Firdaus Oemar

Firdaus Oemar has been publishing books for 50 years. As he grew older, he continued to actively promote literacy to families in remote villages.

Firdaus was initially forced into the world of book publishing and literacy because of his father, Oemar Bakry, who wanted Firdaus to continue the family business: the Mutiara Sumber Widya publishing and printing company that Oemar had founded in Jakarta. At first, Firdaus was not interested in books. But over time, his interest grew and developed into love, and he has since been an active promoter of publishing in Indonesia.
