A dictator humbled by health

Suharto’s health worsens with each passing day

Life they say is a great leveler. And nothing proves the old adage more than the condition of Indonesia’s former ruler Suharto. The once strongman of a Asia, now lies on a hospital bed in a vegetative state. Suharto who in his heydays ruled Indonesia with an iron hand, is now incapable of even digesting juices. Mardjo Soebiandono, the head of doctors’ team attending Suharto in a statement said that “(Suharto’s) general condition is showing regression again. He developed problems with his digestive system.” One of the most corrupt and brutal leaders of our times, Suharto is blamed by Transparency International of embezzling more than $35 billion during his imposing 32-year rule.

He was anointed to power in the mid-1960s with the tacit support from America & Australia.
