File photo dated March, 1967 shows general Suharto, who was just appointed president of Indonesia, sitting for the first time in the presidential seat until then occupied by outgoing president Sukarno. Suharto, who died Sunday aged 86, was a ruthless dictator whose success presiding over huge economic progress was overshadowed by a legacy of bloodshed, human rights abuses and corruption on a colossal scale.
