Although Indonesia is only an inconspicuous country in the Asian plate, there are tens of millions of Chinese in this land. It is unimaginable that Suharto, the second leader of this land, made 500,000 Chinese suffer and die!
And not only was he not punished, but he also spent his old age "peacefully".
When Suharto was young, because his mother remarried many times, there were rumors that he was the illegitimate son of his mother and Chinese. These criticisms made Suharto full of hatred and disgust for the Chinese, and over time, his personality became gloomy and extreme.
Because his family was so poor, Suharto dropped out of school early to join the army as a teenager. With the ability to "know the time is handsome", he became popular in the army and eventually became the second president of Indonesia.
And this was also the beginning of his massacre of the Chinese.
The cruelty of his methods of slaughtering Chinese is simply greater than that of the Japanese. After the extremely brutal massacre, a total of 500,000 Chinese fell in a pool of blood.
Most of these Chinese who were slaughtered came here to do business and make a living. After the massacre, Suharto stuffed most of the wealth of these rich people into his own pockets, pretending to restore Indonesia's economic development.
But after slaughtering 500,000 people, Suharto still did not plan to let other Chinese go. He trumpeted in Indonesia that Chinese pigs and dogs are inferior, and planted the seeds of racial discrimination deep into the hearts of the Indonesian people, resulting in the phenomenon of Chinese exclusion.
Suharto's twisted heart was destined to make him a wise prince who could dedicate his life to his people, and his presidency was also obtained through improper means. How can such a person think about the development of the country?
During Suharto's two decades in office, about 76% of Indonesia's assets were transferred abroad through illegal money laundering and other means, and the suspected amount was tens of billions.
At that time, the people at the bottom of the country were still living a life with no stomach full, and Indonesia was poorer than African countries.
The main reason why Suharto was able to act so bold was that the country's military power was firmly in his hands. Even if someone wants to push him off the political scene and save the country from fire, they will be powerless in the face of absolute rights. During this period, whenever there were voices questioning him, he would point the finger at the Chinese and let the Chinese give him a black pot.
In the end, Suharto, who had suffered his own consequences, finally stepped down amid a chorus of scolding, and his corruption scandal was made public.
Faced with the trial of the Indonesian prosecutor's office, Suharto not only showed no remorse, but also refused all investigations on the grounds of illness until his death in the hospital in 2008. But man eventually pays for his mistakes, and his children and "cronies" are kicked out of politics, and some face jail time.
Time will pass slowly, but no wicked person will escape his crime in the cracks of history.
