Before I served as vice-president, character and the character of the Bugis people who know him are very rare in this part of this archipelago. In fact there are many opinions are wrong and people think bugis is a nation that is never harsh and uncompromising. This if the view of the history of many who consider that the Bugis people are pirates in the past. This assumption was unfounded and wrong.Bugis people actually have the hallmark of interest. From its history Bugis kingdom was founded not on the centers of capital and very far away from Indian influence. That's why there is no temple in Bugis. This differs from the Javanese kingdom of mebangun center in the capital of his kingdom and are concentric.However, the Bugis people already known to have culture, they have a tradition of oral and written. Even the Bugis have one of the greatest epics in the world that is longer than the Mahabharata epic story of Lagaligo which until now often read and copied again and become a culture rooted in Bugis society.For the other tribes, the Bugis are often regarded as a hard character and veryhonor. When necessary for the honor, the Bugis are willing to do violence. But behind the nature of it all, actually the Bugis is a very friendly person, respect others and uphold solidarity, even willing to be a bumper for the sake of solidarity. (That's probably why Golkar during the government of SBY-JK Bumper often as he was led by a man of great character bugis).Although as a nation of nomads, people always carry identity bugis bugisnya everywhere. Some people in Singapore and Malaysia, although the citizens there, and they have a modern life style but they always claim to be descendants of Bugis meskpiun already is the umpteenth and never touch the ground bugis.Likewise with me, as long plunge into the world of politics I never take off my bugis character and outspoken, and often considered to be less polite to those who appreciate the etiquette. But that's me, I often tell my friends, do not force me to be people of Java. Being a hard character bugis and sometimes useful too. Time to resolve the case Ambalat for the first time, when I was using the style of Bugis-style diplomacy that you do not get in the literature of diplomacy strategy. At that time I to Malaysia to meet with the Prime Minister Najib. At that time he was joined by five of the Minister and I also accompanied by 5 ministers plus our Ambassador. At that meetingI said to Najib "Najib ... Ambalat that sensitive issues, it can make us the war. If our war, not necessarily who wins. But one thing you must remember, in Malaysia there are 1 million people of Indonesia, 1000 Bombing of course I teach, and they bomb these buildings in Malaysia, then you're dead "It was Mr. Najib was shocked, he knew as a fellow Bugis, a threat I'm not just a mere bluff. He said to me "pack Jusuf, can not be so"I said to him "so let's negotiate, frankly I sometimes do not like you've got the same State, Labor-Illegal workers from Indonesia were rounded up like animals, while the employer does notarrested, but if there are illegal workers then of course there are also employers of illegal. Any Illegal logging must have Malaysians who take, so there are forest fires they get angry, but most of the year they breathe fresh air produced by the forests in Indonesia, there is only one month they were mad mad haze. And also every bomb blast in Indonesia there is always someone Malaysia mastermind "At that time, Mr. Ambassador directly bisiki me "Sir, It seems to have passed the limits of diplomacy"I immediately told him "you're the ambassador, well where have you amend your passing"After that, to show my lack sukaan to Malaysia I refuse to stay in KualaMud, I said I wanted to stay in the kampong in Johor Bugis there. Finally, Mr. Najib also join me there. On the car, on the way to Johor Mr. Najib Tell me "I think the father is too hard last time to negotiate"Cuman I told him "you're not too Bugis, why are you not too hard was that?" Heard that he cuman just laughed.That night in Johor, we have dinner and singing, invited Siti Nurhaliza, until 1 pm and we are sleepy. The next morning we played golf, and then also the problem of Ambalat completed. Bugis-style diplomacy with force, I do not need to use materials that have been prepared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of all spontaneity alone. And until now if the soldiers came again on Ambalat Malaysia, I just call Najib "Hey Najib, do not you send it again, you have an army to Ambalat, we can war later"Demikan also told EXXON time to lift my foot from the Natuna Block. At that time I was chased by people EXXON they want to lobby. But I always refused to see and avoid. Me to Riyadh, they would catch up to it, I want them to come to Jeddah, but I refused because I want to worship and in the outside world until they're after me. Finally the time In Makassar seeing their persistence, I tell them to come. And they came to the chairman of Exxon 4 Orang and I was only accompanied by my secretary.At a meeting at the Hotel Sahid Makassar, the Exxon says to me, "Mr.Vice President, if you cancel the contract with EXXON, then tomorrow will be my SU"I was immediately at my desk and told him "if you dare to SU, then I'll SU you 10 times, Itsmy country, not your country, do not you come over here would threaten threatened me ".At that time he immediately apologized. And then Block Natuna management back into our hands,although in the end loose again to EXXON because I unplugged the power and control are no longer in my hands. Whatever it was, for national honor, we do not want to be dictated by other nations, if they are hard, then we are back even harder. Never fear we will be hard and stuff. As long as we believe God is always with us, then other nations will not be able to do anything against us.
