Research center LP3ES

It was with great interest that I read the article on the 30th anniversary of the Institute for Social and Economic Research, Education and Information (LP3ES) under the title Thirty-year- old research center, first home of famed scholars by Rikza Abdullah, in The Jakarta Post, Aug. 28, 2001.

I was however surprised to read that M. Jusuf Ronodipuro is a businessman. To the best of my knowledge, Mr. Ronodipuro, was a civil servant with the now defunct ministry of information.
