TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Fifth Indonesian president Megawati Soekarnoputri has thanked the Fujian Normal University for awarding her an honorary doctorate (honoris causa).
“Thank God, because personally, it actually dismisses [the issue] about my academics. Because it was known, when in 1965, I was not allowed to go to college (by the regime), but it was always broadcast that I was a drop out,” Megawati said in Fuzhou, China, on Monday, November 5.
Megawati said the degrees she had received were awards from universities, both domestic and foreign ones, that lauded her deeds and thoughts for the nation.
