It’s undeniable that the old dude has incredible charisma – no matter what he did wrong, people would still flock to him. The fact that the law hasn’t touched him is a proof that he’s still in power.
I rest my case!! 🙂

It’s undeniable that the old dude has incredible charisma – no matter what he did wrong, people would still flock to him. The fact that the law hasn’t touched him is a proof that he’s still in power.
Our genius vice president said that “we Indonesian need to respect our past leaders” – well, I assume that translates to “we can’t bring Suharto to justice”.
Oh, brother… we’re getting waaaay behind other countries, we’re probably in the wrong gear: Reverse.
