B. J. Habibie

President of Indonesia from 1998 to 1999

Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie (Indonesian: [bahaˌrudin ˌjusuf haˈbibi] ; 25 June 1936 – 11 September 2019) was an Indonesian statesman, engineer, scientist and inventor who served as the third president of Indonesia from 1998 to 1999. A little over two months after his inauguration as the seventh vice president in March 1998, he succeeded Suharto, who resigned after 32 years in office, thereby being the country's first vice president to assume the presidency intra-term. Originating from Sulawesi with Bugis-Gorontalese and Javanese ancestry, his presidency was seen as a landmark and transition to the Reform era.
