Berikut profil yang sangat mengagumkan dari seorang Presiden Iran saat ini: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
1. Saat pertama kali menduduki kantor kepresidenan
Ia menyumbangkan seluruh karpet Istana Iran yang sangat tinggi nilainya itu
kepada masjid2 di Teheran dan menggantikannya dengan karpet biasa yang mudah dibersihkan.
2. Ia mengamati bahwa ada ruangan yang sangat besar untuk menerima dan menghormati tamu VIP,
lalu ia memerintahkan untuk menutup ruang tersebut dan menanyakan pada protokoler
untuk menggantinya dengan ruangan biasa dengan 2 kursi kayu, meski sederhana tetap terlihat impresive.
3. Di banyak kesempatan ia bercengkerama dengan petugas kebersihan di sekitar rumah dan kantor kepresidenannya.
4. Di bawah kepemimpinannya, saat ia meminta menteri2 nya untuk datang kepadanya
dan menteri2 tsb akan menerima sebuah dokumen yang ditandatangani yang berisikan arahan2 darinya,
arahan tersebut terutama sekali menekankan para menteri2nya untuk tetap hidup sederhana
dan disebutkan bahwa rekening pribadi maupun kerabat dekatnya akan diawasi,
sehingga pada saat menteri2 tsb berakhir masa jabatannya dapat meninggalkan kantornya dengan kepala tegak.
5. Langkah pertamanya adalah ia mengumumkan kekayaan dan propertinya yang terdiri dari Peugeot 504 tahun 1977,
sebuah rumah sederhana warisan ayahnya 40 tahun yang lalu di sebuah daerah kumuh di Teheran.
Rekening banknya bersaldo minimum, dan satu2nya uang masuk adalah uang gaji bulanannya.
6. Gajinya sebagai dosen di sebuah universitas hanya senilai US$ 250.
7. Sebagai tambahan informasi, Presiden masih tinggal di rumahnya.
Hanya itulah yang dimilikinyaseorang presiden dari negara yang penting baik secara strategis, ekonomis, politis,
belum lagi secara minyak dan pertahanan.
Bahkan ia tidak mengambil gajinya, alasannya adalah bahwa semua kesejahteraan adalah milik negara dan ia bertugas untuk menjaganya.
8. Satu hal yang membuat kagum staf kepresidenan adalah tas yg selalu dibawa sang presiden tiap hari selalu berisikan sarapan;
roti isi atau roti keju yang disiapkan istrinya dan memakannya dengan gembira,
ia juga menghentikan kebiasaan menyediakan makanan yang dikhususkan untuk presiden.
9. Hal lain yang ia ubah adalah kebijakan Pesawat Terbang Kepresidenan,
ia mengubahnya menjadi pesawat kargo sehingga dapat menghemat pajak masyarakat dan untuk dirinya,
ia meminta terbang dengan pesawat terbang biasa dengan kelas ekonomi.
10. Ia kerap mengadakan rapat dengan menteri2 nya untuk mendapatkan info tentang kegiatan dan efisiensi yang sdh dilakukan,
dan ia memotong protokoler istana sehingga menteri2 nya dapat masuk langsung ke ruangannya tanpa ada hambatan.
Ia juga menghentikan kebiasaan upacara2 seperti karpet merah, sesi foto, atau publikasi pribadi,
atau hal2 spt itu saat mengunjungi berbagai tempat di negaranya.
11. Saat harus menginap di hotel, ia meminta diberikan kamar tanpa tempat tidur yg tidak terlalu besar
karena ia tidak suka tidur di atas kasur, tetapi lebih suka tidur di lantai beralaskan karpet dan selimut.
Apakah perilaku tersebut merendahkan posisi presiden?
Presiden Iran tidur di ruang tamu rumahnya sesudah lepas dari pengawal2nya yg selalu mengikuti kemanapun ia pergi.
Menurut koran Wifaq, foto2 yg diambil oleh adiknya tersebut,
kemudian dipublikasikan oleh media masa di seluruh dunia, termasuk amerika.
12. Sepanjang sholat, anda dapat melihat bahwa ia tidak duduk di baris paling muka
13. Bahkan ketika suara azan berkumandang,
ia langsung mengerjakan sholat dimanapun ia berada meskipun hanya beralaskan karpet biasa
14. baru-baru ini dia baru saja mempunyai Hajatan Besar Yaitu Menikahkan Puteranya. Tapi pernikahan putra Presiden ini hanya layaknya pernikahan kaum Buruh. Berikut dokumentasi pernikahan Putra Seorang Presiden
Mudah-mudahan di Pilpres yang akan datang kita akan memiliki Presiden seperti itu.. Mungkinkah..?????

Wrapping up FORBES ASIA’s annual coverage of the region’s wealthiest fortunes is our ranking of Indonesia’s 40 Richest. The list, like the ten other country-specific ones we’ve published this year, illustrates the big gains Asian tycoons are making. Overall, the combined net worth of our Asia rich listers rose to $938 billion, up from $575 billion, thanks largely to strong equities and real estate markets, as well as a weak dollar. The 40 wealthiest Indonesians added $18 billion to their combined wealth, bringing it up to $40 billion.
The country now boasts 11 billionaires, 4 more than last year. (The list is broadened to include family fortunes shared by relatives that we would exclude from our main billionaire roster.) “Landlords” who make their money through such commodities as coal, paper and palm oil did particularly well. Aburizal Bakrie and his family, whose investment in coal outfit Bumi Resources is up 600%, took the top spot, with a $5.4 billion fortune. Sukanto Tanoto is worth $4.7 billion, up from $2.8 billion, but still slips to second place. Martua Sitorus, who merged the palm oil holdings of his Wilmar International with those of Malaysia’s richest person, Robert Kuok, became a billionaire, now worth $2.1 billion. The three newcomers include Soergiarto Adikoesoemo, whose company is Asia Pacific’s biggest sorbitol maker; 42-year-old media magnate Hary Tanoesoedibjo; and Bambang Trihatmodjo, the son of former president Suharto. We broke out the fortune of Michael Hartono, whose wealth had previously been lumped in with that of his brother R. Budi, based on more detailed information on the siblings’ holdings. The fortune of Liem Sioe Liong’s family is now listed under son Anthoni Salim, who owns a greater portion of the holdings. Same case for Eka Tjandranegara, who takes his father’s spot.
A net worth of $120 million was needed to make the list, up from $80 million last year. 2006 rich lister Soedarpo Sastrosatomo passed away on Oct. 22. Net worths were calculated using Nov. 30 stock prices and exchange rates. Privately held companies were valued by comparing them with similar publicly traded companies. Any fortune not wholly owned by an individual is denoted with “& family.”
