Indonesia's first president and a founding figure of the non-aligned movement. At the Bandung conference in April 1955, he bristled at emerging-world countries being "the tools of others and the playthings of forces they cannot control". He is the father of a political rival of Prabowo Subianto, Indonesia's current president.
Prabowo has invoked the political set-up under Sukarno as a model for a permanent ruling coalition without opposition parties, arguing that it better reflects Indonesian culture than adversarial systems.
Worth seeing? Yes, but not worth going to see.
