Muhidin Mohamad Said (born 7 October 1950) is an Indonesian businessman and politician of the Golkar party who has been a member of the House of Representatives from Central Sulawesi since 2004. He had previously been a regional representation from the province in the People's Consultative Assembly between 1992 and 2004.

Early life

[edit]

Muhidin Mohamad Said was born on 7 October 1950 in Soppeng, in South Sulawesi. As a child, he had moved to Palu in Central Sulawesi, where he completed his studies at public schools. He graduated from Palu's public high school No. 1 (SMA Negeri 1 Palu) in 1970. He continued to stay in Palu for university, studying economics at Tadulako University between 1971 and 1975.[1]

Career

[edit]

After graduating from Tadulako, Said entered business, particularly in cocoa bean production and in real estate.[1] He would also lecture at Tadulako's politics and social science faculty.[2]

In the 1980s, he joined Golkar, and in 1992 he was appointed as a regional representative for Central Sulawesi to the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR). He remained a member until 2004, when amendments to the Constitution of Indonesia removed regional representative seats in the MPR. Said instead ran for a Central Sulawesi seat in the House of Representatives (DPR; a constituent of MPR) in the legislative election that year, and was elected.[1] He was reelected for a second DPR term in 2009 with 87,412 votes,[3] a third term in 2014 with 131,508 votes,[4] a fourth in 2019 with 94,779 votes,[5] and a fifth with 154,301 votes in 2024.[6]

In his 2019–2024 and 2024–2029 terms, Said was appointed deputy chairman of DPR's budget commission.[7][8] He has also been part of the DPR Fifth and Eleventh Commissions.[1] As of 2024, he was the longest-serving incumbent national legislator in Indonesia.[2][9] Kompas in 2024 compared the length of his tenure at MPR and DPR with the presidency of Suharto, which lasted 32 years.[10]

Said in his 2014–2019 term led the creation of a Construction Services law, which regulated a minimum standard of payment for construction workers,[11] and also pushed for a water resources law which regulated private water usage.[12] In 2021, he voiced his concern over the growth in cryptocurrency transactions in Indonesia, citing associated illegal activities.[13]

Personal life

[edit]

Said is married to Sri Sulistiasti, and the couple has five children.[14] He has a history of hypertension. In one DPR budget meeting in June 2022, he collapsed in front of the assembly after delivering a report, although he recovered after receiving treatment from the legislature's medical team.[7]
