Jusuf Wibisono (EVO:Joesoef Wibisono; 28 February 1909 – 15 June 1982) was an Indonesian politician and economist. A member of theMasyumi Party, he served asMinister of Finance from 1951 to 1952 and again from 1956 to 1957, under theSoekiman andSecond Ali Sastroamidjojo cabinets. Born inMagelang, Wibisono took part in Islamic organizations in the nationalist movement from his school years. He joined Masyumi during theIndonesian National Revolution, and became a leading member within the party despite disagreements with other party leaders such asMohammad Natsir. In both of his tenures as finance minister, Wibisono relaxed the tight budgetary controls of his predecessor, and provided favors to political parties.
An ardent opponent of theCommunist Party of Indonesia, Wibisono attempted to organize the Masyumi to work with PresidentSukarno during the late 1950s to oppose the communists. Instead, he was sidelined in the party before being arrested by the government in crackdowns due to Masyumi involvement in thePRRI rebellion. Following thefall of Sukarno, he and former Prime MinisterSoekiman Wirjosandjojo considered establishing their own political party, though they decided against it. Instead, Wibisono joined the ranks of theIndonesian Islamic Union Party (PSII), but the PSII's poor performance in the1971 legislative election led to his retirement from politics. He died in 1982 atDr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. (Full article...)
