I thank DAAD

On Oct. 9, The Jakarta Post published my letter Dollar victim concerning my problem with the rising dollar against the rupiah. The letter seemed to have been regarded as a disgrace to the DAAD, an institution that supports me to do research in Germany.

On the contrary, I would like to thank DAAD which has given me the precious chance to carry out this research. What I wanted to point out in the letter was the impact of the rupiah crises on my program.

I have explained the matter to DAAD and the misunderstanding was on my side. I feel really sorry that I have put DAAD in an inconvenient situation.
