      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“.
