It has been weeks that former Indonesian 'dictator' Soeharto or Suharto, suffers bad illness in Rumah Sakit Pusat Pertamina, or Pertamina Hospital. The media are always updating on his news, he's been major headlines in every papers and all breaking news in the TV is about him. Even his doctors team is always updating his condition to public thru press conferences in hospital.
He got sophisticated treatment and the best doctors. And who pay that? Government. Estimated hundreds million Rupiah is being spent for him. I'm questioning is that worth it? He's old now and ill, it's not that i'm being meany, but he's suffering, what's up with letting him undergo big pains. Say, that there are so many allegations and trials for him, well, he's old now, i don't think it's proper to put him in jail. And if we want our money that is corrupted back, there are still another alleged persons, and we can also track Suharto's investment, even without him.
HONORED AND AFFRONTED
Despite all the hatred, there are still so many people honor him. Indonesian knows that his governing regime is like Indonesia's best age. Needs are not as expensive nowadays. Everything was more safe. Even holiday for students are more many. Indonesia was at its best development
with him. Although he was governing more than a period in a row, which means he's 'dictating'. he also had a foundation called Supersemar that gave students college scholarship. Lately, in a trial against his foundation, that is alleged as corrupt, students who got his scholarship stand up for him and pray that he'll be recovered. Then the judges said that this is a trial, so there's no need to pray for anybody here. In so many areas, citizens are praying for him. BEM UI or Indonesia University Students Council was trying to do a peace demo in the hospital, altho finally they were told to go. What will be government next step remains mystery. Altho so many
politicians in government has stated that this nation should forgive him. The law must be stricten, but should we bother an old sick man in his deathbed? If there are still other good solutions, i think we should let him go. What he'll face later, won't be our business. We can just forgive him and let him go.

First when I heard that Indo people take care of some old dictator. But then I realised that any dictator is a human and life of every people is worth of much money and instantly realised how I felt when I watched Hussein execution. I knew how many bad things he did but when I saw old man with going-grey beard it was really touching.
You always say that Indo government is corrupted etc. but trust me, first years of democracy are always hard. First people who wants to rule, just want to have money and power. In Poland we have democracy for 18 years, and government which was elected few months ago, seems to be first normal governemt of Poland. So in two words: be patient :)
yeah, u're kinda right. esp that now he's passed away. and some ppl still want to sue him. but i just hope that's everything will be alright for him. i also hope that after his death, many things that remain mystery will be revealed and Indonesia will get the best.
