Let's take some lessons from the guy that raped the country, shall we? The guy whose kids owned about 500 companies with a total wealth around US$15 billion in their Austrian bank account, which should tell you how much he milked out of the Indonesian common plebs.
Then if you want a good lesson about how to deal with people you don't like, because they don't like you, read up on Timor Leste, or Papua.
Of course if you really want to find a good way to handle any dissenters, call them communists, and kill them all.
Don't worry if your income seems to be slumping. Just make sure all the money you leached is converted into offshore dollar accounts, and let the rupiah slide from Rp 2,600 to Rp 16,000 to the dollar, and you just made your local buying power go up 6-fold. Take a lesson from that you peasants!
The only people that still shout about Soeharto was the best thing since sliced bread, are those that stood to gain from him in the upper levels of society. Not so much if you were on the bottom of society, where your voice will never be heard.
The idea that Indonesia should take lessons from this character just tastes foul.
