Siti Hartati Tjakra Murdaya (Chow Li Ing),[1] born 29 August 1946,[2] is a prominent Indonesian businesswoman, Buddhist leader and convicted corruption felon.

She co-founded the Cipta Cakra Murdaya (CCM) group of companies, which is involved in real estate, IT, timber, plantations, consumer goods and engineering.

Hartati was in 2013 sentenced to 32 months in jail for paying bribes to obtain permits for her oil palm plantation companies.

Regarded as cronies of authoritarian president Suharto, the couple made their fortunes through lucrative procurement contracts for state electricity company PLN.

[5] As their business grew, Hartati and her husband went on to cooperate with some of the world's largest power companies, such as Fuji Electric of Japan and Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) of Switzerland.

Hartati quickly responded in December 1998 by founding the Representatives of the Indonesian Buddhist Community (Perwakilan Umat Buddha Indonesia, also called Walubi), which she has led since its inception.

[15] After the 2018 Sunda Strait tsunami, which killed over 400 people and left over 14,000 homeless, Hartati was involved in the provision of relief aid.

[16] In November 2018, Hartati paid Rp120 million for a painting of Muslim leader and vice presidential candidate Ma'ruf Amin at a charity auction to raise funds for victims of the 2018 earthquake and tsunami in Palu and Donggala, Central Sulawesi.

[24] Her parole was granted by justice minister Amir Syamsuddin, who served with Hartati on the Democratic Party's board of advisers.

[27] The Buol Farmers Forum also condemned the parole, saying Hartati's company had used military and police force to seize their traditional farmland, which was subsequently converted to oil palm plantations.

[30] Environmental groups and farmers have accused Hartati's CCM of using military force and paying bribes to take control of customary land and forests in Buol district.

The report said neither CCM nor its Hardaya Plantations Group (HPG) is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and neither has a public "no deforestation, no peat, no exploitation" (NDPE) policy.

[13] After the fall of Suharto, Hartati's husband, Murdaya Widyawimatra Poo, joined the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) of Megawati Sukarnoputri, who served as president from 2001 to 2004.
