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 Indonesian National Armed Forces and pro-U.S forces that were opposed to Sukarno’s non-aligned policies, a charge that he himself denied.
