drol 11,797 Posted July 24 Hamzah Haz, Islamist-friendly VP of Indonesia, dead at 84. Was on my radar as he was hospitalised with multiple organ failure in 2020! Definitely gave the Reaper a good run for his money. I'd say he is not even the most immortal Indonesian VP. How is Try Fucking Sutrisno still alive? He looked like a decaying corpse two years ago. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
