His career is marked with dedication, having enlisted in the ranks of the Indonesian Army at the age of 19. Today, at 45, he is a full general and commands the nation's armed forces. Some people believe he also commands President Sukarno. He is shown here posing in uniform.

Indonesia - Politics - Former President Suharto
Former Indonesian president Suharto waves to journalists shortly after being visited by former prime minister of Malaysia Mahatir Muhammad. The Attorney General may drop its plan to re-examine former president Suharto to determine whether he is fit to stand trial because it could cost too much money. Past efforts to bring Suharto to court on corruption and human rights charges have been derailed by a statement from a team of government doctors, which said the former president was unfit to stand trial because of brain damage and permanent injury to his nervous system.
