Indonesia's former president Soeharto looked healthy and happy when he welcomed former Singapore premier Lee Kuan Yew, who became one of his closest regional partners while in power, at his private residence Thursday.
Dressing in batik, Soeharto smiled at Lee and they shook hands before holding a closed-door conversation at the living room.
Soeharto was accompanied by daughters Siti Hardiyanti Rukmana and Siti Hutami Adiningsih.
When the meeting ended around 30 minutes later, Sohearto walked his guest out of the living room and they posed for the waiting photo journalists.
Soeharto, 86, resigned in May 1998 following nationwide protests against his corrupt regime during 32 years in power.
But attempts to try his corruption case met an end after the Supreme Court declared him medically unfit for trials.
However, the Attorney General's Office (AGO) last month announced a plan to bring the graft case of his foundations to the commercial court to demand a compensation of 11.5 trillion rupiah (about 1.2 billion U.S. dollars).
