Former president passes away after being critically ill for more than a month.
Published On 27 Jan 2008
Suharto was forced to step down in 1998 amid riots and mass pro-democracy protests sparked by the Asian economic crisis in 1997.
His illness had fuelled a debate over whether to push ahead with legal action against him for alleged corruption during his term as president.
