Habibie is now also accused of being involved in a widening corruption scandal starting with Bank Bali.

The situation is being complicated by other political figures now jumping back in to the fray.

The election of the a new president by the Indonesian parliament in Oct/Nov is going to be the culmination of a complex series of negotiations and maneuvers. Whoever ends up on top will want to use the parliamentary vote as a stamp of legitimacy.

SEATO was primarily a defense treaty organization formed after WW2, whereas ASEAN was formed primarily as a economic forum during the 70s(?), I believe.
