Uteng Suryadiyatna (10 November 1942 – 20 August 2023) was an Indonesian military officer and politician who served as the vice governor of Jambi from 1996 to 2001.
He attended the National Military Academy after graduating from high school and received his commission as an army second lieutenant from the infantry corps in 1965.
In regard to illegal logging, Uteng encouraged forest police in the region to conduct regular patrols on the Trans-Sumatra Highway.
[7] As the scale of illegal logging grew larger, the governor formed the Timber Processing Industry Control Team in late 2000, which was led by Uteng.
[9] Aside from his position as vice governor, Uteng was also involved in the local scouting (Pramuka) movement.
[12] After the 1999 Indonesian legislative election in June 1999, there were speculations about the succession to the governor's seat, which was to be vacant in December.
His wife, Azizah Suryadiyatna, who was a councillor in Jambi's legislative body,[2] sought to receive recommendation from the Golkar party as vice governor.
