. Suharto has been in power for 30 years, his rule bolstered by his cronies and a repressive army. A Trade Unionist is secretly interviewed in his hospital cell - he's on trial for 'subversion', and if found guilty, could face the death penalty. It's a measure of the insecurity of Suharto's undemocratic regime. Megawati supporters are beaten with batons by Indonesian troops at a demo. Megawati herself bemoans the violence. In contrast, some anti-Chinese demonstrations appear to have been actually organised by the government to deflect criticism for the current financial crisis onto the Chinese. Whilst Suharto's grasping children bask in almost Royal splendour, the poorest tell us they couldn't even buy Christmas presents. And even the middle class are speaking out. But Suharto continues to stage extravagant displays of his power and ignore the widespread discontent.
