## Bio

Born 7 September 1940 as the son of a minister and grandson of the man who founded Nahdlatul Ulama, Abdurrahman Wahid grew up inside Indonesia's largest Islamic organization. Glaucoma cost him sight in his left eye and most of his right, but he rose to lead Nahdlatul Ulama for years before founding the National Awakening Party in 1998. Elected Indonesia's fourth president in 1999, he used his brief tenure to undo Suharto-era restrictions: Presidential Decree No. 6 annulled the 1967 ban that had confined Chinese New Year celebrations to community centers, and he established Confucianism as the nation's sixth official religion in 2000. Parliament removed him from office in 2001. He died 30 December 2009, the only Indonesian president to have governed with physical disabilities and the only one confirmed to carry Chinese ancestry.
