Prabowo Subianto Joyohadikusumo, reigning under the name of Emperor Prabowo of Indonesia is the current Emperor of Indonesia. He is the oldest Indonesian Emperor when he took office. Although he is very old, according to fanatical ladies and womans, he still looks young. And to his loyal followers, he looks very cute.
Early life[edit | edit source]
Prabowo is the son of the noble Joyohadikusumo clan. His father, Sumitro Joyohadikusumo was the finance minister in the era of Emperor Suharto and his grandfather was the founder of Bank Nasional Indonesia (BNI). So, it is certain that Prabowo has lived in peace since childhood and his stomach has been filled with healthy and nutritious food, of course because Prabowo is a Muslim, he is forbidden to eat pork.
Military career[edit | edit source]
Prabowo became a member of the military from 1970 to 80s, and his closeness to Emperor Suharto made him quickly rise to a higher rank. He then also married Emperor Suharto's daughter, Titiek. It is said that Titiek is very beautiful and sexy, which caused Prabowo to quickly fall in love with her. In addition, the young Prabowo was not yet a fatman, and still had a sixpack, so Titiek was very crazy about Prabowo.
Conflict in the military[edit | edit source]
As the Emperor from the military path, Suharto demanded his generals to be competitive in seizing the position as his heir. It is said that in the Indonesian military, there are three best candidates to be the successor to Emperor Suharto: General Wiranto, General L.B. Moerdani, and General Prabowo, who served as Commander of Kostrad (Indonesian Army Strategic Reserve Command).
Attempt to kidnap L.B. Moerdani[edit | edit source]
It is said that Prabowo once tried to kidnap L.B. Moerdani, one of Suharto's leading generals, but the attempt failed or was not continued. The motive is unclear, perhaps so that Prabowo could get a better position in the military, or his ambition to inherit the throne of the aging Suharto. However, Prabowo later rejected this story and said that it was just a fairy tale of the ancients, like the Arabian Nights mixed with Journey to the West with a touch of Tales of Genji.
Relationship with A.H. Nasution[edit | edit source]
Although Emperor Suharto was close friends with General Abdul Haris Nasution, the relationship broke down midway through his reign, for various reasons that you can read about in history books. General Nasution became one of the senior military who actively criticized Suharto's New Order, and called Suharto a crazy old military man who did not understand democracy, and gave right-wing Nationalist doctrine to his students. Although he had been given the title of Great General by Suharto, the relationship between General Nasution and the Emperor had not improved, like water and oil.
Putting aside the Emperor's relationship with General Nasution, Prabowo, who was the Emperor's son-in-law, had a fairly close relationship with Nasution. This would later lead to suspicions of Prabowo during the riots at the end of Suharto's reign.
Indonesian invasion of East Timor[edit | edit source]
Prabowo took part in the Indonesian invasion of East Timor and in the 1980s. Prabowo was said to use the "Shinra Tensei" skill and was accused of being the mastermind behind the Kraras Massacre. Therefore, Prabowo, by the Most Human Rights-Compliant Country, The United States of ÆmericAAAAAA, was given the title of "Human Rights Violator" or "Nagato of Indonesia".
“Itami o kanjiro
Itami o kangaero
Itami o uketore
Itami o shire
Itami o shiranu mono ni honto no heiwa wa wakaran
Shinra Tensei !!!”– General Prabowo at Timor
Fall of Suharto[edit | edit source]
After the Monetary Crisis in 1997, Indonesia, which was soon to become a developed country, was forced to collapse in a matter of months. Famine and protests were rampant. It was said that this was one of the United States' tactics to prevent the emergence of a new superpower. But this is only a theory, but is considered by Indonesians as a fact.
Kidnapping of activists[edit | edit source]
In the run-up to the 1998 riots, Prabowo received a warrant to kidnap and interrogate a number of pro-democracy opposition activists who were strongly opposed to the New Order's policies at the time. Prabowo eventually formed the Rose Team, and kidnapped at least 20 activists. After interrogating them, Prabowo then released them.
However, 13 activists are still reported missing, and they have never been found. Prabowo claims that he does not know their fate, and Munir Said Thalib, an activist who may have known the secret behind it, was killed several years later.
Mastermind of the 1998 riots[edit | edit source]
Prabowo was accused of being the mastermind behind the 1998 riots, which would eventually lead to Suharto's downfall. However, Prabowo strongly denied the accusations, cursing those who made them, saying that at the time, he was only following orders. This reinforced claims that there were spies in the military who might have been powerful enough to give Prabowo orders. However, Suharto later agreed to step down in May 1998.
May 1998 coup[edit | edit source]
After Suharto's fall, Emperor Habibie was named his heir apparent. This sparked resentment among military officials who may have thought they were Suharto's rightful successors, one of whom may have been Prabowo. L.B. Moerdani was aging like an oak tree, while Wiranto had been given the post of Defense Minister.
Perhaps because he was disappointed that Habibie chose Wiranto over him, and because he was jealous of Wirato (is this a sign of the NTR genre?), in May 1998, several days after Habibie's inauguration, Prabowo instructed that Kostrad troops be concentrated around Habibie's residence and the Merdeka Palace. Wiranto, seeing this as a chance to prove himself to the new Emperor, told the Emperor. Emperor Habibie, worried about his family, immediately ordered Prabowo to be removed from his position as Kostrad commander before sunset that day.
Discharge from the military[edit | edit source]
Concurrently with the kidnapping of activists, and his attempted coup against Emperor Habibie, Prabowo was later discharged from the military on the grounds of "misinterpreting orders". He then moved to Bandung and became a writer and businessman. He also later founded the Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra).
Political career[edit | edit source]
In 2009, when he was busy doing business, collecting and stacking money, an offer came to accompany Emperor Megawati to win the throne. He agreed, and became Megawati's deputy. However, Megawati–Prabowo was later defeated by Emperor SBY.
In 2014, he and Hatta Rajasa, one of his friends, ran for the throne as the successor to Emperor SBY. However, he was defeated by Emperor Jokowi, his rival. In 2019, he faced Jokowi again, but he was defeated again. Even so, he later accepted the position of Minister of Defense.
In 2024, he ran again, together with Prince Fufufafa, the son of Emperor Jokowi. He ran against Ganjar–Mahfudz who were supported by Emperor Megawati, and Abah Anies–Cak Imin who were supported by the "Anak Abah". He succeeded in building his image as a cute, patient fat person and was elected in 2024 with the support of Emperor Jokowi.
Reign (since 2024)[edit | edit source]
Prabowo was inaugurated as Emperor on October 20, 2024. He emphasized that he would fight corruption, even though it should have been his duty. His inauguration was attended by other influential clans in Indonesia. The public was quite skeptical of his government, but they had already voted for his face in the last election. What can we do, we are just ordinary people.
It is said that Prabowo is the first President who will be based in the new capital Capital City of Nusantara.
