JAKARTA, May 27 (Jakarta Post/ANN): The landslide victory of Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., the namesake son of the Philippines’ late dictator, in the May 9 presidential election has prompted questions over the fate of the Suharto clan in Indonesia, 24 years after the late president was toppled.

Soeharto family members have made repeated attempts in the past to get into politics, often seeking to tap into nostalgia about the perceived security and political order under Suharto’s military regime.
