Early life and education

[edit]

Muladi was born in Surakarta on 26 May 1943 as the youngest son of Dasijo Darmo Soewito and Sartini.[1] His father, who came from East Java, was a police officer. Muladi moved to Semarang following his father's transfer to the city. Muladi was considered naughty during his childhood and consequently experienced grade retention in elementary and junior high school.[2]

Despite failing to graduate from junior high school, Muladi went on to attend a private high school, the Indonesian Institute High School. After completing high school, he studied law and societal studies at Diponegoro University.[2][3]

At university, Muladi was an active member of the Indonesian National Student Movement. He also joined the Students' Regiment, a student paramilitary organization. He worked for OPS Oil and Gas Company from 1966 until 1969.[1]

After he graduated from the university, Muladi taught as a docent at Diponegoro University since 1986. Muladi taught as a docent for eight years until he was appointed the Rector of the Diponegoro University on 13 April 1994.[4] He still held the rectorate during his tenure as a member of the People's Consultative Assembly and Minister of Justice.[5] He was relieved of the rectorate on 19 May 1998 when he was replaced by Professor Eko Budihardjo.[6]

Habibie, Suharto's vice president, replaced him as a president. Habibie then formed a new cabinet, in which Muladi served again as Minister of Justice.[10] Habibie's cabinet was formed on 23 May 1998[11] and was dissolved on 20 October 1999 following his impeachment and resignation as president.[12]

From 10 May until 20 October 1999, Muladi served as an ad-interim Minister of State Secretary.[13] The previous officeholder, Akbar Tandjung, resigned from his office to campaign for Golkar in the 1999 Indonesian legislative election.[14]
