Of the names of the generals who were targeted for assassinations during the G30S incident, Suharto does not appear. Major General Soeharto himself served at the time as commander of the Darar Force Strategic Reserve Command (Pangkostrad).

Later controversies arose. Soeharto is said to be one of the people suspected of being involved in the bloody G30SPKI incident.

The controversy over Suharto’s alleged participation in the G30S is written in Abdul Latief’s book, Pledoi Kol. A. Latief: Soeharto participated in the G30S. In his book, Latief admitted that he had come and told Suharto before the night of September 30, 1965. Latief spoke about plans to kidnap the generals.

“Sir, tonight we, several companies of troops, will move to bring the generals of the members of the Council (of the Revolution) before the president,” Latief said in the book Pledoi Kol. A. Latief: Soeharto participated in the G30S.

Colonel Abdul Latif is one of the witnesses to the G30S incident. It is said that he is one of the people involved in the massacre of the generals. Latief was involved in several meetings before the bloody night of September 30, 1965 occurred.

So, it becomes an important question where was Pak Harto (Soeharto) on the fiery night of September 30, 1965?

That night, Suharto was at the Gatot Subroto Army Central Hospital (RSPAD). He accompanied his youngest son, Hutomo Mandala Putra, or who was intimately called Tommy Soeharto, who was being treated at the Army Hospital for spills of hot soup.

“September 30, 1965. At approximately nine o’clock in the evening, my wife and I were at the Gatot Subroto Hospital. We visited our son. Tommy, who was four years old, was treated there because he was burned by the hot soup. , is known to take care of children who are everyone’s favorite “, quoted from Suharto’s book: My Thoughts, Sayings and Actions, written by G. Dwipayana and Ramadhan KH

A senior researcher in the field of History and Politics at the Indonesian Science Institute (LIPI) also expressed the same opinion, Asvi Warman Adam. Based on the results of his investigation, Asvi agreed that Soeharto was at the Gatot Subroto Military Hospital that night.

“He (Suharto) was in the hospital, because his son Tommy was treated there for the spilled soup. And Latief visited him in the hospital. If that’s clear,” Asvi said during a chat with Okezone recently.

Furthermore, Asvi admitted that he had not received valid evidence regarding Suharto’s whereabouts until the morning of October 1, 1965.

“Oh no, we don’t know until tomorrow. He went back home and reportedly received the first information from his neighbor who later became Minister of Education, who was from Mashuri, who told him why there was something, a shot or something, “Asvi explained.

Based on a book entitled Soeharto: My Thoughts, Sayings and Actions, written by G. Dwipayana and Ramadhan KH, it is noted that Suharto had returned home. Soeharto came home around 12:15 WIB.

“At about ten at night, I saw Colonel Latif walking in front of the zaal where Tomy was being treated,” Suharto explained, quoted from a book written by G. Dwipayana and Ramadhan KH.

“At approximately quarter past twelve at night my wife told me to hurry home with Jalan Haji Agus Salim because she remembered Mamik, our youngest daughter, who was only one year old,” he added.
