Suharto before and during his 32 years of authoritarian rule, which ended in the late 1990s. The two became friends when Gen. Suharto was still on his way up in the ranks of the military. When Gen. Suharto took control of the country in the 1960s and was looking for ways to develop the economy, he often turned to his friend Mr. Liem, effectively giving him control of key profitable businesses, analysts said.
