The Smiling General


Suharto, The Smiling General.


My idol is Suharto, born 8th June 1891-27th January 2008. He was an Indonesian army officer and politician, who served as the second and the longest serving president of Indonesia. He's known as "The Smiling General" because of the smile he has. His 32-year dictatorship is considered one of the most brutal and corrupt of the 20th century, having embezzled an alleged US$15–35 billion during his rule.


The reason why I have Suharto as my idol is because how great he lead Indonesia back then. By how he act to the citizens, how comfortable the citizens, and how firm the punishment for a criminal.



Quotes from suharto

"Many work, without demanding payback, to save human welfare."
