HMI congress

From Pelita

The Islamic Students Association (HMI) is holding its 12th congress in Surabaya, East Java. The congress was officially opened by President Soeharto. This congress is extraordinary because it is the first congress of its kind to be opened by the President.

Hopefully the congress will be able to produce positive results and the HMI will play a more concrete role in the future. No competent intellectuals have appeared during the last decade, and the association has not performed any remarkable activities in society.

HMI can use this congress to gather the momentum with which to make the organization more solid and capable of playing a significant role which benefits the nation.
