The facts
The clipping is from Harian Kompas of 22 December 1998, which relayed a report by the Jordanian daily Al-Ra'i that Jordan's cabinet had approved citizenship for Prabowo. In a fax to Kompas at the time, Prabowo said he had to decline the offer because Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship, and no record shows he took up Jordanian citizenship.
