Raden Muhammad Yogie Suardi Memet (16 May 1929 – 7 June 2007) was an Indonesian military officer who also served as Minister of Home Affairs under Suharto between 1993 and 1998, and as Governor of West Java between 1985 and 1993.

Born in Cirebon, Yogie joined the armed forces as a student soldier during the Indonesian National Revolution, and continued to serve in the army.

After his military career, he became governor of West Java in 1985, his second term being interrupted in 1993 when he was appointed as Home Affairs Minister.

After the revolution, he joined the armed forces, participating in operations against the Darul Islam rebellion in West Java and later against the Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia.

[1][2] In 1965, Yogie as a major was commander of the 330th airborne infantry battalion assigned to Sulawesi tasked with hunting down Darul Islam leader Abdul Kahar Muzakkar.

Shortly after he took command, he organized several platoons of special forces which were to infiltrate into Portuguese Timor to support and liaise with pro-Indonesian partisans.

[5] By 1976, after the Indonesian invasion of East Timor, Yogie had been promoted to brigadier general and Kopassandha under him launched paratrooper operations, including the capture of Suai in February.

[14] In July 1993, Yogie utilized thugs to disrupt an Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI) congress in Medan, and as a result of the chaos he managed to invalidate the election of Suryadi as chairman.

In order to do this, the government sponsored a competing congress in Medan which elected the previously ousted Suryadi as PDI chairman.

[20] Megawati and her supporters refused to accept the congress' outcome and continued to occupy PDI's offices in Jakarta, resulting in the 27 July 1996 incident when thugs assaulted the building and five people died.
