Rizal Ramli and Memories of His Signature Technique

"Dream - Sad news comes from senior economist Rizal Ramli. The former Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs breathed his last on Tuesday, January 2, 2023."

The translation of "Dua Kali Masuk Kabinet Pemerintahan" to English is "Two Times Entering the Government Cabinet".

Rizal Ramli's activities in the political arena of the homeland are beyond doubt. During his lifetime, the man born in Padang, West Sumatra, on December 10, 1954, was recorded to have served in the government cabinet twice. Rizal Ramli once held the position of Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs and Minister of Finance during the presidency of Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur). He also served as the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Resources in the first cabinet of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

"Since being appointed as the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs during President Jokowi's administration, Rizal Ramli's actions have often caught the public's attention. This former student movement figure frequently criticizes policies that are deemed detrimental to the country."

The translation of "Jurus Kepret Rizal Ramli" to English is "Rizal Ramli's Slap Technique."

"One of the policies he criticized was the purchase of Garuda aircraft, the 35,000 MW power plant project, and the extension of the Freeport contract. He is also known for the Rajawali Kepret strategy, which he often expressed when observing issues within his responsibility."

For example, regarding the management of Tanjung Priok Port, North Jakarta. At that time, Rizal was firm with PT Pelindo II, the port operator company, if they continued to reject the construction of the port railway.

"Because maybe their business could decrease if there are trains. That's why we want to be firm, this time there will be no more rejections. If they refuse, we will snap! Essentially, there must be a train line to the unloading location,"

"the words of Rizal found in his office, Jakarta, Tuesday, August 25, 2015, quoted from Merdeka.com."

"Not only that, he also once expressed his threat of 'kepret' to officials involved in corruption. According to him, Indonesian officials have become too comfortable engaging in corruption, collusion, and nepotism (KKN). He claims he will unleash the 'Rajawali Ngepret' strategy to solve problems in an unconventional way. "The desire from outside (the public) to 'ngepret' those inside (KKN officials)," said Rizal at the LIPI Building, Jakarta, Tuesday, September 15, 2015."

"Besides having served as a minister, Rizal Ramli also held the position of Head of the Logistics Agency (Bulog). The man who graduated from the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) is also a former student movement leader, an economist, and an Indonesian politician."

"At the international level, Rizal was once trusted as a member of the advisory panel on economics for the United Nations (UN) alongside several economic figures from various other countries. Because he wanted to focus on serving the state and the nation of Indonesia, Rizal once declined the international position of Secretary-General (SG) of the Economic & Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) offered by the UN in November 2013."
