What is so special about Ginandjar?

What is so special about Ginandjar?

From Rakyat Merdeka

Former minister of mines and energy Ginandjar Kartasasmita won his case in court. Yet there must have been some loopholes that they made use of or otherwise they resorted to acts of trickery. It is not a public secret any more that he was one of the spearheads of the Soeharto regime. Several other graduates from the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) also lived in prosperity while Ginandjar was in power.

I was wondering: What the hell is it that makes the former army top brass stay too long in office? Is he playing for time? As far I know, an army officer retires at the age of 55 years. He is now already 60, why the hell is he still there? Is this another set of maneuvers to protect the Soeharto family?

The Jakarta Police chief, a major general, is about to retire soon. Subagyo HS, too, retired at 55. Is it another example of cronyism and nepotism? The Attorney General must proceed! This is not for President Abdurrahman Wahid, but for the public's sake. The army must give clarification of his delayed retirement to the public. What is so special about Ginandjar?.

If the authority is incapable of proving that the Soeharto regime is corrupt, than it is simply stupid. Leave the matter to the people! They have made detailed records of the big shots during the Soeharto regime, among others those who managed to escape and are now on the political stage.
