Books on Hatta enter museum

JAKARTA: A number of serialized books about Mohammad Hatta, the
country's first vice president, are being included in the
collection of the Indonesian Records Museum for their meaningful
teachings.

"This is an appreciation of Hatta's personality that can
inspire solutions to our leadership crisis," said Rahmat Nata
Jumena, chairman of the Movement for Reading Campaign, here on
Wednesday.

The first book examines the life of Hatta and his beliefs. At
least 86 writers were involved in writing the book.

Rahmat said the launch of the book was aimed at countering the
negative impact of negative stories from abroad.

A number of government officials, artists, journalists and
Hatta's family members took part in reading sections from the
book on Wednesday. - Antara
