A 
JAVANESE 
“KING” 
AND 
HIS 
CUKONG
One 
hankered 
after 
power, 
the 
other 
after 
money, 
and 
when 
they 
paired 
up 
they 
made 
a 
potent 
team 
that 
kept 
them 
on 
top 
in 
Indonesian 
politics 
and 
business 
respectively 
for 
three 
decades. 
President 
Suharto 
and 
Liem 
Sioe 
Liong 
worked 
very 
closely 
together, 
building 
a 
symbiotic 
relationship 
that 
resulted 
in 
huge 
beneïŹts 
for 
both. 
Liem, 
founder 
of 
the 
colossal 
business 
conglomerate 
known 
as 
the 
Salim 
Group, 
proved 
himself 
to 
be 
a 
reliable 
businessman 
and 
became 
Suharto’s 
main 
cukong
1
— 
a 
Chinese 
ïŹnancial 
backer 
who 
is 
given 
protection 
by 
powerful 
political 
or 
military 
leaders. 
In 
his 
rise 
from 
an 
itinerant 
peddler 
to 
Indonesia’s 
wealthiest 
businessman, 
Liem 
received 
patronage 
from 
several 
generals, 
but 
most 
importantly 
from 
Suharto 
himself. 
The 
strongman 
acquired 
unchecked 
and, 
for 
a 
long 
time, 
uncheckable 
power 
and 
until 
his 
shocking 
resignation 
in 
May 
1998, 
was 
one 
of 
the 
world’s 
longest-serving 
heads 
of 
government. 
In 
1983, 
sycophantic 
parliamentarians 
conferred 
on 
him 
the 
title 
Bapak 
Pembangunan
— 
“Father 
of 
Development”, 
which 
Suharto 
cherished, 
as 
he 
liked 
to 
claim 
that 
all 
his 
endeavours 
were 
for 
the 
good 
of 
the 
“common 
man”. 
But 
while 
he 
claimed 
to 
identify 
with 
the 
“
wong 
cilik
” 
(Javanese 
for 
“little 
people”), 
Suharto 
saw 
himself 
as 
possessing 
the 
wahyu
, 
sort
