Soeharto is dead.

“Our former president HM Soeharto has passed away around 13:10 (1710 AEDT),” Dicky Sondani, the sub-district police chief, told reporters at the hospital.

Soeharto, who was among Asia’s most notorious strongmen of the
20th century, stepped down in 1998 amid deadly riots and mass pro-democracy protests that were sparked by the 1997 Asian economic crisis.
Opinion on his rule remains divided in Indonesia, which also enjoyed dramatic economic growth under his rule.

I’ve also been increasingly thinking that these guys “don’t know nothing” about my condition. Be them doctors, Ph.D.’s,…
