Twenty-seven years ago today, on May 21, 1998 (April 26, 1998), Indonesian President Suharto announced his resignation. Indonesian President Suharto (left 1) announced his resignation and handed over power to Vice President Habiyibi (left 2) On May 21, 1998 at 10 am, at the presidential palace in Jakarta, Indonesia, President Suharto gave a radio address to the Indonesian people: "I am very concerned about the development of the domestic situation, especially the enthusiasm of the people for reform. In order to ensure the stability and unity of our country and stable development, I have announced the establishment of a reform committee and reshuffled the cabinet. But today's facts show that the reform committee cannot be established due to the lack of consensus, and the reform plan proposed earlier is not accepted by the people. According to the current situation, I can no longer continue to lead the people of our country and promote the development of our country. Therefore, according to our country's 1945 constitution, and carefully considering the opinions of the House of Representatives and the leaders of various factions, I have decided to resign as President of Indonesia. I have submitted my resignation to the House of Representatives in the morning. According to Chapter 8 of the 1945 Constitution, Vice President Habibi will succeed as President until 2003! "Suharto, who has been in power for 32 years, has finally let go of the burden of the president! In fact, President Suharto's resignation is what was expected in the development of the situation in Indonesia in the past two days: On May 18, the President of the Indonesian Parliament, Hamokhu, developed an unexpected statement in the press office of the Parliament Building. He said: "In the current situation, both the speaker and the deputy speaker of the National Assembly hope that the president will resign wisely for the unity and harmony of the country." When the speaker read the statement, the reporters and representatives present cheered, while the speaker looked pale after reading the statement and immediately left the press office; outside the Capitol, when the speaker's statement came out, more than 5,000 people stranded there sang and danced with joy!
