After months of public debate, the government officially bestowed the title of National Hero on former president Soeharto. It’s a decision that has not gone down well with many who can’t look past Soeharto’s flaws.

Happy National Heroes Day, nonetheless. Read on for more on this story below.

Cheers,

Andra
