Stictch,I read the article in the Irish Times with great interest and all I can say is that IMO troubles for Indonesia are not over. Without political and social reforms this is a country I rank "avoid" for now from an investment perspecive. If anything, I would invest in a company or group that is NOT linked to the Suharto clan in any way. I have no idea, though whether there are any of them in the first place, and how their financials look like. Betting on Suharto is futile: Sooner or later he'll be gone, and the longer it still takes for him to leave, the worse it will get for all near him and who'll survive him. In Romania, Cheaucescu was simply executed without any questions asked when his time ran out some years ago. I'm not saying that Suharto will face the same fate, but if worst comes to worst - and whoever is with him now will be in very dire circumstances then... JMHO, Thomas
