Anyone hoping for an imminent demise or a quick death, it seems, will not have those prayers answered. It has been reported throughout the day that the former dictator's health is improving after dialysis and a blood transfusion...
As noted in the previous post it is unlikely that any improvement in health is ever going to be enough to restart any legal actions against the old fella! This is confirmed in the apparent lack of political will for a prosecution with the statement of the Speaker of the Parliament, Agung Laksono, suggesting all legal actions should be abandoned on humanitarian grounds. Too bad the same amount of humanitarianism was not shown in the suppression of public and political opposition to the former strongman's rule when he was in power.
However, it is worth noting that it is also being reported that plans and preparations for a funeral have been made. The burial will be in the family plot next to his wife, Ibu Tien (Siti Hartinah), who passed onto the next world in 1996. The family plot is in Astana Giribangun - Surakarta, Central Java.
