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.

When he came to power, Mr. Suharto refused at first to move into the presidential palace, saying he preferred to live in his own modest house in Jakarta. During his years as president, however, his homes became palatial.
Like his predecessor Sukarno, left, Mr. Suharto, right, worked to forge national unity in a fractious country of 200 million people comprising 300 ethnic groups speaking 250 languages and inhabiting more than 17,000 islands spread over a 3,500-mile archipelago.

Mr. Suharto and his family became notorious for controlling state enterprises and taking kickbacks for government contracts, for siphoning money from state charities, and for gross violations of human rights. At left, Mr. Suharto at the family's Tapos ranch in Bogor, West Java, Indonesia.

Maj. Gen. Suharto, left, in October 1965 with Gen. Sabur, commander of Sukarno's presidential guard. After 32 years as the leader of Indonesia, Mr. Suharto was forced from office in 1998. Mr. Suharto died from multiple organ failure on Jan. 27 at the age of 86.
Sukarno, left, fell from power in 1965 after an abortive leftist coup. Mr. Suharto, one of the few senior military officers to escape execution on the first day of that uprising, moved decisively against the insurgents and effectively took control of the country, but not before a blood bath left hundreds of thousands dead.

Emas Astana Giribangun & ledakan saat penggalian makam Soeharto
Reporter : Hery H Winarno
Minggu, 3 Maret 2013 08:57:38
Soeharto. ©repro Sekretariat Negara RI
Jauh sebelum meninggal pada 27 Januari 2008,
Soeharto telah memilih makam untuk dirinya. Meski berhak untuk dimakamkan di Taman Makam Pahlawan Kalibata,
Soeharto memilih untuk dimakamkan di Astana Giri Bangun, Karanganyar, Jawa Tengah.
Tidak sembarangan
Soeharto
memilih dimakamkan di tempat tersebut, kecintaannya pada sang istri,
Ibu Tien membuatnya Astana Giribangun dipilih sebagai tempat
peristirahatannya yang terakhir.
Makam ini dibangun di atas
sebuah bukit, tepat di bawah Astana Mangadeg, komplek pemakaman para
penguasa Mangkunegaran, salah satu pecahan Kesultanan Mataram. Astana
Mangadeg berada di ketinggian 750 meter dpl, sedangkan Giribangun pada
666 meter dpl. Di Astana Mangadeg dimakamkan Mangkunegara (MN) I alias
Pangeran Sambernyawa, MN II, dan MN III.
Dalam buku otobiografi, '
Soeharto,
Pikiran, Ucapan dan Tindakan Saya' yang diterbitkan tahun 1989,
Presiden Kedua Republik Indonesia tersebut berpesan kelak jika ajal
menjemputnya, dia minta untuk dimakamkan di Astana Giribangun. Hal ini
karena sang istri telah berpesan bahwa dirinya meminta untuk dimakamkan
dimakam keluarga tersebut kelak jika meninggal.
"Ia (Ibu Tien)
dengan Yayasan Mangadeg Surakarta sudah membangun makam keluarga di
Mangadeg, tepatnya di Astana Giribangun. Masa saya harus pisah dengan
istri saya. Dengan sendiri saya pun minta dimakamkan di Astana
Giribangun," ujar Soerharto dalam buku otobiografinya tersebut di
halaman 561.
Namun pembangunan makam di atas bukit itupun tidak lepas dari pergunjingan. Banyak yang menyebut bahwa
Soeharto menghiasi makam keluarga tersebut dengan emas. Isu itu pun segera dia bantah.
"Omongan
orang bahwa Astana Giribangun itu dihias dengan emas segala, omong
kosong. Tidak Benar. Dilebih-lebihkan. Lihat sajalah sendiri," ujar
Soeharto.
Yang benar, menurut
Soeharto,
bangunan itu berlantaikan batu pualam dari Tulung Agung. Sedangkan
kayunya memang diambil dari kayu-kayu berkualitas agar kuat dan tahan
lama.
"Pintu-pintu di sana yang dibuat dari besi adalah karya
pematung kita yang terkenal G Sidharta. Alhasil segalanya buatan bangsa
sendiri," terangnya.
Ledakan keras saat penggalian makam SoehartoBeberapa saat setelah RS Pusat Pertamina mengumumkan bahwa
Soeharto
meninggal dunia, Bupati Karanganyar saat itu beserta segenap Muspida
langsung menggelar rapat. Dalam rapat yang khusus membahas persiapan
pemakaman
Soeharto itu juga dihadiri oleh Bupati Wonogiri, Begug Purnomosidi, juga Sukirno, pegawai Astana Giribangun.
Keesokan
harinya, dilakukan upacara bedah bumi yang dipimpin langsung oleh Begug
Purnomosidi di Astana Giribangun. Upacara kecil itu sebagai permohonan
izin kepada Tuhan yang Mahakuasa agar arwah HM
Soeharto diterima. Setelah itu pun penggalian makam dimulai.
"Hantaman
linggis yang pertama menghujam, disusul hantaman yang kedua. Tepat pada
hantaman linggis yang ketiga tiba-tiba duarrrrrr. Terdengar suara
ledakan yang sangat keras bergema di atas kepala kami," ujar Sukirno
dalam buku 'Pak Harto Untold Stories' halaman 344.
Sukirno yang
kini menjadi juru kunci Astana Giribangun menyebut bahwa ledakan keras
tersebut tidak mirip suara petir, melainkan lebih mirip suara bom. Namun
di sekeliling Astana tidak ada yang porak poranda akibat ledakan keras
tersebut.
Semua orang yang berada di Astana langsung menengadah
ke atas mencari sumber dentuman keras atau mencari kerusakan. Namun
ledakan tersebut hanya seolah bunyi keras yang tidak meninggalkan bekas.
"Alhamdulillah,
ini mengisyaratkan bahwa Pak Harto benar-benar orang besar. Bumi
mengisyaratkan penerimaannya terhadap jenazah beliau," ujar Bupati Begug
kala itu.

Pengakuan Pak Harto soal Petrus
Soeharto malu baru disunat umur 14 tahun

Dari bayi hingga remaja,
Soeharto
kecil hidup berpindah-pindah. Kebanyakan menumpang pada keluarga atau
kenalan ayahnya. Masa kecil Presiden Republik Indonesia ke-2 ini pun
lekat dengan kemelaratan.
Setelah tamat sekolah rendah lima tahun di daerah Wuryantoro, Yogyakarta,
Soeharto
kemudian melanjutkan ke sekolah lanjutan rendah (schakel school) di
Wonogiri. Dia dan Sulardi, sepupunya, menumpang hidup di rumah kakak
perempuannya di Selogiri, 6 Km dari Wonogiri.
Nah pada masa itu pula
Soeharto disunat. Kira-kira tahun 1935, saat usianya sudah 14 tahun. Agak malu juga karena sudah terbilang tua untuk sunat.
"Terhitung sudah agak tua waktu saya disunat, yakni pada umur 14
tahun. Mungkin sebabnya cuma karena tidak gampang mengumpulkan biaya,"
kenang
Soeharto dalam biografi '
Soeharto, Pikiran, Ucapan dan Tindakan Saya' yang ditulis G Dwipayana dan Ramadhan KH.
Seperti lazimnya sunatan di Jawa, maka diikuti dengan syukuran. Namun
karena keterbatasan dana, syukuran yang digelar sangat sederhana.
Peristiwa itu sangat berkesan untuk
Soeharto.
"Bagaimana pun rasanya saya merasa gembira. Dan memang saya mesti bersyukur," kata
Soeharto.
Setelah disunat,
Soeharto merasakan pertumbuhan fisiknya melesat. Badannya tumbuh tinggi besar.
"Padahal apa yang disediakan untuk saya tetap sama. Makanan yang tersedia tidak bertambah," kenangnya.
Setelah disunat,
Soeharto kembali harus berpindah tumpangan. Kakak perempuannya bercerai. Maka terpaksa
Soeharto pindah ke Wonogiri dan menumpang pada teman ayahnya, seorang pensiunan pegawai kereta api bernama Hardjowijino. Di rumah ini
Soeharto ikut membersihkan rumah, belanja ke pasar, hingga menjual hasil kerajinan tangan Ibu Hardjo.
Soeharto pun memasak saat sore hari atau saat tidak bersekolah.
"Saya tidak mengeluh. Saya mendapat didikan yang bermanfaat, sangat
bermanfaat di rumah Pak Hardjowijono. Saya jadi pekerja, jadi tukang
yang akan bisa berdiri sendiri jika keadaan memaksa. Dan rasa-rasanya
saya bisa belajar dengan cepat melakukan hal itu," kata
Soeharto.
Tak ada yang menyangka, bocah yang telat disunat karena kurang biaya
itu akhirnya menjadi seorang pemimpin pasukan dan akhirnya menjadi
Presiden Republik Indonesia selama 32 tahun.

Soeharto jawab isu punya selir bintang film

Periode 1980an, beredar isu Presiden
Soeharto
selingkuh dengan bintang film cantik yang sedang ngetop kala itu. Semua
kalangan mulai dari ibu rumah tangga, mahasiswa, hingga kuli bangunan
membahasnya sambil bisik-bisik. Namanya era Orde Baru, ketahuan
membicarakan presiden selingkuh bisa-bisa ditangkap.
Bintang film itu berinisial R. Dia membintangi beberapa film era 70 dan 80an. Isu itu juga menyebutkan Ibu Tien
Soeharto mengamuk saat mengetahui suaminya selingkuh.
Soeharto menepis kabar perselingkuhan tersebut. Dia mengaku kabar angin tersebut dihembuskan untuk menjatuhkan dirinya menjelang Pemilu.
"Isu
itu menyebutkan seolah-olah saya, Presiden RI, mempunyai selir atau
simpanan bintang film terkenal. Isu itu rupanya sudah lama beredar dan
dibangkitkan lagi menjelang Pemilu 1982," bantah
Soeharto dalam autobiografi
Soeharto Pikiran Ucapan dan Tindakan Saya yang diterbitkan Cipta Lamtoro Gung Persada.
Soeharto mengaku terganggu dengan isu itu. Menurutnya dia sama sekali tidak kenal dengan R, bintang film itu.
"Isu
itu berkembang di tengah mahasiswa dan ibu rumah tangga. Padahal kenal
dan jumpa pun saya tidak pernah dengannya. Isu-isu semacam itu cuma
upaya buruk dari sementara pihak yang tidak suka pada saya," kata
Soeharto.
Soeharto lalu berkisah soal keluarganya yang harmonis dan sakinah. Menurut
Soeharto, cintanya hanya pada Tien seorang.
"Kami-istri dan saya, memang sama-sama setia, saling mencintai, penuh pengertian dan saling mempercayai," kata
Soeharto.

Pak Harto The Untold Stories. ©2013 Merdeka.com/repro/museum purna bhakti pertiwi
Presiden
Soeharto
hidup dengan memegang falsafah Jawa. Dia selalu merenungi
nasihat-nasihat yang kemudian dijadikannya prinsip hidup. Diresapinya
kalimat-kalimat yang mengandung arti kebajikan dan pesan itu.
Dari ayah tirinya Atmopawiro,
Soeharto mempelajari spiritual.
Soeharto selalu puasa Senin Kamis dan tidur di tritisan atau di bawah ujung atap di luar rumah.
"Pada masa itu saya ditempa mengenal dan menyerap budi pekerti dan
filsafah hidup yang berlaku di lingkungan saya. Mengenal agama dan tata
cara hidup Jawa," kata
Soeharto dalam biografi '
Soeharto, Pikiran, Ucapan dan Tindakan Saya' yang ditulis G Dwipayana dan Ramadhan KH.
Dari pamannya seorang mantri pertanian bernama Prawirodiharjo,
Soeharto mempelajari hidup sebagai petani yang harus selaras dengan alam. Prinsip-prinsip hidup semasa kecil terus diamalkan
Soeharto hingga dia menjadi pejabat.
Akhirnya,
Soeharto yang anak seorang petugas irigasi, bisa menjadi presiden kedua Republik Indonesia. Selama 32 tahun,
Soeharto memimpin Indonesia dengan pro dan kontra.
Apa saja prinsip hidup
Soeharto yang menjadikannya sukses?
