When Suharto became acting President of Indonesia in 1967, his unique blend of forcefulness and Javanese political subtlety was already manifest. The ousting of President for Life Sukarno, the nationalist founder of the country, took two years and, through an accompanying anti-communist purge, claimed as many as 500,000 lives. But Suharto, an obscure general from a hardscrabble village in central Java, led an outwardly modest life. He and his late wife Siti Hartinah (Madam Tien) initially lived in a simple bungalow in the Menteng district of Jakarta and drove a 1964 Ford Galaxy. That was in marked contrast to Sukarno, the self-styled God-King, with his grand presidential palace and his glamorous third wife Dewi, a former Japanese hostess at Tokyo's Copacabana nightclub. http://www.time.com/time/asia/asia/magazine/1999/990524/cover3.html *OIL AND LAND* The Suharto reach extended well beyond the foundations' interests, and few deals were more lucrative than the family's oil businesses. In his first decade in power, Suharto allowed state oil conglomerate Pertamina to be run as a private fief by its founder Ibnu Sutowo, a former general once known as the second most powerful man in Indonesia. Sutowo's plan to build a huge tanker fleet for Pertamina brought it to the brink of financial collapse in 1975. He was fired the following year, though it wasn't clear whether the cause was mismanagement or his political ambitions. Now 84, Sutowo tells TIME it was neither. He says Suharto asked him in 1976 to set up a second trading company to ship Indonesian crude oil to Japan. He said to me, 'I want you to take $0.10 for every barrel traded by the new company,' Sutowo recalls. When I said no, I think he was shocked. http://www.time.com/time/asia/asia/magazine/1999/990524/cover4.html *CHILDREN OF FORTUNE* For years, Indonesia's corruption was the kind of petty favor-buying and commission-giving commonly found in the developing world. Two factors pushed the country into a league of its own. The first was Indonesia's position as an up-and-coming star performer in the Asian economic miracle, which brought a cascade of funds pouring into businesses and real estate. The World Bank estimates that between 1988 and 1996, Indonesia received more than $130 billion in foreign investment. All this has been possible under the eyes of the West, which supported Suharto for 30 years, says Carel Mohn, spokesperson for Transparency International, a non-governmental organization based in Berlin. http://www.time.com/time/asia/asia/magazine/1999/990524/cover5.html When the Suharto regime fell, the children used their influence to extricate themselves from ailing businesses and debts. In April 1994, Tommy launched the Goro supermarket chain with two of his companies and the Central Village Cooperative, a large, government-run farmers' organization. Together they borrowed more than $100 million in loans, according to Bank Bumi Daya records. No repayments were ever made on the loans. On May 4, 1998, Tommy sold his shares to the farmers and their cooperative for $112 million in cash, saddling them with the entire debt. The children were very wild, says Ibnu Hartomo, younger brother of Madam Tien. It seems that they have forgotten about ethics. Angry mobs burned down one Goro store in south Jakarta during riots in May 1998, a week before Suharto resigned.

Sorry, gue nggak paham apa yang dimaksud dengan politik klaim dan seolah-olah.. tapi menurut gue sich sebaiknya kita lebih memperhatikan hal yang bermanfaat ke depan saja. Masih banyak masalah yang harus dibenahi ketimbang mendebat masalah apakah Pak Harto harus dihukum apa tidak. Makanya usulan pak Muzamil Yusuf dari PKS yang mengatakan bahwa pak Harto boleh tidak dihukum asalkan pengusutan harta Suharto tetap jalan, itu adalah usulan yang masuk akal. Paling nggak dari situ secara de jure pak Harto memang tidak dihukum karena masalah kemanusiaan dan kesehatan yang tidak memungkinkan, namun secara de facto keabsahan harta beliau tetap kita pertanyakan. Gue jadi optimis nantinya sebentar lagi kita akan memiliki UU Pembuktian terbalik nich.. TApi yang penting adalah istilah politik klain dan seolah-olah itu, itu apaan sich Istilah baru nich... irwank [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 5/13/06, irwank [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Benarkah Eyang Harto hanya terkait dengan 7 Yayasan saja?
