Significance with Suharto's life and family

Suharto was born to a 'poor but not unimportant farmer's family' in the village. His father, Kertosudiro, was a local irrigation official in charge of overseeing the allocation of water to different farmers in Kemusuk. His mother, Sukirah, was a village woman from a nearby hamlet.^[1]

The Suharto family have returned to the village on various occasions in recent years.

Suharto himself, accompanied by members of his family, made a trip to Kemusuk in 2002 to pay respects to his father's grave. At the time Suharto's younger step-brother, Notosuwito, had a house in the village near the graveyard in the Kepoh area.^[2] More r Haji Mohammad Suharto - VEL
