1.Suharto’s body was taken from Jakarta to the Giri Bangun mausoleum complex near the Central Java city of Solo. He was buried alongside his late wife in a state military funeral with full honours, with the Kopassus elite forces and KOSTRAD commandos as the honour guard and pallbearers and Commander of Group II Kopassus Surakarta Lt.Colonel Asep Subarkah.

2.Soebarkah is how Subarkah used to be spelled in 1961. Bahasa Indonesia used “oe” at that time, but changed the spelling to eliminate Dutch influence. Which explains why people were born Soekaro and Soeharto but died as Sukarno or Suharto. Djakarta too changed into Jakarta (that is also reflected in these documents). Yes, Subarkah is a common Indonesian surname - one of the important military officers carrying Mr Suharto’s coffin was a Subarkah.
