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
