Willy Lasut

Willy Ghayus Alexander Lasut (28 January 1926[1]: 175  – 4 April 2003) was a military officer and governor of North Sulawesi.

His tenure as Governor of North Sulawesi was abruptly terminated after only 16 months in office.

[2]: 28  No official explanation was given, but during his time as governor, many of his actions were deemed disloyal to the central government.

[4]: 50  This greatly increased the livelihoods of local producers, but angered those outside of the province who were receiving "dividends" from clove sales.

His great-grandson is Dougy Mandagi of the Australian indie rock band The Temper Trap and wrote the sleeper hit Sweet Disposition
