Why is the Bedugul Taman Hotel abandoned?

‘ Indonesia’s Haji Muhammad Suharto, initiated the construction of a hotel in Bedugul. His goal was to create a luxurious residence worthy of the head of state’s family to stay here, as well as popularize the region with tourists.

The president’s son was an entrepreneur and planned to spend a substantial amount of money to make the hotel look impressive both inside and out. Tommy attracted talented foreign architects and designers, did not save on materials. The realization of the project required a lot of time, but this did not stop the young man.

.
‘ Bali as a vacation destination, and construction was frozen as potentially unprofitable.”

An alternative continuation of the story suggests that Tommy Suharto had a lot of fun without thinking about tomorrow and not only at his own expense. As a consequence, the president’s son was charged with embezzlement of public funds on a large scale. His case was taken up by Judge Siafuttdin Kartasasmit, who was notable for his incorruptibility. It was decided to eliminate the uncooperative servant of the law, but this action only aggravated the situation. Despite his high status and the name Suharto, Tommy was sentenced to 15 years for financial fraud, attempted assassination of a judge and transferring money to a killer. At the time, the presidential family no longer cared about the hotel, so it was left standing abandoned.
