 CNN.com - Indonesia celebrates Sukarno's anniversary - June 6, 2001
With President Wahid sitting at her side, Rachmawati openly accused her sister's party of violating Sukarno's principles of democracy and nationhood, and also denounced attempts to impeach President Wahid.

It seems appropriate then that Indonesians celebrate the anniversary of Sukarno's birthday and not his death, politically defeated and humiliated.
