Raden Sjamsuridjal (11 October 1903 – 29 December 1964), sometimes writtenSyamsurizal, was an Indonesian politician who served as theMayor of Jakarta between 1951 and 1953. Before becoming Jakarta's mayor, he had been mayor ofBandung andSolo.
During his time as a student, Sjamsuridjal was active in the student organizationJong Java, and was its general chairman during its 1924 annual congress. In said congress, Sjamsuridjal put forth a proposal for Islamic teachings for willing organization members, which was shot down following a heated debate and a vote. Due to this, Sjamsuridjal went toAgus Salim and established theJong Islamieten Bond.[2]
Before becomingMayor of Jakarta, Sjamsuridjal served as the mayor of Bandung in 1945.[3] Similarly to the career ofpresidentJoko Widodo, he also served as the mayor of Solo (Surakarta) from 1946 to 1949.[4]
On 27 June 1951, he was appointed to replaceSuwiryo as Mayor of Jakarta. During his mayorship, he oversaw the construction of a new power plant inAncol and improved healthcare through introducing inoculations and building hospitals. He also endorsed educational programs and established street lighting across the city.[5] Although he also extensively created housing projects and attempted to eradicate slums in the city, the slum areas expanded throughout his tenure.[6]
Sjamsuridjal was replaced bySudiro on 9 November 1953.[4] This replacement resulted in demonstrations byMasyumi Party supporters - as the new mayor originated from theIndonesian National Party.[7]
