Indonesia Bangkit clarifies

Thank you for the coverage on the launch of IBUTeledukasi.

We would like to correct a mistake in the article titled First
Virtual University enrolling students published on Aug. 12, which
stated the following: "...Perhimpunan Bangkit Indonesia, a non-
governmental organization under the Association of the Indonesian
Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI)..."

Please note that our organization is Perhimpunan Indonesia
Bangkit, not Perhimpunan Bangkit Indonesia. It was set up in 1999
with a vision of establishing a society for democracy and
people's economy in Indonesia. It is an independent institution,
open to working with any partners sharing a similar vision and
mission. In running IBUTeledukasi, we are cooperating with the
University of Tun Abdul Razak, the first virtual university in
Malaysia, and e-Telkom.

In the launch of IBUTeledukasi on Aug. 9, 2001, we organized
the event in partnership with ICMI and the Ministry of National
Education.
