Whats Wrong Whats WRight



AT the time 13.10 Indonesian’s clock (similar with 1 pm in Bangkok Thailand) at Sunday –Ahad Wage in Java’s calendar- 27th January 2008 in Jakarta, at the age of 86, the islands of Indonesia shuddered, because Soeharto was passed away. Retirement General Soeharto is the President for Indonesia’s 32 years – from 1966 until 1998. On the same time M. Jusuf Ronodipuro, one of the founders of state radio station RRI, passed away at the Gatot Subroto Army Hospital at about 11:20 p.m Sunday. He was 88. Born in 1920, Jusuf suffered a stroke in June 2007 and had been in and out of hospital since then. According to daughter Fatmi Ronodipuro, the burial will be held at the Kalibata National Heroes Cemetery in South Jakarta. Along with Bachtiar Lubis, Jusuf was the first person to read Indonesia's 1945 Proclamation of Independence on air. Jusuf requested then president Sukarno make a recording of the proclamation as historical proof of the event. The recording was made in 1950. Jusuf also coined the "Once on air, it remains on air" slogan of The Radio Republic of Indonesia (RRI), which remains in use today.
Soeharto is a ‘complete’ man, he has a good and bad on the both side, in the same time. United Nations and Worlbank prove that General Soeharto is a good leader on making improvement for the poor countries like Indonesia. Stability had been Suharto's gift to his country. By his ‘military perspective’ networking he make this country peace, but not for his opposition.
From the time.com released that Soeharto had come to power at the head of a junta of generals in 1965, overthrowing the country's flamboyant and charismatic first president, Sukarno, whose friendship with Beijing and predeliction for Communists in the government had brought the country to the brink of economic collapse and civil war. Sukarno born on June 6th of 1901, Suharto on 8th June 1921, after that his ‘golden boy’ retirement General Hartono born on 10th June 1941. The three mens’ different born exactly on 2 days 20 years. We call Soeharto or Suharto by “Pak Harto”. Pak or Bapak used to respectfully address a man, without regarding to his status or age. Similar to English Mr. (mister), Pak is usually followed by name. But for 1st President Soekarno or Sukarno we call him by “Bung Karno”, the word BUNG similar with ‘Bro” or “brother”.
To implementation what we call pro-indigenous people, Soeharto made a lot foreign debt to financing. How to react to Soeharto’s phenomena? Soeharto built Indonesia and we have him to thank for modern buildings, ports and harbors. He has made mistakes, and there were consequences for many, but he used that centralistic form of government to build things as fast as possible.

To understand what Pak Harto have done –whats wrong whats wright- when he lifed is by “Hart to Hart”. Harto closely to “heart to”. Understand him, but the law enforcement must keep on running
