Fahmi Idris (Born in Jakarta on September 20, 1943 - May 22, 2022) was an Indonesian prominent businessman and politician. He was an Indonesian government minister under the Habibie and Yudhoyono presidencies. He received a doctorate title from University of Indonesia as well as appointed a Honorary Professor at State University of Padang.[1]
After becoming an activist during the transition to the New Order era, in the late 1960s he became an entrepreneur. In 1969, he founded PT Kwarta Daya Pratama and joined PT Krama Yudha four years later. In 1978, he co-established Kodel (Kongsi Delapan) Group with Soegeng Saryadi, Aburizal Bakrie, Pontjo Sutowo, and Said Umar Husin, and became president director. The group continuously expanded its business into wide ranging sectors, such as insurance, chemicals, agribusiness, banking, real estate, and hotels. The groups own the Regent Hotel (now Four Seasons Hotel) and Hotel Ibis Tamarin (both in Jakarta) and the sole agent of Land Rover in Indonesia.[3]
Fahmi was also an accomplished politician. In the Golkar party, he was believed to have strong and far reaching patronage network. In 1998, he sat on the central board of party and in that year was appointed Minister of Manpower and Transmigration. He did not join the cabinet during Abdurrahman Wahid and Megawati presidencies. Under Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono presidency, he returned to the position of Minister of Manpower and Transmigration. In 2005, he survived a cabinet reshuffle and moved on to become Minister for Industry.[4]
