YOGYAKARTA Raja Juli Antoni's profile is in the spotlight. The reason is, the man who currently serves as Minister of Forestry in the era of President Prabowo seems to be familiar with Aziz Wellang, a person who once stumbled on a case of illegal logging in the forest area of Katingan Regency. The attention of the community itself was focused on when the Minister of Transportation was caught playing domino with Aziz Wellang. Apart from the controversy, who is King Juli Antoni?
Raja Juli Antoni adalah politikus Tanah Air yang lahir di Kota Pekanbaru, Riau pada 13 Juli 1977. Saat ini ia menjabat sebagai Sekretaris Jenderal Partai Solidaritas Indonesia (PSI), partai yang saat ini diketuai oleh Kaesang Pangarep.
The figure of King Juli Antoni is not just anyone. He was born into a family that was quite seen in Riau. His father, King Ramli Ibrahim, was a public figure in Lubuk Jambi who had been Deputy Chairman of the Regional Leadership (PW) Muhammadiyah Riau.
His religious background is also reflected in his education. He had studied religion at Darul Arqam Muhammadiyah Islamic Boarding School, Garut, West Java. After graduating, he continued his formal education at S1 IAIN Syarif Hidayatullah (UIN Jakarta) majoring in Al-Qur'an Science and Interpretation.
After graduating from Bachelor's degree (S1) in 2020, King Juli Antoni then continued his education abroad. He is known to continue his master's degree at Universitas Bradford, England and S3 at the University of Queensland, Australia.
Some people know Raja Juli Antoni, a young PSI politician who is a former PDI-P cadre. This image is certainly not wrong because the man who now serves as Minister of Forestry has indeed changed political parties. But long before entering politics, Raja Juli was known to be quite active in the organization.
In 2000, King Juli Antoni was the General Chair of the Muhammadiyah Student Association (PP HDI) until 2002. Not only that, he had joined The Indonesian Institute (TII), an independent public policy research institute. No kidding, Raja Juli served as Executive Director at the institution.
Raja Juli also served as Executive Director of the Maarif Institute, an institution founded by Indonesian scholar Ahmad Syafii Maarif and former Chairman of PP Muhammadiyah.
Although his experience in religious organizations was quite long, Raja Juli finally decided to join the political party chaired by Megawati Soekarnoputri.
Through PDIP, Raja Juli then ran for office in 2009 as a member of the legislature in the 2009 Legislative General Election. At that time he ran for the West Java IX Election Area including Subang, Sumedang, and Majalengka Regencies. But unfortunately he failed to win votes.
