Most of which would likely never be recovered, constituting a $35 billion theft that continues to haunt Indonesians till this day.

  1. How about making a documentary about your mother being involved in a communist organization called the CCP-NPA, and your scandal being prima donna at the airport, huh Atom 😂!

  2. This guy would be dissapear by next day after this video released during soeharto's time. Unfortunately it was indonesian's capital to be a developed country that he stole i hope his american friends and his descendants never be in peace

  3. Facilitated by the West. The money can be recovered if the Central Banks from the nations who cooperated and facilitated open up and allow financial research. The damage imposed by the IMF thanks to Michel Camdessus was much larger. The closing of Indonesian banks increased capital flight.

  4. This figure were responsible for many of lives and human crime tragedy also corruption of his own nation. Soeharto should drag in to International court for the brutal crime. as an Indonesian i am really ashamed has this man as president

  5. suharto, the stupidest dictator in se-asia. attended education only to drop out at year 5; succeeded in dismantling and swapping soviet-supplied modern weaponry with old western-supplied ex korean war and ww-II articles; the father of national corruption ; the father of slash-and-divide national unity: commoners are taught to be loyal not to motherland but to the then ruling golkar + in-military: army was so called the good boys and then got new defense articles and the navy and airforce were so called the stepchildren got mostly either old second hand or new ones in speck down state). java and Jakarta-centric development orientation; father of national family planning (successful baby farming from population 104 million (1966) to 210 people (1998) or an increase of 49%)

  6. Its very disappointing to see our muslim leaders are so corrupt and they dont even think about thr life after and day of judgement . all of them from indonesia, bangladesh, pakistan, afghanistan, egypt ,libya algeria central asian muslim states even iran all of these counties leaders are so corrupt they dont even think about thr people.

  7. Soeharto Antek CIA……

    Lebih banyak orang indonesia Yang mati di era soeharto, dibandingkan dengan Era Kekejaman PKI atau Penjajahan Belanda!

    Dia telah mewariskan banyak Masalah bagi Indonesia……

  8. Well, when stealing is ok, the Indonesian has never been taught how to be responsible and held any accountability in their action. Live is the same but a bit better I guess. I wish Jokowi could stay longer. Soeharto’s era showed how corrupt its soul and mind

  9. actually suharto stole so much more, with the help of his general they helped funnel 3 trillion, the bonds are currently being held by under the a loan to another country.

    D.I.N didnt do anything when they were alerted of this in 2019, including copied of the signatory of the bonds from Suharto to the another president.

    the nuegen hand report discusses this, and the information was freely given in 2019

    not to mention large amounts of shabu still continue to pass through the ports to their final destinations.

  10. he didn't corrupt that much. all people below him who corrupt, easily boo-ed him at the end and blame this man as responsible person for all their corrupted money. Also at least he's brave enough to risk his life and declare the end of his power instead of turning the whole nation into Libya. Even like that, East Timor was invaded by Australia.
