Guess What? Wiranto

Guess What? Wiranto

Former Indonesian military chief Gen. (ret.) Wiranto, who is
linked to mass violence in East Timor last year, plans to record
a pop album and give proceeds to the victims of bloodshed in his
troubled country.

Wiranto's debut album, For You My Indonesia, will consist of
10 all-time Indonesian sentimental songs, hand-picked by the
former coordinating minister for political affairs and security,
who was sacked from cabinet this year -- a few months after
losing his job as military chief. The album is scheduled to be
launched on Sunday's evening at the Shangri-La Jakarta.

Born on July 7, 1947 in Yogyakarta, Wiranto's career has
skyrocketed after serving as Soeharto's adjutant from 1989
through 1993.

The graduate of the National Military Academy in Magelang in
1968 was the Jakarta military commander from 1993 to 1996 before
being promoted commander of the Army's strategic reserve command.
He was promoted Army chief in 1997 and promoted to Armed Forces
commander in 1998. (Reuters)
