Guess What? Henry Pribadi<\/p>\n
When this man gave up his hoop dreams, by quitting Indonesia's
\nbasketball team years ago, few expected that Henry Pribadi would
\nbe playing another game on another level, in international
\nfinance and the petrochemical trade.<\/p>\n
Henry, a well-known basketball player in the early 1980's, is
\nnow the man behind several major ventures, such as polypropylene
\nmaker PT Tri Polyta Indonesia, a US $371 million company listed
\non the Nasdaq Bourse in New York, and the multi-billion dollar
\nolefin project, PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical Center.<\/p>\n
\"I'm too busy and too old now for basketball,\" he said last
\nweek after Tri Polyta's shareholders meeting. Henry also chain
\nsmokes nowadays.<\/p>\n
The forty-something tycoon said, however, that this does not
\nmean his love for the game has completely evaporated.<\/p>\n
\"I'm a patron for the Indonesian Basketball Association. I
\nalso try to watch the NBA playoffs on television whenever I can,\"
\nhe said.<\/p>\n
\"I'm glad that Michael Jordan has returned to the game after
\ntrying baseball for a while,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Unlike Jordan, we can expect Henry to stay in his other field
\nof dreams for many years to come. (hdj)<\/p>",
