GIANYAR - The daughter of the 2nd President of the Republic of Indonesia Soeharto, Siti Hediati or Titiek Suharto, expressed her gratitude for Suharto's proposal to become a national hero.
"Alhamdulillah. Thank you for the realization," said Titiek, Monday, October 27.

Previously, the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) together with the Central Title Research and Research Team (TP2GP) proposed Suharto as a national hero.
Minister of Social Affairs Saifullah Yusuf has submitted a proposal file for a candidate to receive the title of national hero to the Chairman of the Council for Titles, Services, and Honorary Signs (GTK) of the Republic of Indonesia as well as Minister of Culture Fadli Zon on Tuesday (21/10).
In total there are 40 names proposed for the title of national hero, some of whom are former President of the Republic of Indonesia Suharto, former President Abdurrahman Wahid or Gus Dur and Marsinah activities.
In addition to the three names, the names of religious and regional leaders such as Syaikhona Muhammad Kholil from Madura, Bisri Syansuri, Muhammad Yusuf Hasyim, and two retired generals M. Jusuf from South Sulawesi and Ali Sadikin from Jakarta also appeared.
This proposal comes from the community through the regional study team (TP2GD), then filtered and reviewed by the central team (TP2GP) at the Ministry of Social Affairs.
After going through a long process involving scientific studies and seminars, the names were submitted to the Dewan Degree for further assessment.
