Whither PII?

A short message came into my mobile phone stating: "Rendered in peace to Illahi Rabbi, Prof. Anton Timur Djaelani, today, Sunday 15th February 2009. He will be buried in his tranquil village Tasikmalaya".
Anyone who is and was member of Indonesian Muslims Students' Organization (IMSA or PII in bahasa, stands for Pelajar Islam Indonesia) would be certainly feel condolence by the news. Why not?


Prof. Anton is one of founding fathers of PII, beside other 3; Yoesdi Ghazali, Ibrahim Zarkasyi, and Amin Syahri. He is the last among the four and blessed with long age (80 years), witnessing many social changes, including the ones simmering within PII, the organization that he established 56 years ago. May Allah accept his deeds, forgive his mistakes and place him in His best side.
