De-Sukarnoization

Sukarno

De-Sukarnoization, also spelled de-Soekarnoization,[1] was a purging policy that existed in Indonesia from the transition to the New Order in 1966 up to the beginning of the Reformation era in 1998, in which President Suharto intended to defame his predecessor Sukarno as well as lessen his presence and downplay his role in Indonesian history.
