In his short tenure, B.J. Habibie laid the foundation for democracy and
regional unity in Indonesia with the passing of the Law on Regional Autonomy and
the Law on Political Parties, the Law on Elections and the Law on the Composition of
the DPR/MPR.
Stepping down as President, Habibie returned to Germany with his family. In
2010, Ainun passed away due to cancer. As therapy for the loss of a loved one,
Habibie made a writing about his love story with Ainun, which was later booked
under the title "Ainun and Habibie". This book was filmed with the same title.
