This radar is an invention from 20 Indonesian researchers at LIPI (Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia). From the news, it is even said that the radar can be use for military purpose such as target-locking and missile guidance tools. But for me, the most interesting point not only because it works as a proof that Indonesian researcher can make such high-tech and precise equipments and as it can boost Indonesia capability to make any strategic facilities. But also because it is said that Indonesia is the only country in South East Asia which capable to make the Radar! Imagine that !! Indonesia is the only one who can make such powerful equipment in South East Asia. Isn’t it make us proud to be Indonesian? To put that into another view and perspective, Indonesia also already has shipyards (PT PAL), Airplane (IPTN) and weaponry facilities (Pindad).

There are even visitors of that posting that leave a comment and asking that question. Still bewildered, I am replying to that comment and also send an email, and still left wondering. Why ? First, I think that is such a funny and even strange question to be asked since if you are a moslem and you are about to fast in this Islamic Ramadan month, then I thought you should know already the answer of that question. It never occurred to me (as I was born and live in country that considered by many as the biggest moslem country in the world, Indonesia) that there are people out there who maybe just introduced to the Islam religion or faith and they do not have someone who can guide them answering the questions they may have during this fasting period of this holy month, Ramadan.
