INDONESIAN STUDENTS SHARE KNOWLEDGE
Columbus Dispatch, The (OH) - Monday, September 11, 1989
Author: Eileen Dempsey, For The Dispatch
About 350 Indonesians studying in America had a chance to share what they have learned with their homeland at a conference over the weekend at Ohio University.
The national Indonesian Student Conference attracted students from across the nation as well as the Indonesian economic planning chief.
Mackmud (aka Machmud) Subarkah , director of the agency that is planning Indonesia's development for the next 25 years, was sent by Indonesian President Suharto to hear what the students had to offer.
The students’ 60 research papers and discussions focused on the role of science and technology in national development. The ideas presented will be summarized in a book that will be given to top planning officials in Indonesia, said Andre Burhanudin, an Ohio University business undergraduate.
“The students are trying to contribute to the future of their country,” said Burhanudin. “As an Indonesian, I want to help my country by giving my ideas.”
The conference was the first of its kind on a national scale. A university-produced video report about the conference aired on Indonesian National Television, which has a viewing audience of 100 million people.
After Suharto saw a 10-minute advance on the conference, which included interviews with the student organizers and university President Charles Ping plus a statement by Ambassador Abdul Rachman Ramly, he decided to send his economic planning chief here.

“On 9 July 2007, Indonesian prosecutors filed a civil lawsuit against former President Suharto, to recover state funds 0 m or £219 m, which allegedly disappeared from a scholarship fund, and a further .1 billion in damages.”

Excellent info maggie.
Who knows. But it all smells 24/7. Maybe we should be looking in libraries. I think they purge the internet every single day. There are so many people close to Obama’s inner circle who work at Google.
It’s incredible how many links disappear, go nowhere or are uncached.
The following was one of the results on google which went nowhere:

Could the new name,Soebarkah/Subarkah, be Soetoro/Sutoro mothers maiden name?....Many societies use both parents family/tribal names in official records.
