Sutiyoso(born 6 December 1944) is an Indonesianpoliticianand formergeneralwho served as the Director of theState Intelligence Agencyfrom July 2015 to September 2016.[3][4][5]Known informally as 'Bang Yos', he also served as thegovernorofJakarta,the country's capital, during a turbulent political period from 1997 to 2007. During this time there was a total of five presidents in Indonesia (Suharto,B. J. Habibie,Gus Dur Wahid,Megawati,andSBY). The transitions between presidents were often accompanied by much turmoil and disturbance in the streets of Jakarta. Sutiyoso also served as chairman of theBadminton Association of Indonesia(PBSI) for the period 2004–2008.[6]
He is particularly known for his work in supporting the introduction, in early 2000, of theTransJakarta,abus rapid transitsystem, in Jakarta.[7]It is widely agreed that better public transport arrangements are badly needed in Jakarta so the introduction of the TransJakarta system was seen as an important initiative. However it has not proved easy to ensure that the TransJakarta bus system works well so the arrangements are currently[when?]regarded as being of mixed success.
Sutiyoso announced he was standing for the presidency of Indonesia in the 2009 and 2014 election but failed to get enough support to win the nomination. He was also chairman of theIndonesian Justice and Unity Partybetween 2010 and 2015.
