Mochtar Lubis
Mochtar Lubis (; 7 March 1922 – 2 July 2004) was an Indonesian journalist and novelist who co-founded ''
Indonesia Raya'' and monthly literary magazine ''
Horison''. His novel ''
Senja di Jakarta'' (''Twilight in Jakarta'' in English) was the first
Indonesian novel to be translated into English. He was a critic of
Sukarno and was imprisoned by him, as well as by
Suharto on several later occasions. He held strong anti-
leftist views and was seen by critics as aligned with military and pro-US forces that were opposed to Sukarno’s
non-aligned policies, a charge that he himself denied.
