Former Indonesian dictator Suharto is in a critical condition in a Jakarta hospital.
The 86-year-old was admitted to Pertamina hospital yesterday suffering from anaemia and low blood pressure.
Suharto fell ill earlier in the week at his home, which he has rarely left since mass protests and economic turmoil in 1998 ended his 32-year rule.
His six children and a stream of high-profile officials have been visiting him since.
Suharto has been in and out of hospital for various ailments in recent years, including at least two strokes and stomach problems.
He steered Indonesia from being a fractious economic backwater to an icon of development, until the 1997 Asian economic crisis unravelled much of the progress and exposed the devastating impact of corruption.
Suharto has been accused of being one of the 20th century's worst kleptocrats by amassing billions of dollars for himself, his family and cronies while in power.
A criminal trial against him was abandoned on health grounds, though a civil suit is currently being heard.
The government is seeking $1.4bn in damages and returned assets allegedly accrued through a charitable foundation Suharto chaired while in power.
