JAKARTA, April 5 – Golkar Party chairman Aburizal Bakrie today introduced two of former president Soeharto’s daughters at a campaign rally in Surabaya, the capital of East Java.
The presence of Titik and Siti Hardyanti at the rally was meant to attract supporters into voting for the party in the April 9 parliamentary elections.
“How are you? Wasn’t life better during the New Order and the Golkar era than now?” one of the Soeharos daughters, Siti Hedijati or Titik, said to supporters in her speech, as quoted by Antara news agency.
Titik also appealed to the people of East Java to vote for Golkar so that life would return to what it was during the 32 years of New Order government.
She said many people lived happily during the New Order government of former president Soeharto.
Golkar, which was the dominant party during the Soeharto era, had often promoted Soeharto’s phrases such as “Enak Jamanku”, which meant “Life is better during my era, isn’t it?”.
