Harun Thohir

Lance Corporal Harun Thohir (alias Harun Said Muhammad Ali) (1947-1968) is now regarded as a National Hero of Indonesia, and known for his role in MacDonald House bombing on 10 March 1965, alongside his partner, Usman Harun (alias Janatin), during the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation.

He, together with Usman was sentenced to death on October 1968, and later buried in Kalibata Heroes' Cemetery, Jakarta. Both of them were later honored as the National Hero of Indonesia, and their names are immortalized in one of the ships of the Bung Tomo-class corvette by the Indonesian Navy,as KRI Usman-Harun. The name however, causes controversy between Indonesia and Singapore, and Singaporean government banned the ship named after them from berthing at their port.
