sutiyoso

sutiyoso -lrb- born 6 december 1944 in semarang , central java -rrb- is an indonesian politician and former general who is the director of the state intelligence agency .
known informally as ` bang yos ' , he was the governor of jakarta , the country 's capital , during a turbulent period from 1997 .
during this time there was a total of five presidents in indonesia -lrb- suharto , habibie , gus dur wahid , megawati , and sby -rrb- .
the transitions between presidents were often accompanied by much turmoil and disturbance in the streets of jakarta .
sutiyoso also served as chairman of the badminton association of indonesia -lrb- pbsi -rrb- for the period 2004-2008 .
he is particularly known for his work in supporting the introduction , in early 2000 , of the transjakarta , a bus rapid transit system , in jakarta .
it is widely agreed that better public transport arrangements are badly needed in jakarta so the introduction of the transjakarta system was seen as an important initiative .
however it has not proved easy to ensure that the transjakarta bus system works well so the arrangements are currently regarded as being of mixed success .
sutiyoso announced he was standing for the presidency of indonesia in the 2009 and 2014 election but failed to get enough support to win the nomination .
