Prabowo Subianto, 72, was one of Indonesia's most feared and despised men 25 years ago. He was the son-in-law of late tyrant Suharto and has been accused of ordering the abduction, torture, and murder of democracy activists. However, in widely circulated social media clips, he has boosted his public image as a cute dancing grandad. The videos show him doing comedically bad dad-dancing and have gone viral in Indonesia. He has also produced large billboards portraying him as a smiling cartoon character in his campaign.
