Daftar 100 Tokoh Berpengaruh Dunia 2009 (SBY Masuk Lho)

Majalah TIME telah memilih 100 Tokoh Berpengaruh Dunia Tahun 2009 (TIME 100). Dari ke-100 Tokoh dibagi menjadi 5 kategori, yaitu : Leaders & Revolutionaries, Builders & Titans, Artist & Entertainers, Heroes & Icon, dan Scientists & Thinkers. Hebatnya Presiden kita, SBY (Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono) masuk dalam daftar tersebut. Bagaimana tanggapan SBY atas masuknya dalam 100 Tokoh Dunia 2009 ?

“Oh sudah keluar ya, Alhamdulillah. Pak SBY tentu merasa sangat bangga masuk dalam TIME 100,” kata Juru Bicara Kepresidenan Andi Mallarangeng.

Andi mengatakan, masuknya SBY dalam TIME 100 merupakan bukti bahwa kinerja SBY selama kurang lebih lima tahun memang terlihat. “Rakyat Indonesia harus ikut bangga karena Presiden Indonesia masuk dalam TIME 100. Di bawah kepemimpinan SBY, daya tahan negara kita sangat bagus,” lanjut pria berkumis itu.

Majalah TIME meminta tanggapan Anwar Ibrahim untuk menggambarkan bagaimana sosok SBY. Berikut kesan Anwar Ibrahim terhadap ketokohan SBY :
The changes taking place in Indonesia today are among the most remarkable developments in the Muslim world. The country’s transition from authoritarianism has proved that as a democracy, Indonesia can be culturally vibrant and economically prosperous.

Since winning the presidency in 2004, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has managed to keep the nation afloat, even during the current global recession. However, significant challenges lie ahead. Poverty remains pervasive in Indonesia, and the government must press onward with improvements to the country’s ailing infrastructure. Businesses are confronted with a bewildering array of regulations, and the country pays a heavy price in corruption and bribery.

The coming presidential election promises to be good to Yudhoyono, 59, thanks in no small measure to his having for the most part delivered on his promises. The history of Indonesia’s democratic journey may not be that long, but it has thus far shown that the country’s people will not re-elect a President who falls short of expectations.

The time is right for Indonesia, as the world’s most populous Muslim nation, to assume a more prominent position in Asia and throughout the Muslim world. In response to President Obama’s warm overtures to Muslim countries for a new phase in relations with the U.S., Yudhoyono can take the lead and chart a new course for the region.

Ibrahim is currently an opposition leader in Malaysia and the former Deputy Prime Minister
