Former President Soeharto Dies
General (retired.) Soeharto, the second Indonesian president, who has been in a very critical condition for few weeks, has died today in the RSPP (Rumah Sakit Pustat Peramina) hospital Jakarta. Indonesian government has decided to have a national mourning for seven days starting from now. He will be buried tomorrow morning in Astana Giribangun of Central Java as per his request. Yet, the possibility that he’ll be buried in Jakarta is not ruled out, reports Detik.com.
As a human being he deserves our prayer and forgiveness; and to his big family our condolences. May God rest his soul in peace. As a statement and politician who ruled Indonesia for 32-long years, he might make mistakes. Let the law decides and take decision based on justice for all.
