JAKARTA: The children of former president Suharto have offered an apology for his past mistakes, in a gesture made after a controversial People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) decision to remove his name from a decree on corruption, a decision that triggered concerns over attempts to absolve the authoritarian leader of past crimes.
On Saturday (Sept 28), the MPR invited Suharto’s family, represented by his two daughters, Siti “Tutut” Hardijanti Rukmana and Siti “Titiek” Hediati Hariyadi (pic), to receive a document that removed Suharto’s name from MPR Decree No. 11/1998.
