Tycoon cousin of Suharto a wiser man after stroke

Business tycoon Sudwikatmono, a cousin and close ally of President Suharto, said he had become wiser and more religious after a stroke in 1995.

“I try to live in peace with everybody because I realise that we live only once,” said the 63-year-old, adding that the sickness had made him humbler and more active in charity activities.

Said a contented Sudwikatmono: “This is the time for us to relax. I love to drive my car, along with my wife, in the evening to go for movies.”
