Born in Kampuno Watampone, South Sulawesi
Nurdin Halid is Executive Chief of Golkar Party, second largest political party in Indonesia
Halid was the chairman of Hasanuddin Village Cooperative Center (Puskud) in Ujung Pandang, from 1992 to 1998. During his leadership, Hasanuddin Puskud earned the reputation as the Best Puskud in Indonesia. The rapid development of Hasanuddin Puskud was due to clove trades.
In December 1995, a total of 20 farmers, representing 300 clove farmers in Bone, demonstrated about the frauds, embezzlements and economic crimes that had been practiced by the Halid family in Bone.
Later, Halid family's monopoly in the purchase of cloves in Bone ended. Three years later, Halid was charged with corrupting South Sulawesian clove farmers saving funds (SWKP) totalling 115,7 billion rupiahs. However, Ujung Pandang District Court acquitted Halid from corruption charge in 1999. In the injunction the council of judges ordered beside the release of Halid, also the release of confiscated evidence, like Halid's luxurious home and a deposit of 8 billion rupiahs in the name of Hasanuddin Puskud after reading of the acquittal. According to the Judge, the four charges concerned irregularities in the clove buy-up, irregularities in the release of clove farmer funds, irregularities in work capital and irregularities of funding. The judge concluded however, that the case only involved one charge entailing four subjects. The judge was of the opinion that cloves from farmers had been bought up by village cooperatives and sold further to the Puskud under various pretenses. As to payment, everything has been settled, including all funds of the clove farmers and village cooperatives. The acquittance of Halid was followed by stone throwings to the court house by university students and various protests and demonstrations around Ujung Pandang.
