"I see that Pindad has made SS1, that is good, now there is also Anoa (military special vehicle). But you also need to concern for long-term strategy. Don't let Pindad rely solely on the orders from the military budget. We still have a chance to develop a bigger business with existing HR competencies and the mastery of technology, "Habibie said in Pindad's 30-year book.
He also briefly wrote his message and wishes on his photo frame while attending the Pindad booth at Habibie Festival 2016 in Jakarta.
