Djuanda Kartawidjaja’s Lifelong Dedication to Muhammadiyah and Indonesia’s Maritime Boundaries

MUHAMMADIYAH.OR.ID, YOGYAKARTA – Ir. H. Raden Djoeanda Kartawidjaja, better known as Djuanda Kartawidjaja, played a crucial role in shaping Indonesia’s maritime policies. In 1957, he declared the nation’s maritime boundaries, a landmark decision in Indonesia’s history. His name is widely recognized and honored in various public spaces, including roads, an airport, a train station, and a nature reserve.

Before becoming a national figure, Djuanda was actively involved in Muhammadiyah. His father, Raden Kartawidjaja, was a Muhammadiyah leader in Tasikmalaya, which greatly influenced Djuanda’s dedication to the organization.

After graduating from Technische Hofe School, now the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), Djuanda chose to serve as the principal of SMA Muhammadiyah Jakarta at the age of 23, despite being offered a higher-paying position as an assistant professor at his alma mater with a salary of 275 guilders.

During his five years leading AMS (Algemene Middelbare School) and Kweekschool Muhammadiyah in Kramat Raya, Jakarta, Djuanda was known for his calm and kind manner. He dedicated himself to improving the quality of education so Muhammadiyah students could compete with those from Dutch government schools.

He also played a key role in planning the Muhammadiyah College of Social and Economic Studies, which was approved at the Muhammadiyah Quarter-Century Congress in 1936. However, World War II disrupted these plans, leading to the closure of the AMS. Following this, Djuanda worked as an engineer in Jakarta and West Java, aligning with his educational background.

His career continued to progress, eventually leading him to government service. Djuanda became one of Indonesia’s most trusted officials, holding ministerial positions 15 times, a remarkable achievement that no other national figure has surpassed. His journey from educator to statesman reflects a lifelong commitment to public service and a lasting legacy of impactful contributions.
