Soeharto was the second President of Indonesia, serving from 1967 until his resignation in 1998. He rose to power following a military coup that ousted President Sukarno and led a regime characterized by a strong military presence in governance and significant human rights abuses. His administration is notable for its implementation of the 'New Order' policies, which aimed at economic modernization but also involved authoritarian rule and suppression of political dissent.
