"Many crises have shaped him into a strong and honest figure," the narration goes on, with images of the May 1998 riot.

After images of the riot, then comes Soeharto's image, leader of the New Order, fastening what is probably a medal on Wiranto's uniform. Next to the image were the words: 'President Soeharto gives General Wiranto a chance to take the lead.'
