President Suharto ruled Indonesia for more than three decades, before mounting opposition forced him to step down.

His autocratic style brought economic growth, but against a background of corruption and human rights abuses.

Now, following multiple organ failure, doctors have put the 86-year-old's chances of survival at 50 per cent, and told his family to prepare for the worst.

As a result, many Indonesians have begun to reassess his time in power.

Step Vaessen reports.

  • yea everything was cheaper under suharto, including human rights

  • No mention of US backing and military support for this monster? Thanks to Kissinger, Carter, Reagan and Bush I, 1/3 of the Timorese population was killed and tortured at the hands of Suharto's military.
