JAKARTA, Feb 28 — Indonesia’s outgoing president today awarded Prabowo Subianto, his presumed successor and an ex-special forces commander, the country’s highest military honour.
Defence Minister Prabowo swept the February 14 election to replace President Joko Widodo with nearly 60 per cent of votes, according to unofficial vote tallies and an ongoing preliminary count by the national poll body.
Prabowo, who was honourably discharged from the military amid allegations of human rights abuses in 1998, is only the seventh person to receive the title of a four-star honorary general after the end of strongman Suharto’s rule in the same year.
President Joko Widodo, who is set to leave office in October, handed the distinction to him at an event with the country’s military and police in Jakarta.
