Wassenaar Campus — The civitas academica of SIN Wassenaar has been saddened and overwhelmed by the feeling of loss upon receiving the information on the passing of the former H.E. Ambassador Mr. J.E. Habibie, this morning. He departed this worldy life toward the eternal rest peacefully in Jakarta, on Monday, 12 March 2012.
Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raaji’uun (Surely we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return, Q.S. 2:156), we would like to offer our heartfelt condolence to his family, that our thoughts and prayers are with him, may God’s forgiveness and blessings be upon him.
The whole civitas academica and management of SIN Wassenaar are the witnesses of Mr. Habibie’s full support and care for the improvement of our school during his tenure in The Hague, and all of his best efforts to achieve such end will be memorable, and we remain grateful of him.
A moment of silence and prayers were organised at our school this morning, including a sholat ghaib for the former Ambassador Habibie.
