(21 May 1998) T/I: 10:32:28
Students occupying the Indonesian parliament erupted in shouts of "Freedom at last" Thursday (21/5) amid wild jubilation as they celebrated the end of Suharto's 32-year rule.
Many, however, called for continued protests, saying they could not accept Suharto protege and vice president Bacchruddin Habibie who took the oath of office immediately after Suahrto
stood down. In the meantime, the influential Muslim leader Amien Rais declared his support for the new leader, Habibie, who he described as a man who could discern between good and evil.
