“It was general knowledge that the rioting was engineered by Prabowo’s men. He wanted to show up Wiranto as incompetent, so that on Suharto’s return from Cairo, he (Prabowo) would be made chief of armed forces. By the time he returned from Cairo on 15 May, Suharto’s position was lost.” (From Third World to First. The Singapore Story (1965-2000). Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew, p. 317) “It was an immense personal tragedy for a leader who had turned an impoverished Indonesia of 1965 into an emerging tiger economy, educated his people and built the infrastructure for Indonesia’s continued development. At this crucial moment, the man who had been so good at judging and choosing his aides had chosen the wrong men for key positions. His mistakes proved disastrous for him and his country.” (From Third World to First. The Singapore Story (1965-2000). Memoirs of Lee Kuan Yew, p. 318) akhlisblog.wordpress/2014/07/12/prabowo-subianto-di-mata-lee-kuan-yew-3-habis/
