Not "maybe", he is indeed famous internationally, I think I have read a story that Hitler personally awarded gold medal to him in 1936 after defeating the two Germans with a big margin

Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world. Them taking part in Pan Arab Games makes more sense than you probably realize ;)
