KH Agus Salim
Informally bestowed the honorific title of the “Grand Old Man” (Kamitua yang
A Mulia), Salim was reported to be fluent in at least nine languages. Minangkabau
and Malay would have been his natives languages, followed by English, Dutch,
French, Japanese, German, Latin, and Turkish. He (raise/ raised/ raising) his chil-
dren in a multilingual household.In an anecdote told by Cornell professor George
McTurnan Kahin to historian Asvi Warman Adam, Salim and South Vietnamese
leader (and future president) Ngo Dinh Diem sat together in a faculty dining room
at the Cornell campus. Salim stroke a conversation he soon dominated over
French-educated Diem.

Salim married Zaenatun Nahar, a cousin, on 1912. The marriage produced eight
B children: Theodora Atia (Dolly); Jusuf Taufik (Totok); Violet Hanifah (Yoyet); Maria
Zenobia; Achmad Sjewket; Islam Basjari; Abdul Hadi; Siti Asia; Zuchra Adiba; and
Abdurrachman Ciddiq. Hadi and Adiba (dies/ die/ died) as babies, while Sjewket
was killed in action during the Indonesian revolution. Chalid Salim, Salim’s young-
er brother, was a communist who became Catholic pastor during his years of
exile in Boven Digoel. Emil Salim, a prominent economist and minister in Suharto
administration, is a nephew.

Salim was best remembered for his sharp wit and debating skills. In a version of
C the story (as told by Jef Last), several Sarekat Islam members (tries/ try/ tried) to
mock Salim, who is in the middle of a speech, with goat sounds; alluring to Sal-
im’s white beard and in a way, his devout Islamic faith. Salim calmly (responds/
responded/ responding) by asking the chair “whether Sarekat has invited a herd
of goats to its meeting”; and if yes, “as a polyglot I would honour their right to lis-
ten to a speech by speaking in hircine language.” In another instance, Salim was
mocked by Bergmeyer, a Dutch member of the Volksraad for delivering a speech
in Malay. At one point Salim had said ekonomi, the Malayized word for economy,
and Bergmeyer challenged him to state the original Malay for the word. Salim
quickly retorted: “if you can say what ‘economy’ is in the original Dutch, I’ll state
the Malay version for you.” Both Malay and Dutch absorbed ‘economy’ from the
Ancient Greek word, so there would be no original word in both languages.

Haji Agus Salim was an Indonesian journalist, diplomat, and statesman. He (serve/
D served/ serving) as Indonesia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs between 1947 and 1949.
Agus Salim was born Masjhoedoelhaq Salim on October 8, 1884, in the village of

a colonial prosecutor and judge whose highest rank was chief judge for the indig-
enous court in Tanjung Pinang. His birth name, which translates into “defender of
truth”, was changed into Agus Salim early in his childhood.
